Set to drop on August 16, the band’s sixth EP comes a year and a half after their last release, December 2019’s LP The ReVe Festival: Finale fronted by the single Psycho.
Queendom was announced on Sunday, coinciding with the band’s anniversary celebrations. Ahead of its release, the members of Red Velvet were featured in a series of videos highlighting earlier songs from the band in a project dubbed “Queens Archive”.
Videos and related images were also released, themed around the idea of “Queens Mystic General Store”, and reintroduced content and characters featured in earlier Red Velvet music videos as an homage to the band’s career.
The band are back as a quintet after vocalist Wendy took a break after she was badly injured in a terrible accident during 2019’s year-end performance season in South Korea.
