Red Velvet member Irene is not only a visual in her group, but also a strong leader who always tries to protect her members.

As one of the “visual goddesses” of Kpop’s 3rd generation, Irene is not only loved for her beauty, but also for her leadership. In fact, the female idol never fails to protect and take care of Red Velvet members.

Recently, Red Velvet went to Manila, Philippines for their schedules. However, when they arrived at the airport and were wrapping up their entry procedures, the girl group was secretly filmed by an airport staff. At the time, Irene was the one who detected the film and informed security. Had it not been for her quick response, personal information of Red Velvet may be leaked.

Another evidence of Irene’s leadership happened during Red Velvet’s appearance at the 2022 Gaon Chart Music Awards. At the time, the COVID-19 wave in Korea was still strong, so Irene declined on behalf of her group when reporters requested them to take their mask off.

However, the reporters were relentless and kept insisting and yelling at Red Velvet to take off their mask. Irene tried to signal them to stop, but Red Velvet eventually gave in to the request. As a result, Irene was unhappy, but still had to appear professional in front of the rude reporters.

At the SBS Gayo Daejun 2019, Irene also showed impressive professionalism. In particular, despite knowing that her member, Wendy, suffered from a serious accident at the show, she had to hold back on her tears and emotions and hosted the event perfectly.

As the eldest of the group, Irene never failed to protect Red Velvet, and would often walk behind her members, watching out for their possessions and observing to ensure safety.

In 2020, Irene got embroiled in a “power trip” controversy, after a stylist accused the female idol of acting harshly towards the staff. At the time, the Red Velvet member was drowned in criticisms, but she sincerely apologized and appeased the alleged victim. At the moment, Irene is making a strong rebound with numerous CF offers and even earning a new reality show for herself.
