Now trending on Weibo! It’s a bittersweet time for ReVeluvs around the world. Rumours are swirling that Red Velvet might be heading towards disbandment, leaving fans both shaken and confused.
The spark? A quiet yet curious change on the group’s official social media—now renamed “Happy Ending”. That was enough to set the internet ablaze with speculation.
The drama kicked off when fans noticed the sudden switch on their social handles. Many took “Happy Ending” as a not-so-subtle hint that this might be the group’s final chapter. Add to that the fact that their contracts are set to expire sometime in 2024, and you’ve got the perfect storm of online panic.
SM Entertainment didn’t waste much time, though. They shut the rumours down, saying the name change was purely tied to the concept of Red Velvet’s upcoming album. No mention of a disbandment. Still, the explanation hasn’t been enough to fully ease fans’ nerves.

Red Velvet—made up of Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, Joy, and Yeri—have been smashing it since their debut in 2014. Their mix of dreamy vocals and genre-bending tracks like “Psycho” and “Bad Boy” have earned them praise from critics and a strong, loyal fanbase. They’ve picked up a stack of awards along the way too, from the Melon Music Awards to Mnet’s and Gaon’s biggest honours.
From their early days as a four-piece to Yeri joining in 2015, the group has continuously evolved. Their music has never been boring, and their stage presence is second to none. That’s why so many fans are struggling to come to terms with the idea that this era could be coming to an end.
Since the rumours broke out, social media has been flooded with emotional posts. Some are in disbelief, others are trying to stay hopeful. Most fans are holding out for a miracle—a renewal, a reunion, or at least one last proper farewell.
There’s a shared understanding among ReVeluvs: even if Red Velvet goes their separate ways, each member has the talent to fly solo.
Fans are already pledging to support them as individuals, wherever their careers take them. Whether it’s acting, singing, or anything else, Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, Joy, and Yeri aren’t short on options.
But while there’s a glimmer of optimism, the mood is still heavy. The possibility of no more group comebacks, no more shared stages, no more cheeky behind-the-scenes content—it's a tough pill to swallow.

The name “Happy Ending” has only added to the mystery. Is it just a concept? Or a final bow? The ambiguity is driving everyone up the wall.
Even if Red Velvet does call it a day, their legacy is already set in stone. They’ve helped shape K-pop in their own unique way.
They were never just another girl group. They brought colour, class, and creativity to the table—and fans won’t forget that.
So, for now, all anyone can do is wait. Wait for a statement, wait for clarity, wait for one more song, maybe. Whether Red Velvet carries on as five or drifts into solo paths, the love from fans isn’t going anywhere.
Because if this really is a “Happy Ending”, then fans just want it to be on their terms, not because of a sudden rumour storm.
