Ever since their inception, both fans and non-fans alike have been clamoring for a special subunit between Red Velvet leader Irene and lead vocalist Seulgi, and it seems that finally, that wish is coming true.

Announced last June 21, Red Velvet and SM Entertainment officially revealed to awaiting fans that Irene and Seulgi will finally be getting not only their own subunit, but their very own mini-album titled “Monster” on July 6, 2020.

Based on the official mood sampler for the album, it’s going to be a sexy and mature affair, both in terms of the sound and the stunning visuals. More emphasis is put on the sexiness of the two idols, and it doesn’t help that fans have long shipped the two together—maybe that tension will be translated in some form in this upcoming release? 

Still no word if the other three members will be getting their own subunits or new singles this year, but we’re definitely hoping. Check out the official teaser on YouTube here:
