Red Velvet duo to return with ‘Naughty’

The Red Velvet duo can’t slow down their invincible synergies. Irene and Seulgi of the prominent K-pop girl group released a teaser video of their upcoming song “Naughty,” a follow-up track of their recent single “Monster.” The new song, which compares the tension of thrilling relationship to playing hide-and-seek, features catchy, bouncy beats and a groovy bassline.

In the teaser, the duo appears in clean-cut black outfits and pony tails in a futuristic background. It wraps up by featuring the two bandmates walking toward each other from opposite direction.

According to S.M. Entertainment, the music video of “Naughty” will be followed by a total of three special clips featuring the two singers’ performances.

Irene and Seulgi dropped their first unit album “Monster” earlier this month.

“Naughty” is set to drop on July 20.
