Q: You finally debuted! Were you nervous?

Joy: I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I’d be. A lot of fans came to the recording of our performance, so it seemed like they were watching over us and supporting us. So we got a lot of strength from them.

–

Q: It’s just your debut performance, but you already have a lot of fans. Is it because you’re idols from SM Entertainment? Your sunbaes’ fans are watching you.

Seulgi: That makes us even more nervous. We’ll work hard so we can become cool artists like our sunbaes.

Q: Honestly, looking at your image teasers, I thought all of you looked the same. But looking at you up close in person, you all have different charms. In Joy’s case, she wasn’t shown like the other 3 members as part of SM Rookies, so was the reaction to Joy different?

Seulgi: Joy was veiled, so I think she got more attention. Right?

Joy: Honestly, I don’t think I got more attention. I think the other 3 unnies already had a lot of fans from the start of SM Rookies. But still, I was shocked and happy at the attention.

Q: To be honest, as a girl group’s debut song, ‘Happiness’ has a bit of a difficult concept. Some might say it looks kind of like a commercial for a safari amusement park. What’s the exact concept?

Seulgi: Isn’t it flashy? We used a lot of animations, and the real life parts are also refreshing, so I hope it’s a video you can have fun watching. There’s a lot of stuff to see.

Joy: I think it’s a music video where you can see our freshness, being the new artists that we are. We want to come out with a different new concept next time too. We want to do not just a lively and done concept, but also a feminine and enchanting performance.

–

Q: You’re already thinking of your next performance. What concept do you think you would do the best at?

Irene: I think we can do all sorts of genres. Even a sexy concept. (laughs) Our company has told us that we have a very enchanting gaze. We are captivating females. There’s a reason we decided to name our group “Red Velvet.”

–

Q: It seems like your company’s sunbaes gave you a lot of advice.

Seulgi: We met TVXQ and Super Junior the most while we were preparing for our debut. We haven’t forgotten TVXQ’s intentions, so we’ve been trying to greet them as much as possible.

–

Q: And Seulgi got a shout-out from Kyuhyun on ‘Radio Star’.

Seulgi: We didn’t even have to ask our sunbaes to support us, they just did it. (laughs) I think it happened because he was just looking after us, but that was recorded before it was even decided we’d be debuting. I was very shocked.

–

Q: Red Velvet, what do you think your individual charms are?

Irene: Hmm, what is it? (laughs) My hidden joking side?

Seulgi: Irene unnie seems very prim and proper, but that’s not the case. She has a completely different charm. She jokes around the most, so there are times she seems like a dongsaeng. Maybe my charm is that I look very Eastern? (laughs) Ah, this is embarrassing. I don’t have double eyelids. I think the thing that makes me stand out from the other members is that I don’t have double eyelids.

Wendy: I laugh a lot. I’m bright, I’m a very happy child. Happiness!

Joy: Since I’m maknae, I think I’m cute…

Seulgi: Joy is so cute. She has a lot of aegyo. She sometimes seems like a little kid.
