After nearly nine years storming the industry, Red Velvet have become an enigmatic force of nature. A genre-busting group that fuses R&B, ballads, funk, and more with contemporary K-Pop - the members IRENE, SEULGI, WENDY, JOY and YERI are fully fledged chameleons. Their name, Red Velvet, echoes a similar varied thread, with ‘red’ encompassing the group's bright, bold and abstract side and ‘velvet’ building upon their mature, toned down and elegant side.

The release of their latest project and second installment, The ReVe Festival 2022 - Birthday, comes after the huge success of their first studio album in Japanese, Bloom, earlier this year. And along with an EP, it seems the group are ever expanding, with their dedicated fanbase, ReVeluv, at the heart of all of their creative pursuits. “We are looking forward to hearing what ReVeluv likes the most… it’s very rewarding to see their reactions when we come back with new albums,” they tell Glass in the winter issue.

It’s a valuable stance to take, grounding their focus away from the impressive hype that is building in the wider industry. Having received numerous accolades, most notably the Golden Dic New Art Award, the Korean Music Award for Best Pop Song, and the Mnet Asian Music Award for Best Female Group, their influence is evident. Having been recognized by Forbes Korea Power Celebrity for their international success, they were then named one of the most popular K-pop groups by Time and Billboard.

For Red Velvet, however, it is the message they are portraying to their audience that trumps against the industry noise.

It is this sincerity that makes us proud to reveal their digital cover as part of our Glass winter 2022 release. Their cover and feature can now be downloaded via our app, which is available via the app store or google play.
