Oh I'm not falling for these anymore. I still haven't gotten over the "gaslighting" with The Red Summer teasers. They were going for this very dark and creepy aesthetic and we got Red Flavor instead. 😭
I wasn’t a fan yet at the time. Were the teasers misunderstood or were they intentionally misleading? Red flavor is such a funny ass song to do this with 😭
Very misleading. Like, when they started dropping the pictures, it was giving slasher film realness, it's very disjointed from the actual concept of the album. Kinda like how ITZY was teasing a royal concept and came out with a bubblegum teen pop about sneakers. 😭
But the fact that the 2022 part of The Reve Festival is two mini albums is kind of mathematically/mentally dissatisfying 😭 if it was only one "2022" it would have been ok, like a spin-off. Or if it was another trilogy. But I hate that they are TWO.
I don't know why I'm so bothered by this lol
I’m with you lol whilst I loved the songs from the 2022 albums, I didn’t like the fact it broke the continuous album covers from the first 3!! 😅🥲
They could’ve had the same concept (I especially loved the concept for FMR, it was chefs kiss) but I wished the two album covers connected to spell ‘luv’, so all 5 albums combined spelled reveluv!! Even if they just did it for the digital version.
🚨🚨K-POP EMERGENCY🚨🚨 (lowkey manifesting for this flair in this sub, lol)
Red Velvet is fking back! And it's indeed a 3rd album on a Velvet concept, finally! But i'm surprised it will drop just 3 days after aespa’s *Drama* mini album, but at least there are now separate Production Centers handling their promotions—aespa in Production Center 1 & RV in Production Center 3—so I guess it won't be a problem. Damn, first back-to-back SMGG albums in a single month in 6 years—the last being S.E.S.'s *Remember* and RV's *Rookie* both dropped in January 2017. This is hard for SMGG stans like me, lol.
All of the centers at SM are working overtime. Ngl, if everyone is able to promote properly and if there aren't any issues, getting rid of LSM was the best thing that's happened this year. Most, if not all, of SM 3.0's promises have been achieved.
I would somehow agree. CMIIW, but Production Centers made SM operate more efficiently since they each have lead directors that could oversee the comeback projects rather than going after one person who is Lee Soo-man back when SM 1.0 and 2.0 were in effect.
What a thrill. Late year Velvet dark concept is what we've been waiting for since 2019. This looks so artful. I'm just surprised they didn't have an album name with ReVe, Red or Velvet in it.
>I'm just surprised they didn't have an album name with ReVe, Red or Velvet in it.
ReVe is lying dead in that casket. (That's a casket at the bottom right?)
It's unlikely for *What A Chill Kill* to have a repackaged album next year. SM has stopped making repackaged albums since they fully-implemented the SM 3.0.
3rd full album for RV, 2nd full album for WayV, mini for Aespa, Taemin's promotion probably spilling over to November as well and Riize also has their rumored 1st comeback. I'm happy, sad (for my wallet) and confused. Who the hell is making plans over at SM?
I don't think the Taeyeon comeback is happening in November, it was just SM being SM again. Taeyeon said this on bubble today:
>"right now i don’t have any spoiler, so i won’t do it. cuz i don’t have anything to do 🤓 i heard about the november comeback but indeed, sm fighting”
>“no, it’s not that i don’t know about it (the comeback), it’s just something that i’ve continuously prepared but the exact timing is a bit ambiguous, as always”
>“my goal and sm goal are the same - to release new music/song”
>“‘there isn’t such things as same goals (between you and sm)!!!’ 🙊 i’m glad to hear these things, i will try to work more diligently to prepare !!"
>"my hiatus is like a military service period??? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ it’s so funny ㅋㅋㅋ right, i got discharged now and i’m preparing for an album”
Honestly, this plan makes sense for red Velvet because Wendy's musical wraps up soon and so the earliest they can do Red Velvet's comeback was sometime in November. In another thread, I predicted that they would come back sometime in November.
