[+217] I am quite surprised that they only have two albums when it feels like they've had a lot of comebacks

[+130] I'd say Red Velvet is pretty pampered compared to f(x)...

[+71] Wait, they really only have two albums in 10 years?

[+60] Is there a difference between an official and a mini-album, though? Other than the number of songs, does it really matter as long as they keep releasing good songs? Not really sure how this all works. 

[+44] Their fans are pretty shameless ㅋ SM has never been as supportive as their girl groups as they have been with Red Velvet. The group's the ones who flopped all their comebacks and showed embarrassing results on their tours, their fans must be crazy to be demanding more

[+40] Yeah, that's pretty neglectful. NCT Dream has three albums but Red Velvet only has two???

[+35] It's fair for fans to be upset that they don't have more official albums but Red Velvet has a lot of great songs already. I heard their song while walking down the street and looked it up to find 'Feel the Rhythm.' 

[+33] These fans are obsessive in their care

[+23] Fans are mad because they're so used to scapegoating Soo Man and now that he's left, they're still not getting what they want 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[+21] Fans are always protesting over the stupidest crap, how do they have so much money to waste? 

[+17] Honestly... wouldn't a 'particular' member be more to blame..?

[+15] They're at a point where the members can just focus on their individual activities while sharing updates on SNS once in a while... a truck protest isn't going to change anything

[+13] You guys need to go live in real life

[+10] It's not like they're bringing in any money?? Or have an especially popular member? Or a hit song that everyone would recognize as a hit? They're in an ambiguous position, no reason to continue investing in them

[+7] Winner debuted the same year as them and are pretty known for never having comebacks but even they still have three albums

[+7] It's their 10th anniversary soon, let's go third album~~~~

[+5] EXO fans sent five trucks to SM today too. SM's so focused on 3.0 or whatever that they're neglecting all of their artists. EXO, SuJu, TVXQ, Soshi, RV, SHINee

[+4] Well, Mamamoo only has two albums in 10 years too.... ㅠ

[+4] Whatever SM is going to allocate to Red Velvet is probably better spent on Aespa at this point 😂

[+1] Feels like the majority of K-Pop fans fail to recognize that in most cases like this, it's not the company blocking the artists from releasing more albums, it's that the artists have gained more years and are more vocal about not wanting to do this or that and having their opinion reflected more in these discussions. Fans can protest all they want and try to frame this as if Red Velvet is sooo desperate for a comeback but SM won't let them, but it's usually not the case. SM is smarter and has more experience than any of you. 

[+-] The only side winning in all of this are the trucker ajusshis
