One of the things I love the most with comebacks is the abundance of content that you're flooded with, performances, special show appearances, behind-the-scenes videos, interviews and more - up to the point that it's hard to keep track of it all.
This Red Velvet comeback isn't anything different, so I made a compilation in case people were curious and wanted to browse and check up on stuff they've missed.
Let's start with the Live Countdown to the comeback:
Killing Voice and Lee Mujin Service: a blissful dive into a cloud of songs
Followed up by their awe inspiring, truly divine Killing Voice attendance (finally!) as a full group, a full 33 minute experience:
Twenty songs, a mix of title tracks and b-sides makes this not only interesting for Reveluv but also for other K-pop fans. This is a great introduction in the best possible way to Red Velvet's discography: the harmony, the adlibs, the energy and excitement. It's banger after banger, the RV girls made even songs like Zimzalabim sound infectious repeatables.
I could've easily listened to several hours of this. But for those who wanted more, there's an extra treat in Wendy's visit to Lee Mujin's Service show. Her interpretation of Chill Kill and her astonishing cover of Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing already make it a must-watch:
I like some reaction videos because the reactors can add additional viewpoints and depths due to their expertise. For those interested, check the one in the quote below

I like how this vocal coach, after hearing Wendy sing Whitney Houston, said she experienced a 'rush. Not a sugar rush, but a Wendy rush' I know that feeling
She also reacted to RV's Killing Voice performance
Those weren't the only special show appearances, there's also a hilarious show where Joy and Billlie's Tsuki meet
Music shows: performances, interviews and encore
And of course, let's not forget the music show attendances and performances they've done so far. I love the variety in styling and outfits. While Wendy has me completely floored once again with her glow and glamour in the performances, I noticed that the other girls really shine as well and have their moments where they rule the screen.
The other show performances as well as their encore performance are in the quote below

And the encore after their win
Oh, I'd almost forget it, here's also the pre-performance interview shorts
Production diaries
What I also appreciate are the many behind-the-scenes production diaries that have been released, especially the RV recording videos which are always great to watch

There were also some radio shows they attended but unfortunately, they weren't subbed (yet) so I haven't included them here.
I did find some other recent content, which you can check out below

Here's an interview video they did with Sohu Korea
Another one with Seulgi and Irene
Here's Seulgi at a variety show
And I had to include this one, because MBC who made a compilation of all RV's performances at their show were so nice to use a 'Wendy For All Seasons' screenshot as intro thumbnail

Alright, that's it!
While I made this compilation post and rewatched some it again, I found myself realising that Red Velvet's vocal performances made me appreciate many of their songs to a higher level than I'd expected, better than the recorded versions. It's not just that they sound better: their harmonies, adlibs, their energy and sheer joy that they radiate - they really love performing and singing on stage, and they show it, they shine with it.
I'd have expected that choreo and MV add extra richness and flavor to the song. But no, with Red Velvet it's their vocal performances. I could easily watch hours long shows of them doing that.