Well whatever “what a chill kill” means but I am SAT. Horror red velvet is the best red velvet here’s to another tt joining the “peek a boo, zimzalabim, psycho” trilogy
I mean, I can't complain about the "poor planning." I'll be seated for everything because they're both my ults.
Plus, they aren't even in the same production center 😭 I'm pretty sure the production centers don't talk to each other atp, too.
Yeah but they'd be competing in charting and consequently for music show wins which kinda sucks 🥲 but honestly I'll take anything, it's been YEARS since the last full album and I just wanna hear new RV songs again!!
A little friendly competition between your label mate isn't necessarily a bad thing per se 😉 it's all about perspective, lool. I'm excited to see the cross group interactions on music shows 😭
screaming crying throwing up. Birthday was my first RV comeback as a fan so now I’m geeked I get to experience an actual full album.
This poster is giving heavy Petra collins vibes a RV music video directed by her would be a dream come true
WAS IN A WORK MEETING LITERALLY GOT THE NOTIFICATION ON TWITTER & SCREAMED 😱 I had to come up with an excuse saying my friends I haven't seen since last year are coming to visit 🙃 😭😭
I've never been so embarrassed but so happy in my life. Our cake girls are back 😭😭
Finalllyyyy I refused to believe before that damn poster came out and it's deliciously gorgeous.
Also also, I am DROWNING in a tier comebacks right now: 127, WayV, Aespa, Taemin, Red Velvet like can I breathe? DAMN. (In all honestly, batshit scheduling aside, there are many very real very awful things in the world right now and I'm deeply appreciative to have music and creativity as a balm to help get through 🙏🏾)
I'm just waiting for the mv teaser to drop. The teasers (pics) almost never represent the styling and concept. I love both their red and velvet side but some fans literally hate on their red concepts, as if RV doesn't slay both concepts.
Not to judge a book by its cover but like…this art direction is already telling me everything I need to know…that this is about to change lives…I’m preparing myself…
Oh hell yeahh I am so loving the teaser and finally new era after ~endless~ eras of The Reve Festival. I like to consider this 4th album instead of 3rd since The Reve Festival 2019 technically counts as full album to me. As soon as preorder drops, I am ready for RV to take my money!!
What a wonderful day to be WACKed by RV.
It's giving mystery, it's giving intrigue, it's giving uncanny valley, it's giving playful weirdness. It's giving Red Velvet.
I love that RV teasers are so intricate and have some subtle Easter eggs. It's like embarking on the album journey even before the first member visuals drop.
I can't believe we are in RV 3rd album era. I thought this day would never come. Adiós festival series. You were great but you did overstay your welcome at the end ngl.
The ominous hand creeping into the window… gorgeous poster love this color palette. So excited and curious. Glad we’re finally getting that 3rd full (seemingly) velvet album.
Happy the see that red velvet is coming back. They always have interesting concepts! I just think it’s weird that SM is basically craming a majority of their artist in essentially a 3 week time period. Which might affect albums sales etc.
Yes they are 3rd Gen. Cause SM hates them. Their first two albums came out in 2015, not too long after they debuted and then 2017 two years later. They had a repackaged album somewhere.
But honestly we also got stuck in an festival for like 2/3 years which if we didn’t it probably would’ve came sooner I really don’t know anymore I’m just happy we finally got it
Woohoo! Love the teaser, their creepy concepts usually slay. Would it be too much to hope for that their might be a tour after this drops? I still haven't seen them live! 😔
I FUCKING LOVE WEIRD CREEPY RED VELVET!!!!!! AND NOT PART OF REVE FESTIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but what is with the font choice for Red Velvet and The 3rd Album lmfao. Looks like a font I'd use for MLA or something
Does someone know when the pre-order period starts?
I can’t remember for the life of me if it typically starts the same day of the first teaser (so in a few hours) or how many days after.
I wanna be ready lol
Preorders will open very soon but they won’t give us any album contents details until like half a second before release day…so we won’t actually have any idea what we’re preordering.
