Red Velvet, the kpop singers group known for switching between cute and cool styles, is back with a new surprise! Their upcoming mini-album "Cosmic" takes fans on a space adventure, and the first pictures hint at a spooky stay at the "Mysterious Hotel."
These photos, released before the album drops on June 24th, show a whole new side of Red Velvet . Gone are the bright and bubbly looks from their past albums. Instead, they're dressed like lonely sailors, and fans are buzzing with ideas about what it all means.
Ditching the Fun for Something Mysterious
Usually, Red Velvet's pictures are full of life and color. But the "Mysterious Hotel" photos are dark and mysterious. The girls look a bit scared, even though they're in a fancy hotel that's a little worn down. This creates a strange and exciting feeling.
Sailors with a Space Twist
The sailor outfits are an interesting choice. Girls wear white shirts, black pants, and sailor hats, but with a space twist. For example, Irene's captain hat has a crescent moon on it, and Seulgi's shirt has star pictures sewn on the collar. This mix of sailor stuff and space stuff makes fans wonder what the story behind "Cosmic" might be.
Each Member with a Clue
Every picture of a member adds another piece to the puzzle. Irene, the leader, looks focused and determined while holding an old diary in a dark room. Seulgi, known for her powerful dancing, has a mysterious look as she uses a telescope to look at the night sky. Wendy, the amazing singer, looks thoughtful in a blue light. Joy, the happy one, shows a hint of a smile holding a vintage key that seems important. Yeri, the youngest member, is full of curiosity as she looks out a window at the stars.
Guessing Wildly
These "Mysterious Hotel" photos have made Red Velvet's fans, called ReVeluvs, come up with all sorts of ideas. Could the hotel be a portal to another world? Are the girls lost and looking for answers? Maybe the sailor outfits mean they're on a journey to find themselves, and space represents how big life can be.
Red Velvet Queens of Changing Looks
Every time Red Velvet releases new music, they completely change their style. From the fun pop of "Red Flavor" to the dark beauty of "Psycho," they always surprise and impress their fans. The "Mysterious Hotel" concept is another exciting step for them, and fans can't wait to see and hear the full "Cosmic" experience.
More to Come
These "Mysterious Hotel" pictures are just a taste of what Red Velvet has planned for "Cosmic." As the release date gets closer, the audience is getting more and more excited. They want to see how the story unfolds in the rest of the pictures, the music videos, and the album itself. Will "Cosmic" be a space party or a spooky adventure? We'll just have to wait and see.
Red Velvet's space trip with "Cosmic" is just beginning, and the "Mysterious Hotel" is a cool invitation to join them. With their talent, creativity, and ever-changing style, Red Velvet promises a comeback that will be amazing!

Red  Velvet's "Cosmic" Did it miss the mark?
Red Velvet's new music video "Cosmic" has people talking online. Some fans love it, others aren't so sure. The video borrows a lot of ideas from the scary movie "Midsommar," which has sparked debate.
Midsummer's Shadow
The video is full of things from Midsommar, like flower crowns and maypole dancing. It also has a creepy feeling, just like the movie. This can be fun for people who like Midsommar, like finding hidden treasures in a video game. It also makes the video unique and unsettling.
But some people don't like it. They think the video just copies Midsommar's style without adding anything new. They feel like Red Velvet missed a chance to do something fresh.
Red Velvet's Story? Missing!
Another big complaint is that the video doesn't connect to Red Velvet's past music videos. In the past, their videos have been like chapters in a story, with references to each other. Fans expected "Cosmic" to be part of this story too, maybe using some Midsommar ideas in a new way for Red Velvet.
Instead, the video feels separate from their other work. This can leave fans confused, especially since it's their 10th anniversary!
Beyond Midsummer
Even though the video borrows a lot from Midsommar, it's still important to judge it on its own. Does the strange atmosphere fit the song "Cosmic"? Does the video tell a story and have cool visuals?
Here, opinions differ. Some might like the dark feeling because it goes with the song's mood. Others might have preferred a happier video to celebrate Red Velvet's 10 years.
Learning from "Cosmic"
The "Cosmic" music video shows us how to use references well. It's okay to get inspired by other things, but it's important to make it your own and fit it with your style. In the future, Red Velvet's videos could strike a balance: using small references while creating their own unique visual style.
In the end, whether you like "Cosmic" is up to you. Did it live up to the hype? Did the Midsommar stuff make the video better, or did it take away from the song? These are questions only you can answer.
KpopSingers Group Red Velvet:Â
Red Velvet's name reflects their duality: "Red" for their bold side and "Velvet" for their classy side. Their playful lightstick, "Kimmanbong," which translates to "kimchi dumpling," is a fun twist on their official name. Interestingly, Joy is the only member who wasn't part of SM Entertainment's pre-debut trainee team. Originally a four-member group, Yeri joined Red Velvet in 2015. Their debut music video for "Happiness" had a rocky start due to controversial imagery, but it was later re-released without the offensive content. Finally, their devoted fanbase is called "ReVeluv," a combination of "Red Velvet" and "love," with a hint of "level up" for good measure.
