Red Velvet member Seulgi has spoken out about an incident involving her manager at the airport.

On July 13, Seulgi took to social media to explain, "I want to apologize to my manager and everyone disappointed by what happened at the airport yesterday."

Seulgi, heading to Kaohsiung, Taiwan for the 'K-MEGA CONCERT IN KAOHSIUNG' on July 12th from Incheon Airport, initially wore a black sheer top, boot-cut jeans, and sky-blue high heels. Later, away from the press, she changed into sneakers provided by staff inside the airport.

Photos of her manager struggling with luggage and uncomfortable in high heels sparked online criticism, alleging mistreatment.

Addressing this, Seulgi clarified, "I recently got blisters and foot injuries from practice. The heels I wore weren't too high, so I didn't bring spare sneakers, which was my mistake."

She added, "As I walked, my feet hurt more. Even in Kaohsiung, seeing my discomfort, my manager suggested changing shoes just to exit the airport and avoid worsening my condition for the performance."

Seulgi apologized to disappointed fans and her manager, acknowledging, "I'm sorry for not making the right call under painful circumstances. I apologize to my manager for any trouble caused."

She personally apologized to her manager and pledged to be more cautious in the future to prevent similar incidents.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
