None of the Red Velvet members were interested or have been in an open relationship since they made their first presence in K-pop culture, but they have spoken dating and rumors before. Let’s have an insight into the girls’ individual dating history and their views on relationships, as per media reports.
1. Irene
Irene was regarded to be into the dating scenario while she was in high school, prior to her becoming a trainee at SM Entertainment. There is a very old and almost unverifiable photo of Irene and her ex-boyfriend moving around. The picture is considered to be of Irene and her high school boyfriend in their school uniforms, captured at karaoke. After the debut, Irene was occupied in a dating rumor with actor Park Bo Gum. She made her presence on Radio Star and mentioned that she didn’t know the two of them were rumored to be dating.
When was asked regarding her ideal type, Irene has said on multiple channels that she likes gentlemen. “I don’t really care about the looks. I want a good personality… Someone with a good heart.” — Irene
2. Seulgi
Seulgi has never been on a date with anyone according to her Radio Star interview (among others).
In the past, when Super Junior‘s Kyuhyun talked to Seulgi even before she made her first presence with Red Velvet, the two almost got occupied in a dating rumor. The idea was shot down when Seulgi agreed Kyuhyun is not her type.
Seulgi explained, “I don’t like guys who have double eyelids,” said Seulgi.
3. Wendy
Wendy has also never been into the dating scene. Even if she tried to pretend she had experienced it, the small lie detector toy revealed the truth. Wendy’s ideal type, as shown in a radio interview, is someone who “is considerate, has good manners, and smiles a lot.”
“As for being considerate, I’m pretty considerate so it’s okay if he isn’t. I do want the person to come with great manners though. And I want someone whose smile shows what a good person he is,” said Wendy.
4. Joy
Joy also shared, on a talk show, ‘We Got Married’, that she has no knowledge of dating.
“I began agency training when I was in high school. I never had the chance to date. When I go out to see the flowers, I see a lot of couples. It makes me kind of angry. I can’t help but think I’d make a great girlfriend,” revealed Joy. Even when she appeared on We Got Married with BTOB‘s Sungjae, the two weren’t a part of any dating rumors. Joy’s ideal type is rock singer Park Wan Kyu. She fell for him after watching a video clip of him singing “Lonely Night” and dancing to it”, said Joy.
5. Yeri
Yeri was recently a part of the dating rumor with NCT‘s Taeyong. While there have been no real statements made about these speculations, fans continue to grow suspicious about the pair’s relationship. In the past, Yeri openly revealed that her one and only ideal type is actor Jo In Sung. In various interviews, she showered her passion for the handsome actor and said she followed all his shows ever since she was young. “I love Jo In Sung. Since I was younger, I’ve watched everything he was in,” said Yeri.
