Red Velvet’s Irene Blurred Out Of Own Member’s Video, Triggers Massive Speculation
After wrapping up her latest K-Drama filming, Red Velvet‘s Yeri received a thoughtful surprise from Irene that caught fans’ attention. The video was most recently shared by BLITZWAY, Yeri’s new company.
Unexpectedly, the clip left netizens scratching their heads after they noticed Irene’s face was noticeably blurred.
Irene had prepared a sweet mini celebration for Yeri, who recently wrapped up filming for Bitch X Rich 2. She showed up with staff members, singing a congratulatory song and presenting Yeri with a stunning bouquet of flowers. The car trunk was also decorated with a large congratulatory poster and colorful balloons.

Yeri even posted a photo with Irene afterward, expressing her gratitude for the thoughtful surprise. Because of this, many fans were confused when Irene’s face was censored in BLITZWAY’s video of the event.
Some wondered if it was simply a matter of agency rules, since Yeri is no longer under SM Entertainment, while others thought it could be due to not having prior consent for Irene’s appearance in the clip.
- “I doubt they didn’t recognize her. Since the other masked person’s eyes weren’t blurred, it’s probably just a short clip where they didn’t bother to get permission and blurred her out… nothing serious.”
- “Maybe they covered her because she wasn’t wearing makeup.”
- “Seems like no big deal.”
- “It’s funny that fans didn’t say anything and just assumed they didn’t notice, but people here are making a fuss… Fans aren’t the sensitive ones, the commenters here are, lol.”
- “Probably because they’re under different agencies now, so they needed permission.”
For now, it seems like this is just another case of agency rules causing a bit of confusion.
