Did plusebani not style her for her party? Kinda surprised but maybe there was some conflict. She definitely sucks at her job.

I can see the sexualisation argument except she’s worn stuff that’s functionally similar like the off shoulder tops for the iconic RBB/BB performance back in 2018 and the Psycho SMA performance in 2020. She was also happy w/ that dress in the queens archive perfect 10 clip. But she may feel that tank tops aren’t as secure..

In other news, I’m kinda blown away by how she managed to go to her own exhibition that was filled with photos of just her and not be recognized
https://x.com/irene_global/status/17873 ... 37697?s=46
She must take additional disguising measures or something, like maybe she wears something that makes her look taller + glasses + cap + mask. And she went at a less busy time? Idk.
Sure, her 2018 RBB/BB performance was iconic but I can bet you a million dollars that she absolutely hated how viral it became. Even many Baetokkis are ignorant to how uncomfortable Irene is with skimpy outfits on stage. Idols don't have much control over what they wear, Irene certainly didn't in 2018/20 and probably today it's still difficult unless they are stylists that know the members well. It makes sense that Irene would bring her own safety clothing just in case.

That's just the issue with styling in Kpop because you don't have a person that overlooks everything from music to styling, so you just end up working with stylists that have no idea what actually works for a performance. And don't get me started on the difference in male/female styling.

Jfc I've never met an stylist so bad at her job like H5. It should be a crime to be so bad at something. She must have some powerful conections to able to snatch a job at a big 4 and not getting fired and blacklisted after the first fashion crime.

Does anyone know why Irene wears these transparent sleeves? It's regardless of season/weather and she only started wearing them since last year
Corrected link
It's not just transparent sleeves, she also wore black pants. I think the anons that were discussing about the NYE performance has a point, it's something to do with 1022, she probably wants to avoid disagreeing with a stylist. I'm don't know who styled her for the birthday party but the three tweets above it are all from the same stylist humming5 and and she's been causing wardrobe malfunctions for the RV girls.

While I am bored of the "Irene hates men" jokes, I do feel bad for her because she genuinely seems hyper aware of what people do with fancam footage, hence she doesn't like showing skin when she performs. She does wear regular tank tops privately, so it definitely has to do with creepy fans overstepping boundaries. Sigh. I wish female fans would think about this too. Irene likes darker/sexy concepts, but it's just people don't know how to act and then just turn into weirdos.

It could be because she doesn't feel comfortable showing too much skin. She only seems to wear this when her top outfit is too small and reveals too much skin. She never seemed comfortable with those kind of outfits so this is possibly true.

Irene the IT girl. The fact that Seoul police had to be called because of the crowd and traffic was blocked. She tried going out from the front entrance to greet everyone but it was too dangerous so they had to create an exit from the back. All of that money she’s made them better be used for her solo.

Watching trolls cry scream and throw up seeing Irene being so successful despite them trying so hard to say otherwise is hilarious to me. SM did an exhibition with Irene for a reason. It’s because it’s THE Irene that it’s so successful. She will never lose her popularity and relevancy. Let’s go queen!

Re: IRENE of RED VELVET

Apparently selling Irene as a celebrity was a strategy that worked very well, SM has to do this with other idols

Re: IRENE of RED VELVET

Not SM still selling her as a celebrity and not building her up as an artist because they still can’t find her talent anywhere

Irene’s exhibition event having multiple lines in and outside every single day, in the heat, on weekdays also and Irene’s exhibition becoming a tourist attraction so they created free luggage storage for visitors is insane. She will always be popular and relevant. I hope we get photos today from her fan event. I’m so proud of her!

It just shows that disqualifying other people's translations is a way for them to have a monopoly that will serve to spread the narratives they want to create.
ReVelUpSubs has a good record; I haven't seen people have any problem with them.
For interviews, I recommend this one: https://0801heavendelight.wordpress.com/.
If you're looking for interviews not on the WordPress link, I usually read at least two versions and decide for myself which one's the best. You can also find good quotes on https://twitter.com/irene_record.
For sheets, here's one, but it's still ongoing:
Unfortunately, https://redvelvetupdates.tumblr.com no longer exists. They had a lot of vintage RV stuff that is hard to find elsewhere.
For example, Irene_global has this interview https://twitter.com/irene_global/status ... 1288162305, but I noticed it missed the part where Irene talks about her family riding a bike every spring. You can find it mirrored here: https://www.tumblr.com/329archive/73177 ... i-just-had, so it doesn't hurt to double-check some stuff.
I remember the GQ Korea interview; I saw multiple translations, but the best one was posted on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/ ... ets_irene/.

I'm so happy that Irene is finally back in her usual beautiful self, y'all know what I mean. Been gone for so long about adult staff & seeing my twt tl that the exhibition is a resounding success, I can't help but be emotional. I hope Irene can get all the confidence she needs for BJH1 after seeinv that her fandom got bigger & she's always been in the heart of gp.

