Red Velvet confirm full-group comeback for August

Red Velvet are set to return as a full group this August, with SM Entertainment confirming that the members are currently preparing a new album.

The comeback is planned for August 2026, although exact release details have not yet been announced. The agency asked fans to look forward to the upcoming release.

This will be the group’s first full-group comeback in around two years and two months, following their 10th-anniversary mini album Cosmic released in June 2024.

The release is also notable as their first group activity since some members moved to different agencies. Wendy and Yeri ended their exclusive contracts with SM Entertainment last year and are now signed elsewhere, while still participating in Red Velvet activities.

For European fans, this comeback marks an important moment, as it signals renewed group promotions and potential future schedules, possibly including international activities.

More details such as concept, tracklist, and promotions are expected in the coming weeks as the August release approaches.
