Before 2014, when people heard the name Red Velvet, they might think of a creamy red-colored cake but it’s not the same anymore. Now, people know the name Red Velvet as one of the biggest girl groups in the Korean pop industry. The five-member girl group “Red Velvet” debuted in 2014 under the SM Entertainment agency.

The first part of the name “Red” represents the bold and strong side of the girl group and the second part “Velvet” conveys the elegance and classy era that the group holds.
