Quote from Popper-of-Ks

The dates when they were introduced are irrelevant. That doesn't tell us when they signed their contracts or when they expire.

Not one of these people are even remotely "close" with Irene. They've probably never even met her, and if any of them have, I guarantee she remembers none of their names. They are so-called "fans," nothing more. They need to learn their own boundaries and start respecting her wishes. And no one is interested in a "he said, she said" akgae war either. The artists in question, who are good friends and enjoy working with each other, would think they're all parasocial losers who need to mind their own business equally. They have no right to dictate the artist's career path. Besides, with RV's status currently in question, what exactly did they expect to see this year, if not an Irene & Seulgi comeback? Another Irene solo? Not a chance.

No it isn't. That's why some could tell when they were about to renew. Irene's delayed renewal even put her on a tight spot because an article was released framing her that if she doesn't renew then RV cannot comeback.

I'm an Irene fan and clearly she's not your bias. RV in general is dominated by Seulgi's subfandom and OT5 who don't want Irene to thrive. Irene Bar gave this letter to Irene back in 2022

“We love not only Irene in her full bloom, but we also love all the moments of Bae Joohyun who works hard for the flowers to bloom from the ground and silently sprouts again even if the flowers fall over time.”

Sounds familiar? Because that's LAF.

I'm tired. I just wanted to post the receipts because of OP's thread. Allkpop really hates Irene so bye.

We don't know how long it took anyone to renew. Their contracts could be staggered.

Irene's akgaes bitched about her being in a subunit because they're complete idiots with no respect for the will of the artist they claim to be fans of. She clearly enjoys working with Seulgi and the rest of RV. Luckily for them, the peformance on Irene's birthday got cancelled, so they don't have to watch her share the stage with anyone. Hooray.

You can't say they "tie Irene to the group" when she's already had a solo debut, starred in a movie and had quite a few solo brand deals.

We can always rely on you for quality shit takes. Why you would presume anyone to be "easy to control" is beyond me. Likewise, you have no idea what they would do if their situations were any different. I can tell you're not even a fan.

We have an idea about their renewal. Yeri's renewal is not the same year as the others. Just look at the dates when they were first introduced.

Irene Bar is close with Irene and has been with her up through ups and downs. It was Seulgi akgaes who insulted Irene before the subunit even happened.

seulgi e irene : amigas mais de 10 anos, dividiram a mesma cama, choraram juntas por n saberem se iriam debutar, amizade sincera e verdadeira akgae : A…

To this day they still insult her.

That's why Irene fans want to see her beyond the group.

Irene and Seulgi prolly the easiest one to control and the most profitable too out of the 5.

Wendy joy and yeri would've dip out of SM if they have enough power to be on the industry without redvelvet/SM tag on them.

Those 3 are obviously got the short end of stick in the group especially Yeri

Yeri and Irene (she has a recognizable face I think that's why people can't tell how little she got going on. Brand ambassadorship don't count because brands seek the artist, not the company). Wendy had two solos, was a judge for a TV show, had a collab with a BTS member, is an SBS DJ. She was also among the busiest idols of 2023.

I mean she's not a great actor. She has improved though.

Quote from FoReveries

Not sure what's happening here, I don't read Korean. But if a manager is forbidding Irene to have photos or props, then I think that manager or those managers if it's more than 1 are going too far: at this point the RV members have been in the business for more than 10 years, they're grown adults and some even in their '30s, they can decide for themselves what they want to do when and don't deserve to be treated as kids who're not allowed to have their own opinion and freedom.

As for the mistreating, I don't know if Irene is treated worse than the others or not. But seeing how she just had her solo debut and will have her sub-unit comeback with Seulgi in a few months, I'd say that she's getting proper attention and resources from the company.

If anything, I'd say that it's Joy and especially Yeri are being neglected or forgotten when it comes to personal opportunities and promotion.

Joy had already acted in dramas and had a packed schedule years ago. One of the reasons she wasn’t with Red Velvet in North Korea. Irene’s solo debut came after 10 years which is a long wait. She probably fought for better treatment during contract negotiations. Seulgi renewed immediately, while Irene took months. This is why her Chinese fans early this year sent a truck questioning why SM placed her in a unit after she had proven herself as a soloist. While it could be what Irene and Seulgi wanted, it does seem that SM consistently ties Irene to the group or a unit whereas her members don’t appear to be as restricted. In my opinion, Joy’s dramas didn’t leave much of an impact so when she returned to focus on the group, there was a noticeable gap. She has recently renewed so it will be interesting to see how SM supports her moving forward.

I know this is a two year old thread but I just wanted to reply with some receipts. When old fans say Irene is mistreated, they mean her specifically and not Red Velvet. While RV itself faces mistreatment, Irene experiences it even more.

"The list of Red Velvet career-long(until now) solo/collab projects

Whenever you saw Irene worked with brands, remember those brands sought her out because of her popularity, not because of SM. These brands are usually major names so SM couldn’t afford to miss out on the profits.

And now this
"Why Irene can't have photos or props in a fan meeting, but other members can?"
