1) Red Velvet (레드벨벳) is a five-member South Korean girl group formed by SM Entertainment in 2014. The group consists of Irene (아이린), Seulgi (슬기), Wendy (웬디), Joy (조이), and Yeri (예리). Their name is a play on their dual concept of "red" and "velvet;" the "red" half is their brighter and bubblier side, while their "velvet" image is their softer, more mature and elegant concept.
Debuting in 2014, Red Velvet was originally a four-member group. Three of the original four members of Red Velvet were previously part of S.M. Entertainment's pre-debut team, SM Rookies. Seulgi, the first member who joined the agency, was brought in through an audition in 2007. Irene, the next member to join the company, was cast in 2009. Joy, the member who wasn't part of SM Rookies, auditioned through the SM Global Audition in Seoul in 2012. As part of SM Rookies, several clips of Irene and Seulgi were released on S.M. Entertainment's official YouTube account. The three members were rumored to debut as a group in July 2014, which was then later confirmed by SM Entertainment. With the addition of member Joy, the four-member group would debut as Red Velvet - SM Entertainment's first girl group in five years, after f(x).
Red Velvet's debut single "행복 (Happiness)" was digitally released on August 4, 2014. The music video was released on August 1, and later become the second most viewed K-pop video worldwide in August 2014; on the same day, the group made their official debut stage on the music program Music Bank.
Red Velvet released their second digital single "Be Natural" on October 13, 2014. It is a remake of a song by veteran SM Entertainment girl group, S.E.S.. The track features Taeyong, former member of SM Rookies' male unit named SR14B, as well as a member of NCT. The group started their promotional activities for this release on October 9, making their first appearance on the music program, M! Countdown. The music video for the song was released on the same day.
On March 11, 2015, SM Entertainment released a video announcing the addition of a new member to the group's lineup—Yeri. On March 14, "Automatic," the group's first music video featuring Yeri, was released. The following day, they released their first mini-album "Ice Cream Cake", along with the music video for "Ice Cream Cake." It was also announced by S.M. Entertainment that both "Automatic" and "Ice Cream Cake" would be promoted as double lead singles of the album.
In early September 2015, S.M. Entertainment announced that the group would be making a comeback, and on September 9, 2015, Red Velvet released their first full length album "The Red". The album features ten tracks, including the title track, "Dumb Dumb." The album focuses on their "red" image, which is supposed to be the group's bright and bold side. On December 18, 2015, the group took part in S.M. Entertainment's special winter project, Winter Garden, alongside label-mates f(x) and BoA, releasing a digital single titled "세가지 소원 (Wish Tree)."
While promoting "The Red", it was hinted at by the members and S.M. Entertainment that there would be a follow up album, but nothing was confirmed at that time. In March 2016, it was announced that the group would make a comeback with the group's second mini album. "The Velvet" was released on March 17, 2016 as a direct follow up to their first album "The Red". While "The Red' focuses on the "red" half of the group's image, "The Velvet' focuses on the group's smooth and soft "velvet" image. The title track, "7월 7일 (One Of These Nights)," is described as an R&B ballad. On March 27, 2016, the group performed the track on music show Inkigayo.
On September 7, 2016, Red Velvet released their third mini-album "Russian Roulette". The mini album features seven tracks, including the title track of the same name, "러시안 룰렛 (Russian Roulette)". On September 13, 2016, Red Velvet took their first music show win for "Russian Roulette" on The Show. The title track peaked at #2 on the Gaon Digital Chart and Billboard's World Digital Songs chart, making it their highest rankings on both charts at the time. On January 27, 2018, the music video for "Russian Roulette" became the group's first music video to reach 100 million views.
A few months later in January of 2017, it was announced that the group would be releasing new music in February. The group's fourth mini-album "Rookie" was released on February 1, 2017. The mini-album contains six tracks, including the title track of the same name, "Rookie" and "마지막 사랑 (Last Love)," a solo track by group member Wendy.
On July 9, 2017, Red Velvet released their fifth mini-album "The Red Summer". The mini-album features five tracks, including lead track "Red Flavor." The album was a commercial success, becoming their third #1 win, which made them the K-pop girl group with the most #1 albums on a chart. All five tracks on the mini album debuted in the Top 50 of the Gaon Digital Chart.
Red Velvet revisited their "velvet" image by releasing their second full-length album "Perfect Velvet" on November 17, 2017 with the lead single "Peek-a-Boo." "Peek-a-Boo" peaked at #2 on Billboard's World Digital Songs chart. In South Korea, the album and the single "Peek-a-Boo" both charted at #2 on the Gaon Album Chart and Gaon Digital Chart. Through the release of Rookie, The Red Summer and Perfect Velvet all in the same year and the success of their albums overseas, Red Velvet achieved a "top girl group" status in South Korea in 2017. On January 29, 2018, Red Velvet released a repackage of their previous album titled "The Perfect Red Velvet", consisting of three new songs, including title track "Bad Boy." This was meant to be the most "velvet" track Red Velvet had ever put out.
On March 20, 2018, it was announced that Red Velvet would be performing alongside other selected South Korean artists for an inter-Korean concert in Pyongyang, North Korea. This makes them the first artist from SM Entertainment in fifteen years since Shinhwa to perform in North Korea. On May 23, it was revealed that their debut Japanese extended play is titled "#Cookie Jar". It was released on July 4, 2018 by the label Avex Trax, and included six new songs including the Japanese versions of "Dumb Dumb," "Russian Roulette," and "Red Flavor." The new songs consist of "#Cookie Jar," the title track, "Aitai-tai," and "Cause It’s You." The extended play debuted at #3 on the Oricon Weekly Albums chart and sold 26,124 copies on its first week of release in Japan.
On July 19, 2018, Red Velvet announced they would be making a comeback soon and had already filmed their music video outdoors in Gyeonggi-do. Excitement was stirred after the announcement of an English language version of previous single "Bad Boy." The songs from the new album were performed during Red Velvet's concert Redmare. They released their sixth extended play "Summer Magic" on August 6, 2018. The extended play contained seven tracks, including the title track "Power Up" and a bonus track of their popular song "Bad Boy" recorded in English. The album peaked at #1 on the Gaon Album Chart.
After the release of "Summer Magic", news about Red Velvet's upcoming comeback circulated in October 2018, which SM Entertainment responded to by confirming a November comeback. SM Entertainment later revealed the details of the extended play along with the title of the lead single: "RBB (Really Bad Boy)." They also teased an English version of the title track to be added as a bonus track. RBB was released on November 30 as their seventh Korean extended play overall.
On January 6, 2019, Red Velvet released their first Japanese digital single, titled "Sappy." The group released another Japanese single, "Sayonara," on February 20. Both singles are included in their second Japanese EP, "Sappy", which was released on May 29; the EP also includes Japanese versions of "Peek-a-Boo," "Rookie," and "Power Up," as well as a new song called "Swimming Pool."
In February, Red Velvet embarked on the North American leg of their Redmare Tour. They went on to hold shows in Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami, Chicago, and Newark in the United States and Toronto and Vancouver in Canada, becoming the first K-pop girl group to hold a North American tour in three years.
On April 5, Red Velvet were featured in a remixed version of "Close to Me" by Ellie Goulding and Diplo, with Yeri and Wendy contributing Korean lyrics to the song.
On June 19, Red Velvet released their sixth Korean EP, titled "The ReVe Festival: Day 1", which topped the Gaon Album Chart and features the lead single "Zimzalabim." It is the first entry of The ReVe Festival trilogy. The group's seventh Korean EP, The ReVe Festival: Day 2 and its lead single "Umpah Umpah" arrived on August 20. The summery single received a Song of the Year Daesang (Grand Prize) at the 2019 Asia Artist Awards on November 26. To promote The ReVe Festival, the group embarked on their third tour, La Rouge, which began in Seoul on November 23 and 24. The third and final entry of the trilogy, "The ReVe Festival: Finale" was a compilation of the previous two EPs and contained four new songs, including the chart-topping lead single "Psycho." This would be the group's latest comeback for over a year.
On July 6, 2020, the group's first sub-unit was formed. Red Velvet - Irene & Seulgi released their first mini album with "Monster" as the title track. The album also featured a solo song for the group's lead vocalist, Seulgi. On July 19, they dropped a single titled "Naughty." It was remixed soon afterwards.
On January 1, 2021, their company, SM Entertainment, hosted the Culture Humanity free online concert featuring many of their artists. Red Velvet returned as five after the member Wendy had been on hiatus for a year because of injuries and Irene had been absent for weeks due to controversy. The group preformed songs including "Peek-a-Boo" and "Bad Boy." The long-anticipated five-member performance of their hit track "Psycho" was also performed.
Before the group returned as five, Wendy was announced to be debuting as a solo artist. On April 5, 2021, "Like Water" was released, which included two lead singles: "Like Water" and "When This Rain Stops."
Member Joy also debuted as a solo artist with a title track and remake album titled "Hello". It released on May 31, 2021.
The five-member group's long-anticipated 6th mini-album "Queendom" was released on August 17, 2021. The title track "Queendom" was described as "a pop dance song with the message that we are all 'queens' of our lives, and that together we shine more beautifully."
Their first release of 2022, "Feel My Rhythm," was released on March 21, marking the return of The ReVe Festival. The mini album consisted of 6 songs, the title track sampling "Aria on the G String." The song effortlessly mixes elegant classical music with a modern, upbeat pop sound.
As the third member of the group to debut solo, Seulgi released her first EP "28 Reasons," on October 4, 2022, alongside the title track of the same name.
The group has been endlessly praised for their diverse concepts and uniqueness. In November 2019, Billboard crowned Red Velvet as "the best idol group alive." The group has now surpassed their seventh anniversary, and Red Velvet continues to captivate and gain recognition domestically and around the world from their fans, ReVeluv (레벨업), as well as casual listeners alike.

3) Red Velvet was a short-lived future funk project by Chicago-based producer Escape, created as an attempt to make future funk with modern songs. Only two tracks were released under this alias: Smooth (sampling Bruno Mars - Chunky) and Sledgehammer (sampling Fifth Harmony - Sledgehammer).

When I'm with you
The lyrics to Red Velvet's "With You" describe the beauty and happiness the singer feels when spending time with someone special. The opening lines paint a picturesque scene of the two of them together on white sandy beaches, as if surrounded by snow. The singer likens themselves to Rudolph due to their reddened nose from the sun, emphasizing the carefree and joyful atmosphere. The chorus repeats the sentiment that being with this person feels like Christmas in the middle of summer and brings with it a sense of anticipation and excitement.
The second verse of the song continues with the theme of the couple's strong connection and the sense of fun and adventure they feel together. The singer describes the rush of emotions that they experience when they spend time with this person and how it makes them feel like they are on a yacht floating above the waves. The sound of festive bells in their head adds to the holiday feeling of their relationship, and even the distant sight of a red lighthouse fills them with a sense of wonder and the desire to make a wish.
The final verse of the song brings the lyrics back to the fundamental theme of the joy that this person brings to the singer's life. They describe the moments of intimacy that feel like a dream, and the way that being around the person makes them feel like they are constantly receiving unexpected gifts. The song ends with a charming touch, as the singer asks for their wish to be granted not just this summer but in all the summers to come.
