The group Red Velvet - Irene & Seulgi (affiliated with SME) is returning as an evolved unit.
Red Velvet - Irene & Seulgi will release their second mini album 'TILT' on the 26th. As this marks the unit's return after about 5 years since the release of their first mini album 'Monster' in July 2020, there is great interest in Irene & Seulgi, and we look into the reasons why this album is highly anticipated.
# Group, solo, and unit... showing the evolution of Irene & Seulgi!
Irene & Seulgi successfully wrapped up their album 'Cosmic' release and an Asian fan-con tour in celebration of Red Velvet's 10th anniversary last year, and they have since made significant strides in their individual activities. Irene expanded her potential as a solo artist with her first solo album 'Like A Flower' in November 2024, while Seulgi also confirmed her outstanding capabilities as an all-rounder with her second mini album 'Accidentally On Purpose' in March 2025.
Based on the diverse activities they've built by transitioning between group and solo, Irene & Seulgi will showcase their deepened proficiency and synergy through this album. Particularly, after firmly establishing their strong unit presence with songs like 'Monster' and 'Naughty,' Irene & Seulgi are expected to present an evolved musical world and narrative in 'TILT,' solidifying the identity of the 'perfect unit.'
# High-end from music to visuals... shining even more as we shake!
'TILT' is an album containing the message that we shine even more as we shake, breaking conventional molds and reversing perspectives, seamlessly incorporating the high-end mood that only Irene & Seulgi can deliver, from the music to the concept and visuals.
This album features the title song 'TILT,' which expresses a relationship of growing together through our own balance rather than a competition of wins and losses, along with various tracks such as 'What's Your Problem?' 'Irresistible,' 'Girl Next Door,' 'Trampoline,' and 'Heaven,' which intricately portray diverse stories and relationships. The highlight medley clip was released on the 20th, garnering explosive reactions from listeners and hinting at the birth of a well-made album.
Before the full-scale teasing, Irene & Seulgi's profile opened on Red Velvet's official social media, along with short-form content 'What's In My Bag,' highlighting their individual personalities and characters, raising curiosity about this concept. Teaser content released subsequently has captured the two members' refined visuals and unique atmosphere, further elevating the excitement surrounding their comeback.
# Holding the first solo concert tour... showcasing the full stage of the new album!
Irene & Seulgi will hold their first solo concert tour '2025 IRENE & SEULGI Concert Tour [BALANCE] in ASIA' following the album release, performing all six tracks from the new album and demonstrating their perfect balance.
Additionally, after the Seoul performance at Olympic Hall in Olympic Park on June 14-15, Irene & Seulgi plan to continue their tour in seven regions across Asia, including Singapore, Macau, Bangkok in July, Taipei in August, and Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo in September, proving their global power and presence as a unit.
Irene & Seulgi's second mini album 'TILT' will be available for listening on various music sites starting from 6 p.m. on the 26th.
