"Red Velvet will come back to the music scene in August with a new album," an SM Entertainment official told reporters on Wednesday. The new album is the second part of the band's "ReVe Festival Day" project.
Red Velvet has topped the real-time U.S. iTunes albums chart with "The ReVe Festival Day 1" for the first time as a K-pop girl band on June 19. The music video for the album's title song, "Zimzalabim", was watched some 46.4 million times.
Red Velvet, which debuted in 2014, has released hit songs such as "Red Flavor", "Bad Boy", "RBB" and "Rookie". The band was applauded by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un when it performed in Pyongyang ahead of an inter-Korean summit in April last year
