Red Velvet Earns Favorable Reviews for 'Killing Voice' Performance

Red Velvet is not "Vocal Queen" for nothing!

On November 14, the official YouTube channel of Dingo Music unveiled the new episode of "Killing Voice" featuring Red Velvet!

To commemorate the release of their third full-length album, "Chill Kill," on November 13, the quintet revisited their past hits and performed a 2023 live version of each song.

In the video released that day, Red Velvet members opened the "Killing Voice" by singing their debut song, "Happiness," released in 2014.

During the performance, Wendy perfectly slayed the song's killing part by effortlessly reaching the high notes of the line, "Shine on me (Let it shine on me)."

The other members including Seulgi, Joy, Irene and Yeri also showed their vocal prowess by flaunting an impressive medley of songs, such as "Dumb Dumb," "Ice Cream Cake," "Russian Roulette" Zimzalabim," Carpool," "Queendom," "Red Flavor," "Peek-a-boo," "Bad Boy," "Pyscho," and many more, which ran for more than 30 minutes.

Upon its release, it surpassed 2.1 million views, and enthusiastic responses are pouring in from internet users and K-pop fans, especially from ReVeluvs (fandom).

• "Wendy is really cool, she's a top-tier female vocalist and does even better in musicals."
• "The unique concept, songs and vocals are good, but groups like Red Velvet are rare, so it would be a shame if they disbanded later."
• "I just watched it. It really killed me. I love each of their songs."
• "They all did well. It really gave me goosebumps. The new song is really good. It's just like a CD = live."

• "SM's vocal harmony is really crazy. It's easy to listen to even when everyone sings together, it's just really good."
• "I feel like I'm watching a concert."
• "Everyone was so talented that they weren't nervous and killed their parts well, which is also fundamental."
• "Everyone was so good. They sound even better when they sing live."
• "It's the perfect standard of SM. Clean vocals and a clear singing style. I guess this is why I'm a fan."

Red Velvet Irene Shocks With Pretty Voice

While all members were indeed gifted with top-notch vocals, netizens and K-pop fans were particularly shocked by Irene's voice.

Initially, the group's leader was often recognized for her beauty as Red Velvet's main visuals, but eventually, netters acknowledged her talent in dancing and singing.

Despite this, there are strong opinions claiming that Irene still lacks in the area of singing, compared to Wendy, Seulgi and Joy.

But following her performance for "Killing Voice," Irene erased doubts about her vocal skills and stood out for her pretty voice that can reach even the high notes.

• "I trust Wendy and Seulgi, but Irene's voice is better than what I expected and I'm surprised she sings well. She doesn't sing mediocre, but she did really well."
• "Wendy and Seulgi are really good, but surprised, Irene also has a pretty voice."
• "I was so touched by Irene. I didn't expect much from her, but she did really well."
• "I was surprised that Yeri and Irene performed better than I expected, especially Irene. But, Wendy, Seulgi and Joy are queens. "
• "Irene's vocals are so well done."