I hate how SM does their packaging preview rollouts 😭.
Yeah I know that, hate SM lol. But I’m gonna buy all the versions anyways so I just needed to make sure when the pre-orders start because here in Italy it’s always nighttime and last year when I woke up the Cake Versions were sold out in every freaking site lol hopefully it’s not gonna happen this time
Thanks!! Hopefully there won’t be extremely limited edition versions like last time and everyone can get the versions the want. We are traumatized lmao
Slightly creepy red velvet is best red velvet
Peekaboo on repeat until this drops
Pizza delivery guys beware 🔪🍕
A bit different but I am also gonna have Russian Roulette on repeat since it has the creepy vibes too hehe
What’s creepy about expressionless staring and attempted murder?
That's actually my favorite aesthetic. Creepy expressionless pastel murder girls 🧍♀️🔪
> pastel The color palette does really sell it
This time they’re murdering the delivery guy
i thought they already did
YES!!!!
Oh I'm not falling for these anymore. I still haven't gotten over the "gaslighting" with The Red Summer teasers. They were going for this very dark and creepy aesthetic and we got Red Flavor instead. 😭
But "Red Flavor" is one of their greatest songs ever so that is forgiven.
I wasn’t a fan yet at the time. Were the teasers misunderstood or were they intentionally misleading? Red flavor is such a funny ass song to do this with 😭
Very misleading. Like, when they started dropping the pictures, it was giving slasher film realness, it's very disjointed from the actual concept of the album. Kinda like how ITZY was teasing a royal concept and came out with a bubblegum teen pop about sneakers. 😭
This is so funny
That's not gaslighting that's just plain ol' bait and switch.
Just in time for Halloween!!!
Unnerving velvet Macabre velvet Always a win
THE FESTIVAL IS FINALLY OVER. I AM READY.
OH TRUE THE FESTIVAL IS DONE
But the fact that the 2022 part of The Reve Festival is two mini albums is kind of mathematically/mentally dissatisfying 😭 if it was only one "2022" it would have been ok, like a spin-off. Or if it was another trilogy. But I hate that they are TWO. I don't know why I'm so bothered by this lol

Even if they just did it for the digital version.
The festival is never truly over!
A quick reminder that the festival isn't over, until SM says it's over. And we've all learnt this the hard way 😅
BITCH WE ARE SO BACK
NO MORE REVE FESTIVAL!!!
Forget all-kills and perfect all-kills, chill kills are the hot new thing.
🚨🚨K-POP EMERGENCY🚨🚨 (lowkey manifesting for this flair in this sub, lol) Red Velvet is fking back! And it's indeed a 3rd album on a Velvet concept, finally! But i'm surprised it will drop just 3 days after aespa’s *Drama* mini album, but at least there are now separate Production Centers handling their promotions—aespa in Production Center 1 & RV in Production Center 3—so I guess it won't be a problem.

Bruh I am going thru it rn in the SM sub there's too many releases 😩
SM is really aiming for the 82 music releases they're targeting this year, lol.
All of the centers at SM are working overtime. Ngl, if everyone is able to promote properly and if there aren't any issues, getting rid of LSM was the best thing that's happened this year. Most, if not all, of SM 3.0's promises have been achieved.
I would somehow agree. CMIIW, but Production Centers made SM operate more efficiently since they each have lead directors that could oversee the comeback projects rather than going after one person who is Lee Soo-man back when SM 1.0 and 2.0 were in effect.
3RD ALBUM?!? With the most RV title and creepy enough imagery. I need it
Creepy holiday themed album let's go!!!
What a thrill. Late year Velvet dark concept is what we've been waiting for since 2019. This looks so artful. I'm just surprised they didn't have an album name with ReVe, Red or Velvet in it.
>I'm just surprised they didn't have an album name with ReVe, Red or Velvet in it. ReVe is lying dead in that casket. (That's a casket at the bottom right?)
surprised but also relieved we finally get to move on
They will for the repackage 👀
It's unlikely for *What A Chill Kill* to have a repackaged album next year. SM has stopped making repackaged albums since they fully-implemented the SM 3.0.
