Girl group Red Velvet will release its new EP “The Velvet” on Wednesday.

Since last week, the group’s label SM Entertainment has been releasing teaser images to raise anticipation for the five-member group’s return to the music scene.

It has been six months since its first full-length album “The Red” was released in September last year. The album had catapulted the rookie group to fame due to the popularity of its lead track “Dumb Dumb.” The upcoming EP contains the lead track “One of These Nights,” which is an R&B ballad track.

On the day of the album release, the girls will go live on Naver’s V app at 10 p.m. to perform songs from the album for the first time and to talk with fans.

“The Velvet” will be released at midnight on Wednesday via online music streaming sites. The girls will perform on Thursday on the Mnet music program “M Countdown.” Following the appearance, the group will continue its promotion on KBS’ “Music Bank” on Friday, MBC’s “Show! Music Core” on Saturday and SBS’ “Inkigayo” on Sunday.

Naver’s real-time broadcasting app V allows fans to interact with their favorite K-pop stars through live broadcasts. The app is available for Android and iOS. For more information, visit http://www.vlive.tv.
