Their brand new mini-album will also feature upbeat tracks titled "Hot Girls Cold Vibe", composed by hitmaker KENZIE, alongside lush, cinematic B-side tracks like "Orchestra". Both are set to deliver that all-round feel-good summer vibe!
Fan Reviews
Some K-pop fans have branded this comeback as one that we will all remember! Red Velvet are known as the "Queens" of K-pop, and the Dojeon Media team really thinks they are in with a chance of becoming the 2026 K-pop "Summer Queens." Other fans have become emotional at the thought of this full-group comeback after two years. During the two-year gap, some of the members embarked on individual career paths.
Where and When
K-pop fans, get ready! This brand new mini-album, Velvet Summer, dropped across all major streaming platforms on August 3, 2026, at 6:00 PM KST. This release is set to tie in perfectly with the group's 12th anniversary fan concerts, which will take place on August 1st and 2nd. During these two dates, the concerts will be held at Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium, with ticket details available via Melon Ticket.
Ticket Prices
Due to the continued rise in physical CD sales over the past year, the album is expected to retail between $15 and $25 USD, depending on the edition and shipping region, and it is expected to sell out fast. As for tickets to their anniversary fan concert at Hwajeong Gymnasium, prices are around 132,000 to 154,000 KRW (approximately $95 to $115 USD) via official ticketing outlets. Is this pricing fair, or is it a little too high?
Will Their Comeback Be Successful? & Final Thoughts
The Dojeon Media team really does hope that their first full-group reunion will be a success. All signs point to there being strong demand for the group's new music, and in the past, Red Velvet have more than proven their talent and worth as a group. With the anticipation and press coverage surrounding their reunion, they are set to have a massive 2026 summer comeback. The question is, will their ticket sales, streaming numbers, and CD sales live up to the hype?
As they step into a new chapter together, Velvet Summer is poised to become one of the biggest K-pop releases of the year.
