Mini bio
How it started.
Born Kang Seul-gi in Ansan, Seulgi began training at SM Entertainment in 2007. Seven years of practice led to her debut with Red Velvet in August 2014. Before that debut, fans met her through SM Rookies, including a “Be Natural” performance with Irene.
Finding her own sound.
Her partnership with Irene became Red Velvet’s first subunit in 2020, releasing Monster. In 2022, Seulgi introduced her own musical world with 28 Reasons. She helped shape its theme of good and evil existing within one person and wrote the lyrics to “Dead Man Runnin’,” selected through SM’s blind submission process.
Beyond the stage.
Seulgi also draws and takes photographs. She opened her personal Hi Seulgi YouTube channel in February 2024 to share fashion, beauty and everyday life. That October, her first film photography exhibition, NOTHING SPECIAL BUT SPECIAL, paired her photographs with images of her taken by photographer Rie.
The next chapters.
In 2025 she returned as a soloist with Accidentally On Purpose and reunited with Irene for TILT. Their work together continued with the 2026 Japan tour blank and Cheetah, their first original Japanese mini album.