So proud of her. Also her md keeps selling out and even non fans are whipped. You know that she has the gp on a chokehold when fans waiting in line say all they hear from passersby is “oh it’s Irene”, “it’s Irene”, “Irene”, “Irene” even in different dialects. And then join the line. That is the gp. They can recognise her straight away and be prepared to wait in a long line in the heat on a weekday to see her exhibition. It’s even more impressive thinking she’s had years of bare minimum exposure.

She’s on another level if you think about it despite it all she’s had so much success - w&h which ranked higher then the top kdrama, best selling magazine for waves, her albums always sold out and at crazy prices, taking 2aN to new heights, the crazy md sales, creating trends and selling out items she’s worn, trending every other day on various platforms, new fansites every time she makes a rare appearance and maintaining a loyal fan base which is growing and so on.

Why are they still here? Don’t they have a ton of content to analyze? Feels like they don’t even like her.
Pretending they never got a comeback is better than trying to embrace the embarassing era it was.

DA I saw this before too and more recently on Pann after the robot girlie stuff, there were a lot of comments basically calling BJH gay. They meant it to insult her but a lot of suggestive comments were highly upvoted. The male rumors come from anti fans, mostly Wluvs and Joyfools. There have also been others things, lol I remember her hair stylist looking scandalized after telling her manager that Irene thought she was pretty.

But tbh I have given up on trying to read into info on her because she really keeps her personal life tightly guarded. I think some of it is because she grew up online/somewhat normally in the millennial privacy era haha.

I just focus on her as a public figure and tbh I find her quite admirable in that regard. Like we have seen how much she works to improve and develop as a performer, then you can tell she had clear demands when negotiating, there’s so much thought put into the exhibition from the free PCs, changing it up daily, little activities, hand drawn notebooks and book markers and just everything. She really tries her best for fans.
DA
There was also a Pann post a couple of years ago that (insultingly) called her a feminist lesbian. I don't really see "lesbian" thrown around publicly by knetz as a way to shit talk idols (unless it's mb) so it made me wonder.
DA Another one from last year:
An SM idol girl is a lesbian, when she wanted to talk about it, she was accused of all sins, persuaded other people to write nasty things about her, ruined her reputation, in the end she gave up | 2023 - 🙎‍♀️ 1991 src

This question also makes a good point but for BJH it was used as an insult. :whistle:

A bit off topic but an intel:
"Was Joy ever called a dyke? She got into somewhat of a feminist problem with the incels too" is funny because that Pann post calling Irene a feminist lesbian said that Joy and Yeri were better than Irene BECAUSE she's a feminist lesbian. Which is ridiculous as Joy had her own "feminist" troubles and I feel safe assuming that Yeri skews that way too. But regardless while Joy invoked the incels, they weren't calling her a lez over it :spy: :spy:
DA and what if I said there were posts as far back as when RV was four members wondering if Irene leaned that way bc of how handsy she used to be with joy. I guess there's just something about her demeanor, even in recent years and recently during all these dating scandals quite a few people seem to think she's not the type that's into men across multiple forums. Even if not true, I think it shows that contrary to what people on here would have you believe, we're not the only ones that wonder or get that impression from her. I can't say I've seen the same for other members and I've genuinely looked.
Da It's good to see a true OG fan still here 🤗. Hmm, do you also happen to know the date of the interview where Joy said Irene is just quiet whenever the members talk about guys? I've only seen it in a crack video but I can't find the interview.

I’m so proud of Irene and how well her exhibition is going. It’s been busy everyday and now they have a new system to allow more people in at a time so there is less waiting time. Despite that a fan posted that there were two rows of people inside and rows outside waiting to get in today. In the system before it took over an hour to get in but now with allowing more in at one time it’s around half an hour. It’s a weekday and it’s a hot day also. She’s so loved 🩷 I hope that this is the start of many wonderful things for her. I can’t wait until her fanmeet.

I don't know if this counts as receipt, but it's something I thought was intriguing.

Back in 2019, someone made a post about Irene on DC gallery. It should be known that this site is only used by men, for the most part very incel-ish. That's why this post was even more surprising. Just how far is this rumor?
Someone made a post about Irene.

"(I) heard the Irene rumor and I am relieved. (Title)
Irene lesbian story
I was worried because I heard the idol world is like an animal kingdom, but I was relieved to hear that she likes women"


The person who wrote this also chatted with another person in the comments and said where they heard this

"I heard the source of the gossip is the financial world? I know that this place has a lot of contact with the entertainment industry due to stock price fluctuations, etc."
"I heard it a long time ago so I can trust it more, but many of the things that came out of his mouth were true."


I often search if I can find lesbian gossip on the Korean site, so it was interesting to see this pop up, because it's never open like this easily, so I wonder how much talk there is about Irene in closed forums and private chats :hmmm:
