Back in 2018, March, quite a few South Korean singers and performers went to North Korea for a special concert in Pyongyang. The concert was set to start on March 31 and lasted till April 3. There were quite a few artists who performed on the 1st of April. And one of these groups was none other than Red Velvet.
The group performed the songs, ‘Red Flavor’ and ‘Bad Boy’. They didn’t make any changes to the performance other than making up for Joy’s absence. According to a Soompi report, the crowd was pretty responsive to their performance as well.
Yeri explained, “They clapped a lot louder for us than I thought they would, and sang along as well. I felt a lot less nervous because of that.”
Wendy added, “We had the mindset that even if there was no reaction, we would do our best since we were doing this to showcase our songs, but the audience displayed a lot of positive responses.”
Irene mentioned, “When we were out of breath, the audience smiled and clapped for us.”
The members seemed quite happy with the experience. Kim Jong Un also met the artists later. He asked them to lay on the message to President Moon Jae In, “As we said, ‘Spring is coming,’ this time, let us continue with this momentum so that we may be able to say, ‘Autumn is here,’ in the fall.”
According to the same report, Kim Jong Un also reported, “There had been interest in whether I would come and see Red Velvet. I had initially planned to attend a performance the day after tomorrow but I came here today after adjusting my schedule.” He also thanked the group as well saying, “I thank you for this kind gift to Pyongyang’s citizens.”
