A post on Korean online community theqoo titled “What Red Velvet Did When They Didn’t Like Their Year-End Stage Styling” is drawing widespread attention, revealing a humorous behind-the-scenes story about the group’s outfit approval process.
According to the post, the incident took place during a year-end stage, a time when most artists appear in glamorous, elaborate outfits. In contrast, Red Velvet’s styling reportedly felt unusually off, immediately catching fans’ attention.
Seulgi later explained that the controversial outfit originally included an initial headband. After seeing it, the members quickly reached a consensus that “this absolutely cannot pass.” Instead of outright rejecting it, they decided on a subtle strategy.
When sending photos for final approval to senior staff, the members intentionally posed with extremely sad expressions, hoping their dissatisfaction would be unmistakably conveyed through their faces alone. After fans heard this anecdote, many wondered just how bad the styling must have been. That curiosity was answered when the original photo of the outfit surfaced online, prompting instant reactions of understanding.
Netizen Reactions
As the post climbed the rankings on theqoo, comments poured in—many criticizing the styling team while laughing at the members’ exaggerated expressions:
- “They’re seriously bad at their job. If this weren’t Red Velvet, it could’ve been a disaster.”
- “Wow… did they completely lose their minds with that styling?”
- “This is actually hilarious.”
- “Her mouth corners are about to touch the floor… I’m crying.”
- “LOL this is killing me.”
- “That headband is insanely tacky, but their expressions are way too cute.”
Fans praised Red Velvet for handling the situation cleverly and as a team, while also expressing disbelief that such a styling choice was proposed in the first place.
