While Red Velvet isn’t my favorite girl group ever, I do think they might be the best. Their appeal is so universal, and ReVeluv has been one of the best fan groups to interact with online. Additionally, their 2017 album Perfect Velvet is, in my opinion, the best K-pop album released so far. Period. A massive number of awards and recognitions also agree the group is great, so this all might be my most room-temperature K-pop take ever.
