“Bad Boy” is actually the group’s third track to cross 2.5 million downloads, but is the only one certified as Platinum because Gaon has set the certification system for tracks released 2018 onwards only. Red Velvet’s earlier tracks that previously crossed 2.5 million are “Russian Roulette” and “Red Flavor”, released 2016 and 2017 respectively.

This also marks Red Velvet’s first “velvet” concept track to cross 2.5 million downloads, as “Russian Roulette” and “Red Flavor” are considered their “red” concept tracks.

Fans are overjoyed at the news!
