Anyone else feel like "Queendom" came and went?

thank god, i thought i was the only one

Quote from jdpm12021991

the whole MV was low budget sounded like a title a rookie gg would release

all i can say is that i saw people saying it's better than "Psycho"....

I kind of agree with you the anticipation for the comeback and the teasers they released for the archive had more hype then Queendom, a lot expected something huge from them it's the first comeback after the massive success of Psycho and the return of both Wendy and Irene but the hype quickly died out after the release of this song, maybe the group will comeback with something better

It is better than Psycho though Psycho was ok but boring

Not much sm can do to RV with irene still there

just like the teasers - Queendom closed - something "new" is coming

I agree.

At first, I didn't like Queendom I got bored of it, but I'm liking it now.

But yeah, 2 years for this?

I think that was the plan as Queendom was a epilogue I think their next comeback will be bold

i guess it's because of the music

like the album and the tt weren't bad but not ground breaking, impactful or interesting enough to keep everyone talking

like for example people couldn't shut up about zzb or psycho for months since one was very weird and strange and the other was so perfect, same for the b-sides, the reve festival in general has some of the best b-sides rv ever released

on allkpop? fuck yes

most reveluv switch their fave to aespa

and i understand why theres not much thread about them despite their first comeback in more than year...

because loyal reveluv become lazy to make new thread (including me). i mean whats the purpose of making them if only 3-4 reveluv that hyping the thread

but twitter is still crowded with red velvet

Expectations and hype during teasers were too high. People thought the cb was going to feel unique, it was just a standard cute concept with Steven Universe inspired sound

The thing is RV doesn’t have that much time left for a “wait, they’ll come back with something better next”. Two more years of heir contract extension will go by fast. Aespa is the priority now and despite the members being happy to work together they know their solo careers are more important now.

Honestly, It's not Red Velvet's fault, I've feeling it with K-pop as a whole this year, with a few exceptions.

I was underwhelmed by it. Maybe they wanted something low pressure for the comeback.

Agreed I don't know also why they decided to release a mini album since its been two years plus they seem not to be promoting on variety shows and just doing music shows? Seems kinda lazy promotion to me tbh

It was kinda weak tbh. The teasers, the concept, the song. I mean none was objectively bad, but after so much expectation it was underwhelming. The styling and performances were top tier tho, especially for the last stage. Im just glad theyre back.

..I don't even consider it an "era", just an album. Perhaps SME will do a repack. All this time, I thought SME would have polished it up more instead of freezing it for all this time then just "thawing it out" later.

Something I think was so badly missing from the current batch of songs were the group's signature harmonies. I can't mentally recall memorable harmonies from this album compared to some of their previous singles and catalog album cut songs.

Wait I thought I'm the only one who thought that. Queendom is a bop, but it gets boring and fades. If they released a Red track like Red Flavor or Russian Roulette, it would have been much better.

I was so hyped about Queendom but it was kind of a disappointment.

Ya kinda the hype died too soon

that was me :shyy:

It was ok but the hype's not gone have you seen the charts

really???

different strokes for different folks I guess

Is it over? I honestly felt like they just announced it a few days ago. Did the days past that quickly or did they literally make zero impact?

It felt dull...

True, it's charting very strong right now. Korean GP loves it. Many people expected it to fall out of Top 100 Melon but this song is hanging strong at #7.

Quote from SeniorKpopper

i really like the song but yeah i agree

Me too

queendom cult unite!!!

I really love the song Queendom a lot. Maybe it does sound like something Iz*one would release, thats why i like it

I agree that the comeback feelz uneventful maybe because they only promote on music shows and doesnt do much outside of it. Still wise to stay low due to irene gate

No one was expecting that lol

felt like a debut song with the member names in the MV and all that

good song. but, (for me) queendom just felt flat compared to psycho, bad boy, etc.

It felt like a filler era, hopefully there's another release with a bigger budget next time

the comeback is forgettable

It was a bit underwhelming if I must admit. I love red velvet, but the song just really isn’t my style. But people are saying that it was just a filler era, so maybe we’ll get something else! < 3

Yeah I was expecting much more and there's no too much buzz around the song

Jeez I actually love queendom. It’s charting good, has amazing sales, a tiktok trend and music show wins. I can’t believe some people are calling it unimpactful when it’s actually very succesfull. The only thing I agree with is the lack of other content like variety shows. That I understand people are disappointed with.

I loved this comeback
