Fans have expressed discomfort over Red Velvet Irene's interactions with staff during a song recording session.

Red Velvet made a recent comeback with "Cosmic," and despite initial challenges, the album has exceeded expectations in terms of performance.

SM Entertainment released a behind-the-scenes recording of "Cosmic" on June 26, offering fans a glimpse into the song's creation process.

Typically, fans enjoy witnessing the group's natural dynamics, but some were troubled by the behavior towards Irene during her part.

Initially, Irene mentioned that the manager commented that her “face didn’t look great” before she entered the studio.

However, the primary cause of fans' unease stems from Irene's treatment during the recording session itself. Fans observed that Irene received insufficient direction, resulting in her needing to repeat lines multiple times.

Furthermore, some fans observed a change in Irene's demeanor during the recording session and were displeased when the director suggested that “she could do better.”

Fans expressed their unease with these incidents, noting that the director's remarks came across as "condescending." Joy's past remarks about the group's treatment have likely made fans more sensitive to any potential issues.