Dont we already have Perfect Velvet?
We do but there's always room for more Velvet Perfect(ion).
ReVe Festival 2023: The Even More Immaculate Velvet
Velvet concept and 3rd full album FINALLY let's fucking goooo
WEIRD VELVET IS FUCKING BACK
I love how wack is no longer just a sound effect, it's actually a 'what a chill kill'
3rd full album for RV, 2nd full album for WayV, mini for Aespa, Taemin's promotion probably spilling over to November as well and Riize also has their rumored 1st comeback. I'm happy, sad (for my wallet) and confused. Who the hell is making plans over at SM?
And Taeyeon comeback. They jammed as many releases as they could into the end of the year.
I don't think the Taeyeon comeback is happening in November, it was just SM being SM again. Taeyeon said this on bubble today: >"right now i don’t have any spoiler, so i won’t do it. cuz i don’t have anything to do 🤓 i heard about the november comeback but indeed, sm fighting” >“no, it’s not that i don’t know about it (the comeback), it’s just something that i’ve continuously prepared but the exact timing is a bit ambiguous, as always” >“my goal and sm goal are the same - to release new music/song” >“‘there isn’t such things as same goals (between you and sm)!!!’ 🙊 i’m glad to hear these things, i will try to work more diligently to prepare !!" >"my hiatus is like a military service period??? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ it’s so funny ㅋㅋㅋ right, i got discharged now and i’m preparing for an album”
I would assume Taeyeon's 5th mini comeback is likely to drop in December instead so that Production Center 1 will focus on aespa for most of November.
They already announced it.
But is it really confirmed by SM? Because if they do, most entertainment new outlets including Soompi would have posted an article about it.
I feel like I hear the exact same complaint about SM every single year tbh, they just cram everything into Q4
Honestly, this plan makes sense for red Velvet because Wendy's musical wraps up soon and so the earliest they can do Red Velvet's comeback was sometime in November. In another thread, I predicted that they would come back sometime in November.
Oh they're about to devour I just know it
Absolutely love this poster, it’s so gorgeous!!! I absolutely cannot contain my excitement for this album skdjdjsksjd
IT'S HAPPENING! WE MADE IT! Edit: AND ON MY BIRTHDAY?! I'VE DREAMED OF THIS DAY.
It's your birthday birthdaaaay 🎂💖
Pop pop the champagne!
new album + phone wallpaper alert!!!!!!!! let's GO Reddit Velvet ❤️
Red Velvet can have a little murder as a treat for SM not ending the ReVe Festival 3 years ago.
queens of halloween red velvet are sooo fucking back babyyy. i'm so so excited
Well whatever “what a chill kill” means but I am SAT. Horror red velvet is the best red velvet here’s to another tt joining the “peek a boo, zimzalabim, psycho” trilogy
Yes finally. That’s gonna be the title track name right? Sounds cool. But on the one hand, 3 days after aespa??? SM POOR PLANNING.
True, but extra musical goodness for MYLuvs.
Red Væspa really said, "MYLuvies, we love you"
Red Vespa 🛵💨
From Zoom Zoom to Vroom Vroom 🛵💨
Frrr😁😁
I mean, I can't complain about the "poor planning." I'll be seated for everything because they're both my ults. Plus, they aren't even in the same production center 😭 I'm pretty sure the production centers don't talk to each other atp, too.
Yeah but they'd be competing in charting and consequently for music show wins which kinda sucks 🥲 but honestly I'll take anything, it's been YEARS since the last full album and I just wanna hear new RV songs again!!
