K-Pop Pick Of The Day: Red Flavor

Yes, a South Korean girl group performed in front of Kim Jong Un and his North Korean cadres over the weekend. At least they listened to a bop?

Red Velvet debuted in 2014 from SM Entertainment. They originally started off with four members, with Yeri being added a year later. Happiness, their first release, is probably most notable for its ill-fated music video, which was hurriedly edited after eagle-eyed viewers noticed... um... a 9/11 reference. (Really.)

Thankfully, Red Velvet has had clear sailing since then, releasing a bevy of diverse title tracks that toe the line between relentlessly cheerful and melancholic art house.
