This will be Red Velvet's first full group's comeback in about two years. In 2019, Wendy got multiple injuries from a stage accident during SBS Music Awards rehearsal, resulting in her long break from the K-pop scene for her full recovery.
On July 6, 2020, then, Irene and Seulgi formed a unit and released their debut mini-album, "Monster."

During that time, Wendy was already hinting at her return. However, Irene was caught in an attitude controversy, one of the most probable reasons why the group couldn't make a full group comeback in 2020.
On a positive note, Red Velvet's August return is already receiving great feedback and anticipation. K-pop enthusiasts are now focused on the kind of genre and concept the "Summer Queens" will bring in the music industry, following their hit track, "Psycho."
