Red Velvet is returning with the concept of becoming a ballerina in a fairy tale.

On March 8, on Red Velvet's official SNS, a teaser photo was posted along with the sentence "Red Velvet 'The ReVe Festival 2022 - Feel My Rhythm' 2022.3.21".

In the published photo, Red Velvet members wearing ballet suits are each standing on a low podium and posing.

The members wearing white skirts and ballet suits with pink accents made it feel as if they were in a fairy tale.

Earlier, Red Velvet announced their comeback on March 21, announcing the schedule to open various content related to the album, such as schedule posters. 

This album's 'The ReVe Festival 2022' is Red Velvet's own music festival, named after 'ReVe', which is an abbreviation for Red Velvet and means 'dream' or 'fantasy' in French.

Red Velvet, which has been recognized as a representative summer runner by hitting several 'summer songs' such as 'Red Flavor', 'Umpah Umpah', and 'Power Up', is exciting fans by releasing new songs aimed at the warming spring. With this, Red Velvet is making a comeback after about 8 months following the album 'Queendom' released on August 20 last year.

A representative from the agency also said, "Please look forward to what Red Velvet will show through this album, which has proven a wide range of music spectrum and concept digest through group as well as solo and unit activities."

Meanwhile, before their comeback, Red Velvet will hold a special live performance '2022 The ReVe Festival: Prologue' at the SK Handball Stadium in Seoul Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul on March 19-20 of this month and meet with fans.

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
