ROSEMONT, Ill. – It was K-pop (South Korean pop music) magic time at Rosemont Theatre on April 29, 2018 as the girl group Red Velvet had a “fanmeet” with their admirers. Red Velvet (레드벨벳) debuted on Aug. 1, 2014 with their digital single “Happiness” and was formed by S.M. Entertainment by pairing four members: Irene, Seulgi, Wendy and Joy. In 2015, they added a fifth member, Yeri.
Since their debut, Red Velvet has climbed the ladder of success and has broken through in the U.S. Their first EP, “Ice Cream Cake,” topped the Gaon (South Korean) Album Chart in early 2015. Their first full-length album, “The Red” (2015), and the EPs “The Velvet,” “Russian Roulette” (both 2016) and “Rookie” (2017) all reached No. 1 on the Gaon Album Chart. The Rosemont event was hosted by SubKulture Entertainment.
