SM, What's up with Red Velvet lately? (1 Viewer)

[Mayday]

I'm sorry, but I haven't the slightest clue as to why SM isn't actually trying to seem professional here. I have a few points that I'm going to discuss, as they are main points that can really affect Red Velvet as a group, and the fans.

Firstly, the outfits. What is going on with Red Velvet's outfits lately? I watched a video recently that pointed out what we've all realized; Red Velvet always seem to look like they are going to different events. What's up with this? Bad Boy's outfits were good. Power Up's outfits were okay, but still coordinating. RBB was just...interesting. They seemed to either have an amazing look, or a horrible one. It's pretty odd, actually. Their outfits are not only ugly, but seem to be very uncomfortable. You have one member completely different from the rest. And as Youtube channel redvelvetsus posted, when they do match, why is Joy always different. As they stated, though Joy is taller, it is undoubtedly not that difficult to make them match.

View Joy's skirt. It looks odd, and is rather obvious. Wendy's boots don't seem to match at all either. Do the stylists not try to coordinate the outfits? Don't misunderstand me, I understand it's a difficult job. But the past outfits were not as bad, so what's up with it now? It doesn't help Red Velvet either, when you put them in outfits like this.

Spoiler: Red Carpet Looks

This one is okay, but they don't match in the slightest.

My second point would be their green screen job. This one is just weird tbh. SM is one of the biggest companies in South Korea, and they can't afford a better editor and a proper green screen? It's incredibly unprofessional and just sad.

What even is this one (Sappy)? This one is painfully obvious. I noticed it as the first thing I saw when I watched the Sappy teaser. The lighting is different, the coloring isn't correct, and so much is wrong with this.

Probably an Amino edit.

This one isn't as bad, but the coloring is off, yet again.


Also, can you promote RV in the U.S? Their Velvet concepts would become rather popular (Bad Boy, Peek-A-Boo).

They don't deserve this.

What are your thoughts?

I agree, SM is getting sloppy, no surprises

The Sappy one actually has me deceased lmaoo

Come on. Even I could do better.

IDK what it is but all the big 3 GG coordis need some work. I've noticed with SNSD, FX and RV, their coordis always have members they really hate
But SM really tries so hard to push Joy as a sex icon to the point where it's really too much. They're putting her in clothes so tight she can barely move

And Red velvet was starting to have better outfits, its starting to be a problem again...

I always think their mvs look too cheap too.

A mv with camera effects and stuff once in a while wouldnt be bad.

Right? Bad Boy and RBB were high class. Sappy was a major downgrade. Like I mentioned before, the green screen really pains me. No one else ever seems to notice?

i dont think its that bad. i actually loved irenes fluffly look they were going for. the only one im complaining about is joy cause she's the tallest member yet sm puts her in this longass dress that looks so out of place with the other members and when she dances, its just cringe.

this i agree with, although its mainly the fans' fault for always sexualizing her. she could be just standing there and the comments are full of how sexy she is/turning them on or how she made them gay. sm is just following what the public wants to see. but the dresses arent even sexy? like they look so weird to me.

i think that was the point with sappy tho. its supposed to look messy and out of place with the whole dreamy aesthetic they were going for, same with dumb dumb.

idk i dont get why group members always have to match? As long as the outfits arent ugly lol. That irene shirt tho.... And I didnt mind the green screen job in dumbdumb but in sappy it wasnt that great

from a business perspective, bgs does sell well. sm never cares about charts, its cash they're looking for. if an investment doesn't sell well, it makes sense to make another one. snsd with jessica, sulli and fx, rv's tendency to abruptly change concepts kinda hindered their popularity while tvxq is still selling out concerts.

By match, I don't mean color-wise or style-wise. I just believe that the outfits should look good togtyher and coordinate, which these don't do for me.

my point exactly. i feel like kpop stans are so spoiled/used to everything being in order/perfect, that if something changes a little they just start judging even tho they complain about how companies always demand idols to be perfect. theyre just trying to meet your expectations, thats all.

The point of this thread was to encourage discussion on where Red Velvet's staff needs to improve, by personal standards. Not how idols need to be perfect. Nor am I judging, just analyzing and stating an opinion.

If u werent then u should know that i wasnt targeting u. my opinion just in general that maybe instead of blaming the stylists and the staff, accept that not everything is always going to be color coordinated or perfectly edited once in a while. i apologize if it sounded like an attack but thats just how i personally feel. we just overanalyze things a lot when there are groups out there with much worse managements besides clothing and mv aesthetics.

Not a problem.

I can agree with the last part.

but i do agree that the outfits rbb era was generally very weak. i think sm kinda gave up after the song didnt do well and they were focused more on the tour. hopefully we will get a better cb this summer.

I hope so! Red Velvet is spoiling us with content the year. Wonder if we're getting a full album?

I like them having individual outfits. as for the crappy mvs... sm hates ggs

Red Velvet has challenges from a style stand point.
Yeri is really high waist-ed that tends to really wreck havoc.
They are so short.
sm wants Irene and Joy in the tight outfits by and large and they cannot seem to get comfortable ones for them. Irene's rainbow or the red one.
Joy kinda needs to be on the end because Irene is the center.
Say the power up out fit i think the skirt is the same length for each Joy is just that much taller.

Also Sm is similar to lucas film in a way they just do not care about stuff. At least we get content and the product does not suck like the star wars films.
