Red Velvet is a South Korean girl group formed by SM Entertainment in 2014. They are known for their diverse musical spectrum, often exploring both upbeat pop and R&B-influenced ballads. Red Velvet's discography is characterized by its 'red' (vibrant, pop-focused) and 'velvet' (smooth, R&B-focused) duality, which has become a signature element of their identity. In early 2018, Red Velvet was at a career high following the success of their previous releases, including "Rookie" and "Peek-A-Boo," and were poised to continue their reign as one of K-pop's top girl groups.
