One of the most exciting aspects of being a K-Pop fan is the unexpected surprises, whether it’s a sudden comeback or new projects from beloved artists.
Fans of SM Entertainment’s popular subunit, Red Velvet – Irene & Seulgi, are currently experiencing that exact thrill as the duo has been listed on SM’s official schedule for upcoming albums and concerts in 2025.

The surprise announcement has sparked massive excitement, especially since the duo has been relatively inactive in recent years. Last year, fans were thrilled when Irene and Seulgi revealed they would be working together again for a schedule after a long hiatus.

Since then, they have performed in various countries across Asia, treating audiences to their solo tracks “Like A Flower” and “28 Reasons” and their unit hits like “Monster” and “Naughty.”

However, this time, it’s not just another special stage or variety show appearance. Irene and Seulgi are officially set to make their highly anticipated comeback as a duo.

Their debut as a unit in July 2020 was a massive success, breaking multiple records with “Monster.” Now, five years later, they are finally preparing to release new music, with their comeback scheduled for the second quarter of 2025.
Seulgi is also preparing for her solo comeback, following Irene’s solo debut, which achieved significant milestones. With the duo’s return and the possibility of a full Red Velvet comeback later this year (fingers crossed!), it looks like SM Entertainment’s treasured duo is set for a busy and exciting 2025.
Fans are eagerly awaiting further details, and with such a packed schedule ahead, this year is shaping up to be a memorable one for both stars. Here’s everything else planned by SM Entertainment for the first half of 2025:
