About Red Velvet
Red Velvet, formed by SM Entertainment in 2014, is a South Korean girl group that quickly rose to prominence with their distinctive dual concept, which alternates between their "Red" side, showcasing bright, bubbly pop, and their "Velvet" side, which focuses on smoother, more R&B-influenced tracks. The group consists of five members: Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, Joy, and Yeri. They made a striking debut with the single "Happiness" and have since become known for their versatile music styles, visually stunning music videos, and compelling live performances. Red Velvet is acclaimed for their experimental approach to music and fashion, making them one of the most notable acts in K-pop.

    Korea Times May 1, 2026

    SM Entertainment opened its first official merchandise store in China, marking a notable step in the K-pop powerhouse's push into a market where cultural ties with Seoul have long been strained. The company launched SMTOWN STORE Shanghai, Wednesday, at Xinliubai YOUNG in Shanghai’s Xujiahui District, as part of a broader effort to expand its global retail footprint. Spanning about 335 square meters, the store offers official merchandise from SM artists — aespa, the NCT subunits, RIIZE, Girls' Generation, Red Velvet and more — alongside a light stick display zone, album photo walls and large multimedia screens, positioning the space as more than a conventional retail outlet. Located near the city's Xujiahui Station, which serves subway lines 1, 9 and 11, the site benefits from steady foot traffic and proximity to major universities such as Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Fudan University, drawing a young, trend-driven consumer base. According to an SM press release, interest was strong ahead of the opening, fueled by social media buzz. A themed pop-up tied to the label's boy band
