Red Velvet’s trio performance in Mexico sparks mixed reactions

Red Velvet’s trio performance in Mexico sparks mixed reactions

Red Velvet hit the stage in Mexico as a trio, and the internet had thoughts! With Wendy and Yeri exiting SM Entertainment in April, Irene, Seulgi, and Joy performed at SMTOWN Live as a three-member group for the first time. Fans were hyped for the iconic girl group, but the stage ended up being… let’s say, a little “messy,” according to some viewers.

Clips of their performance quickly started moving online. Some praised the trio for stepping up without two members, while others said the energy was low and the set lacked cohesion. Critics were quick to point out the girl group’s alleged tired expressions and lazy dance moves, taking shots at their “off vibes.”

Still, loyal fans defended the group, noting the sudden lineup change meant major adjustments on short notice. Reassigning lines and choreography isn’t exactly a walk in the park. Meanwhile, Wendy and Yeri are off to chase their solo projects since leaving their former company. The future of Red Velvet is officially on everyone’s radar, and not for the best reasons.
