Red Velvet’s Irene & Seulgi Return with Sophomore Mini-Album ‘TILT’ and Launch Global Asia Tour

K-pop power duo Irene & Seulgi, a subunit of Red Velvet, are making their highly anticipated return after nearly five years with their second mini-album ‘TILT’, releasing globally on May 26 at 6 PM (KST).

The mini-album ‘TILT’ is a vibrant collection of six genre-blending tracks, with the title track of the same name leading the project. The album explores themes of breaking boundaries and evolving identities, vividly conveying its message: the more you tilt and tremble through change, the brighter you glow. It signals an upgraded musical direction for the duo and builds upon the narrative from their 2020 debut mini-album ‘Monster’.

Upon their debut with ‘Monster’, Irene & Seulgi achieved major success, topping South Korean digital music and album charts, claiming #1 on iTunes Top Album charts in 50 countries, and leading Chinese platforms like QQ Music and Kugou Music‘s digital album rankings. This history has amplified expectations around ‘TILT’ and its experimental yet signature sound.

Following the launch of ‘TILT’, Irene & Seulgi will kick off their first solo concert tour, ‘2025 Irene & Seulgi Concert Tour [Balance] in Asia’, beginning with two sold-out shows in Seoul on June 14–15. The tour will include stops in seven cities across Asia, marking an extensive push to connect with fans in a broader global stage.

Fans can pre-order the physical album ‘TILT’ starting today (May 7) through both online and offline stores worldwide. As this marks Irene & Seulgi’s full-fledged return to the spotlight, global K-pop audiences are eagerly awaiting the next chapter of the duo’s journey as a perfect unit.
