SM Under Pressure: ReVeLuvs Demand Solo Opportunities for Red Velvet Irene
ReVeLuvs believe that Irene's immense potential as a solo artist is being overlooked and underutilized. They contend that she possesses the talent, charisma, and star power to captivate audiences on her own.
However, fans claimed that Irene has had limited opportunities to showcase her individual talent. ReVeLuvs argue that Irene deserves better treatment and demand that SM Entertainment provide her with solo schedules and promotions.
SM Entertainment Pressured to Grant Red Velvet's Irene Solo Opportunities
The frustration reached a boiling point when Irene herself expressed her desire for more personal growth and opportunities outside of Red Velvet.
In a recent statement, Irene reflected on her accomplishments as a group member but admitted that she felt she hadn't achieved as much as her alter ego, Bae Jo-hyun.

ReVeLuvs' Outcry
Fans have emphasized that the narrative of Irene not being ready or unwilling to pursue solo endeavors is simply not accurate.
They assert that Irene has explicitly stated her enthusiasm for venturing into new artistic territories if given the chance.
Stop with the "she's not ready" and "she doesn't want that" narrative. It's annoying cuz she has clearly stated before that if she was given the chance she would love to explore and grow more as an individual artist 😒#SM_TREAT_IRENE_BETTER#에셈_아이린_차별대우_그만해

ReVeLuvs argue that by providing Irene with solo jobs and better promotions, SM Entertainment would not only fulfill the desires of dedicated fans but also unlock her full potential as an artist.
irene could have more than what she has right now if only you let her grow as an individual and by giving her opportunities that she deserves.
