Red Velvet’s Irene Shocks With New Instagram Posts After 5 Month Long Hiatus
Irene has always been known for keeping her social media presence minimal, but her latest move caught fans completely off guard.
After months of silence, the Red Velvet leader suddenly returned to Instagram with multiple posts in just one night.

The surprise came after a five-month gap in activity, making the updates even more meaningful for her fans. What stood out even more was that Irene didn’t just post once — she uploaded three different updates within hours, a super rare occurrence for the star.

The photos weren’t from a recent shoot either. Instead, they went back to November 2024, when she made her highly anticipated solo debut.
One of the uploads included behind-the-scenes shots from the filming of her debut promotions, giving fans a closer look at the production process.

The comments under the viral thread reflected the excitement, with many fans praising her beauty and expressing how much they missed her presence on social media. Irene’s unexpected update reminded fans why she continues to be one of the most talked-about idols, even with her minimal online activity.