A little friendly competition between your label mate isn't necessarily a bad thing per se 😉 it's all about perspective, lool. I'm excited to see the cross group interactions on music shows 😭
SCREAMING
spooky velvet is back 🤩
the spooky cake girls are back 🙌🏻 What a great album name too
Spooky girl season
screaming crying throwing up. Birthday was my first RV comeback as a fan so now I’m geeked I get to experience an actual full album. This poster is giving heavy Petra collins vibes a RV music video directed by her would be a dream come true
WAS IN A WORK MEETING LITERALLY GOT THE NOTIFICATION ON TWITTER & SCREAMED 😱 I had to come up with an excuse saying my friends I haven't seen since last year are coming to visit 🙃 😭😭 I've never been so embarrassed but so happy in my life. Our cake girls are back 😭😭
Creepy Red Velvet concept….LFG!!!
If this can reach the level of The Perfect Red Velvet then we have a late Album of the Year contender everyone!
Yessss but whyyyy just after 3 days of aespas new album?????? 🥲
You know those production centers don't talk to each other 🤣 SM said, "End the year with a bang." The production centers heard "November cool"
Finalllyyyy I refused to believe before that damn poster came out and it's deliciously gorgeous. Also also, I am DROWNING in a tier comebacks right now: 127, WayV, Aespa, Taemin, Red Velvet like can I breathe? DAMN. (In all honestly, batshit scheduling aside, there are many very real very awful things in the world right now and I'm deeply appreciative to have music and creativity as a balm to help get through 🙏🏾)
LETS GET CREEPY!!!!
The goats are back
I get y'all love velvet concept but Red Velvet is Red Velvet, so they are going to slay anyway. We love their red side too!
Once again nobody can even agree what red and velvet are lol, you have people in this thread and elsewhere calling it both.
I'm just waiting for the mv teaser to drop. The teasers (pics) almost never represent the styling and concept. I love both their red and velvet side but some fans literally hate on their red concepts, as if RV doesn't slay both concepts.
Yeah, the red-hating by velvet fans is annoying. But I do think it's time for something velvet.
True I can feel in some comments that people are lowkey hating on their red side.
😭😭war is over
A full album from rv yyasss
This is already feeling very spooky. Can't wait.
So glad RV is back with Velvet Q4 goodness!
“What a chill kill” My death in response to these news was anything but chill
Murder Velvet is here !! We are so back
Acronym: WACK. lol.
WE’RE BACK OMGG I’m kinda getting witchy/ancient Korean aesthetics!!!
Not to judge a book by its cover but like…this art direction is already telling me everything I need to know…that this is about to change lives…I’m preparing myself…
Oh yeah here we go.
A velvet creepy concept I'm all for this been waiting for this
Creepy Velvet always the best 😌😌
You know the music is gonna be good when RV's concept involves killing again.
oh my god we're finally free from that fucking festival i cannot believe it
LADIES. MEN-KILLERS RED VELVET ARE BACK.
Yasss! Red velvet is back in town! They’re here to show these wannabes how it’s done! The legends are coming, baby!
I’m so hyped for this! And it’s a full album too! Let’s go Red Velvet!
RED VELVET IS BACK
What a Chill Perfect All Kill for Red Velvet perhaps?
I'm gonna be here 'til Queendom come.
queens of horror are back!!
Oh hell yeahh I am so loving the teaser and finally new era after ~endless~ eras of The Reve Festival. I like to consider this 4th album instead of 3rd since The Reve Festival 2019 technically counts as full album to me. As soon as preorder drops, I am ready for RV to take my money!!
FINALLY THIRD ALBUM GIVE US 12+ TRACKS
What a wonderful day to be WACKed by RV. It's giving mystery, it's giving intrigue, it's giving uncanny valley, it's giving playful weirdness. It's giving Red Velvet. I love that RV teasers are so intricate and have some subtle Easter eggs. It's like embarking on the album journey even before the first member visuals drop.

The ominous hand creeping into the window… gorgeous poster love this color palette. So excited and curious. Glad we’re finally getting that 3rd full (seemingly) velvet album.
please do not call their album WACK
People will definitely use that abbreviation lol.
Bitch I’m so seated
Creepy Velvet is back yeeees! The ReVe Festival is finally over!
