South Korean girl group Red Velvet (레드벨벳), who debuted in 2014, has now been active for 10 years. As the members have matured in their careers, their dedicated fanbase has also progressed through various life stages alongside them.
Recently, the group's official channel released a behind-the-scenes video from their latest FAN-CON concert. Unexpectedly, the comment section featured a remark that left many fans both laughing and nodding in agreement: "I feel like there are no young fans here anymore. Can the subtitles be a bit bigger? It's really hard to see now..."
Here are translated comments from Korean netizens
1. The font is already small, and the thin typeface makes it even blurrier, LOL.
2. Aside from anything else, the subtitles are really too small, and... this font isn't easy to read either... LOL.
3. It's truly ridiculous; how can they be this small? LOL.
4. I can't see anything; I have to keep pinching to zoom in to read it.
5. Looks like this is also a gathering place for older folks, LOL. Everyone's opinions are so consistent, LOL.
6. But at least there's self-produced content to watch.
7. The purple text is even harder to see, LOL.
8. How big is the editor's monitor that they made the subtitles so small? LOL.
9. They're really too small, LOL. Please make the font bigger and switch to an easier-to-read typeface...
10. Adjust the font size and change to a readable font; what is that, seriously ㅠㅠㅠㅠ.
11. I thought I was the only one, LOL. The subtitles are really getting smaller and smaller.
12. Ah, I'm genuinely dying of laughter ㅜ LOL. Their way of speaking is hilarious, and then the subtitles are so tiny, it just makes it even funnier.
13. Even young people can't see them, LOL. So many people watch videos on their phones now; the subtitles are way too small, LOL.
14. Honestly, even young people probably can't see them clearly.
15. They are genuinely tiny ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Please make them bigger!
16. It's not just the font size; the color seems to be an issue too, LOL. Ah, seriously, I'm dying of laughter.
17. The dialogue subtitles are one thing, but the purple subtitles are way too small, LOL. I'm dying.
18. The dialogue subtitles are one thing, but the purple subtitles are way too small, LOL. I'm dying.
19. Those are really too small, LOL. I don't think this is an age issue at all.
20. No, those are genuinely too small, LOL. And the subtitle design is also strange; the whole thing is terribly done.
21. At least add a text background box; you really can't see anything, LOL.
22. At least add a dark background behind the subtitles; you really can't see them clearly.
23. Regular YouTube videos usually consider that many people watch on their phones, so subtitles are often made larger. This time, it's really strange.
24. They're too small ㅜㅜㅠㅠ Even the colors are hard to distinguish.
25. LOL, the subtitles for H2H's self-produced videos are clearly big, but Red Velvet's are super small. Even though we're older, we still have to beg them to make the subtitles bigger, LOL.
26. And the subtitles even misspell the members' names; it's a complete mess. Please fix it.
27. I was wondering if they were ignoring us older fans, LOL. But then I looked closely, and I really couldn't see them;;;;;;
28. Not just too small, wouldn't black text be better? Is the subtitle person Mongolian? Their eyesight must be incredible. (Korean netizens use this to jokingly compliment someone's excellent eyesight)
29. When I was watching that part, I also thought I might have presbyopia because the subtitles were too small.
30. At least add a background, LOL. The subtitle color and background are practically identical; who can see that clearly!
