Based on the trailer that was released, it seems like Seulgi’s concept will be closer to the darker themes of Red Velvet’s first subunit, Red Velvet – IRENE & SEULGI, which debuted in 2020.

Even idols outside of Seulgi’s group weren’t immune to her charms since, less than 12 hours later, TWICE‘s Jeongyeon also reacted to Seulgi’s post by liking it and commenting, “Is there anything you can’t do?”

Similar to Joy’s, her comment refers to how Seulgi is often called an “all-rounder,” meaning she doesn’t have any weaknesses in her performance abilities as an idol.

Although interactions between idol groups of different companies are rare, TWICE’s Jeongyeon had always shown a connection to Red Velvet’s Seulgi, like when she visited her show Seulgi.zip to promote TWICE’s song “Scientist” with her fellow member Jihyo.
Ever since the TWICE members opened personal Instagram accounts, fans have been on the lookout for their social media interactions with people outside of their group. This is a great sign that TWICE can more openly support their friends in the K-Pop industry!
