1. [+280] SM's routine is usually to retire their groups to individual activities once they get up there in years or have them do more international schedules... 😂

2. [+174] When Red Velvet was busy with 'Red Flavor' and 'Peekaboo', they were the only active girl group in SM at the time... so they were probably under a lot of pressure and worked more busily than usual.. ㅠㅠ

3. [+132] Red Velvet was under a lot more pressure than other girl groups because they were the only SM girl group at the time. They had an average of three comebacks a year along with a Japanese album or an SM Station release on top of concerts and tours and year-end stages. Then it's a new year with another three comebacks, rinse and repeat... They were also doing individual promos with Joy in a drama, so I can understand how difficult it must've been for them to handle it all. Whatever the case, I just want them all to be healthy and happy. This is the same for the other groups as well so I really wish SM would just focus on taking care of the groups that they already have.

4. [+45] For real... Oh My Girl only had three comebacks since 'Queendom'... 2020, 21, 22... and still only have one a year. Idols used to have so much more frequent comebacks around 2010.

5. [+86] But isn't this the same for all idols...? They're all super busy when they're popular and have as much as three comebacks a year but there reaches a point where even once a year becomes a lot eventually

6. [+26] Love you Red Velvet, fighting!! ❤️❤️

7. [+4] Dammit, SM..

8. [+1] 🥲
