SM keeps on blatantly ignoring Red Velvet and ReVeluvs are not happy

I don't get SM in general.

Once a group goes past the 5 years mark, it's like they stop paying attention to them, even when the group has a huge fandom

I think SM divided their staffs into centers but they didn't bother to hire more staff to make sure every position is filled within those centers.

Waiting for each member's contract to expire and leave SM 1 by 1.

Well when SM have to keep buying their own albums every comeback I'm not surprised they don't want to give em a comeback.

Red Velvet deserve so much better.

SM can't even hide their incompetence anymore.

ever since NCT debuted, EVERYTHING in SM went downhill

I'm not the biggest RV fan but it's terrible how they're being treated.

AKP was better when you were gone. Don't you have an Itzy song to stream?

Honestly makes RV more impressive, they keep recovering from everything and do amazing with their comebacks

Hopefully they will have a comeback with their velvet side this fall

SM is a master at phasing out older groups who have sorta declined and no future growth that would impact company. In the end, it's hard to say they weren't given any music and fans buy into this.

... and rightfully so

I don't understand how a group that is nearly a decade old only has 2 full albums in their catalog, the last one having been released in 2017 (!).

Since im waiting for the very first full album of a group thats over a decade old, this hurts a liddle.

I hope Red velvet get better treatment and we get new music soon.

I don't like how they do Red Velvet dirty. For example, JYP still gives Twice full attention even though they are considered past their prime as a group. If it weren't for those ugly contracts, only the trainees and groups on their 1st contract would be left in SM.

there were high hopes going into SM 3.0 right?

It feels like every time they have a comeback it's meant to be a quick cash grab with a bunch of songs taken from the shelf and randomly put together in a poorly assembled and rushed EP.

Their 9th anniversary is coming up (August 1st) and SM has nothing planned, as per usual. In fact, they have been radio silent about Red Velvet for some time now. After the rushed world tour which was a disaster in terms of promotion and preparation, full album plans getting delayed over and over again, very little content from the group uploaded on YT and minimal promotion when they have comebacks, it's very understandable that Reveluvs are very much over it.

It's so sad to see that a group who has a fandom which is eager to support them and hungry for content, and also members who WANT to release music and promote, keeps on being ignored by their own company. It's not like they are "has-beens". They are one of the most iconic kpop groups both domestically and internationally. FMR and Queendom were very solid hits in Korea and the girls are still very popular over there, despite the lack of activities.

I hope we are all wrong and that shortly news about their cb or anniversary event will come out, but I highly doubt it...

I haven't lost my hope, I'm still guessing that they will release their 3rd studio full album in the second half of this year. But Sm unfortunately promotes RV very badly. Even CB time they sending Red Velvet first week music shows, that's it. Nneither studio choom nor killing voice nor variety shows in the last 3 years we got nothing. Variety content is on their channels none exist. They only posts a vlog a year. Their induvial schedule also all because they got job their own succes. Birthday album reached 1 million album sales despite Sm. The Cake version only produced 5k. They lost the music show they were going to win for delaying Shipment. Not to mention the so-called world tour, they announced ticket sales a week before, whereas most companies announce it months in advance. Sm is doing their best to undermine and ignore their success, so you can see.

I'm curious about what your expecting them to announce for the anniversary?

Are you expecting a massive concert? Billboard campaign. Dancers twirling through the streets of Seoul with confetti announcing that RV will soon be 9 years old?

My major group's anniversaries are just a day of Live stream, usually only announced a few days beforehand. Hell one year it was simply one member streaming due to circumstances.

And they do this to their own groups they do not care idk what they actually want Or care for at this point
