I absolutely adore Red Velvet: "Happiness" was a fun debut song, Ice Cream Cake showed a lot of potential for the group's future, and The Red is probably the strongest first studio album by any K-pop group so far. And this all made me slightly anxious for their next release: would they be able to live up to potential they've shown so far? Will the high benchmarks they've set so early in their career prove impossible to surpass?
