Background

On July 4, 2017, through a press release, SM Entertainment revealed that Red Velvet would be holding their first ever solo concert titled "Red Room" for two nights on August 19 and 20.[1] Tickets for the two shows sold-out in seconds which caused the website to crash. Due to high demand, one additional show was added and to be held on August 18.[2]

In Japan, the first show of Red Velvet's Japanese hall tour was held on May 25, 2018, at Marine Messe Fukuoka, in Fukuoka, Japan. SM Entertainment has decided to hold a hall tour on six cities in Japan in response to the flood of applications referring to the group performing in the country.[3] This is the first nationwide hall tour with eight performances at six locations in Japan, starting in the Wakuwaku Holiday Hall in Sapporo, Hokkaido on May 25, ahead of the release of Red Velvet's first Japanese mini album