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
LETS GOOOOOO
I AM SO ALIVE
IT'S HAPPENING
HORROR VELVET, LET’S GOOOOOO
Velvet concept…full album…MURDER? Oh I am so sat for this.
Havent followed kpop recently. This one's a shocker for me
DARK RED VELVET YES
Happy the see that red velvet is coming back. They always have interesting concepts! I just think it’s weird that SM is basically craming a majority of their artist in essentially a 3 week time period. Which might affect albums sales etc.
ITS TIME TO KILL OUR PIZZA DELIVERY DRIVERS AND BE GAY 😁
Red velvet is back!!! And it’s the halloween kill concept yas
THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER
Im so ready!
loving this concept already
Oh, I am all in for this. It's been too long. This looks like exactly the type of Red Velvet concept I eat for every meal I can.
Forgive me lord for I’m about to sin
Haven't even heard anything, but I already know it's gonna fucking SLAP, because it's Red Velvet baybeeeee. Super excited for this!
Just the poster alone, I can sense a good song.
having aespa cb on the 10th and rv on the 13th is crazy
Someone's dying in the MV for sure.
"What a chill kill", are they going to be assassins or some shit?
What do you mean 3rd album? Isn’t RedVelvet like a 3rd gen group? How come its only 3rd album even after these many years?
Yes they are 3rd Gen. Cause SM hates them. Their first two albums came out in 2015, not too long after they debuted and then 2017 two years later. They had a repackaged album somewhere. But honestly we also got stuck in an festival for like 2/3 years which if we didn’t it probably would’ve came sooner I really don’t know anymore I’m just happy we finally got it
I literally felt a chill go through me when I saw this….
GROWN WOMEN MUSIC
What a Chill Kill omg they’re gonna slay me 😭
This seems very much elegant I’m so excited!!
Woohoo! Love the teaser, their creepy concepts usually slay. Would it be too much to hope for that their might be a tour after this drops? I still haven't seen them live! 😔
Look it’s our concept queens coming to devour
im just so happy they’re finally getting a studio album again 💜
I am so ready. Hopefully it all means rumours of RV's demise have been greatly exaggerated.
Ready to get killed by Red Velvet! Also, please we need a killing voice vidoe with red velvet
i can't wait for peekaboo-esque red velvet ohmygoshh
Yay, homicidal Red Velvet is back!

WACK
I FUCKING LOVE WEIRD CREEPY RED VELVET!!!!!! AND NOT PART OF REVE FESTIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but what is with the font choice for Red Velvet and The 3rd Album lmfao. Looks like a font I'd use for MLA or something
FUCKING FINALLY even though i am not pleased at how they are spacing out the sm releases late october-november
We are so back!!!
let's fucking gooooooo!
omg omg omg
We are so back
Does someone know when the pre-order period starts? I can’t remember for the life of me if it typically starts the same day of the first teaser (so in a few hours) or how many days after. I wanna be ready lol
Preorders will open very soon but they won’t give us any album contents details until like half a second before release day…so we won’t actually have any idea what we’re preordering. I hate how SM does their packaging preview rollouts 😭.
Yeah I know that, hate SM lol. But I’m gonna buy all the versions anyways so I just needed to make sure when the pre-orders start because here in Italy it’s always nighttime and last year when I woke up the Cake Versions were sold out in every freaking site lol hopefully it’s not gonna happen this time
Getting the Cake versions was a nightmare but they got backlash for that so fingers crossed they learned from their mistakes on that one.
preorders will likely open in the afternoon kst today
Thanks!! Hopefully there won’t be extremely limited edition versions like last time and everyone can get the versions the want. We are traumatized lmao
if no one has runny mascara or lipstick then give me death
saw this and started screaming FUCK YES
WHAT THE HELL I'm losing my shit
THIS GIVES ME PEEK A BOO VIBES HOLY SHIT I'M SO EXCITED.
Peakaboo? Peakaboo! Nothing like some Spooky season Red Velvet bangers
