In Twitter, users voiced out that SM Entertainment is underestimating Red Velvet's worldwide popularity. With their upcoming "R to V" world tour nearby, most fans where excited to learn of the stops, locations, and venues that were assigned for the group.

However, when they saw the venues for Singapore, fans were enraged to learn that "The Star Theatre" only houses a capacity of 5,000 seats.

Luvies were shocked with the reveal, since the venue was also used when Red Velvet ventured for their second solo concert "REDMARE" in 2018.

In another note, fans exclaimed justice for Red Velvet, who is a 9-year-old group capable of selling out arenas with their solid fanbase.

Meanwhile, some ReVeluvs came to compromise. They insisted to SM that if they were going to receive a small theatre venue, they should also be given a two-day concert instead of one.

Others pointed out SM 3.0's responsibility for Red Velvet's mistreatment, hence, the small venue.

Read their comments below:

"SM 3.0 bulls**t. it's just bulls**t, in fact, RV is still being treated unfairly from 2018 to 2023, the agency still gives small venues."

"The concert date tours have 20M views yet you're giving Singapore Luvies with only 5k seats capacity? I'm not Singaporean ReVeluv but they deserve a bigger venue than this!"

"How is it the same venue as that 5 years ago?"

"That venue. You realize Malaysian ReVeluvs are gonna flock at Singapore's stop too right? Maybe you'll need a bigger venue to accommodate a big chunk of fans, who have been waiting for their world tour."

"I'm really sad after seeing the treatment from @SMTOWNGLOBAL to the RV. 9 years since debut, the 4th concert is still in a small venue."

"Give us two days of concert at least if it's gonna be at a small venue!"
