Red Velvet changes Instagram profile before comeback sparked discussion

The popular girl group Red Velvet is about to make a comeback, and their recent change to the official Instagram account's profile description has sparked a lot of discussion among fans. In response to fans' curiosity, their management company SM Entertainment has also provided an explanation of the situation.

Red Velvet has been under the spotlight recently due to contract renewal issues, which have raised questions about whether they will continue to promote as a complete group in the future. According to the standard contract terms of the Fair Trade Commission in South Korea, the typical idol contract period is seven years. Red Velvet, who debuted in 2014, renewed their contracts in 2021, and news of Seulgi's contract renewal was reported in August. However, there hasn't been any news regarding the contract renewals of the other members.

Given this, fans are eagerly watching to see whether Red Velvet will renew their contracts as a complete group. As they confirm their comeback and embark on promotional activities, fans are filled with anticipation for Red Velvet's first full album in six years.

With their comeback set for the 13th, Red Velvet has been revealing their comeback schedule, and the official SNS account name for Red Velvet has been changed to "Happy Ending." Some fans speculate whether this change hints at members not renewing their contracts, while others suggest that it might be a concept for their new album. This change is also seen as part of their promotional efforts for the comeback.

A source from Red Velvet's agency, SM Entertainment, also told the Korean media Xports News, "This change is based on the style of their new album." They emphasized that, with the upcoming comeback activities and enthusiastic promotions, it's somewhat absurd and awkward to focus on such matters, and everyone should pay more attention to Red Velvet's long-awaited activities.
