The Red Velvet Dorm Rules Bring Them Peace
Five girls living together under the same roof is probably a recipe for disaster if there are no agreements or rules. So they decided to make dormitory rules, among which is one that says no outside members can enter the dorm without permission. Apparently, in KBS’s Happy Together, Joy admitted that she has broken the regulation. Well, she brought her younger sister to Red Velvet’s dorm without any approval. Then, this caused the other members to complain and she apologized for breaking the rule. However, these strict rules are reasonable since they make it easier to manage privacy and reduce friction among the members since they’re living together for a long time.
Red Velvet Dorm Layout
Speaking about dorm layout, Joy explained briefly what the dorm looks like on Happy Together 4. In the beginning, the Red Velvet members suggested to the company to live separately with three members in one dorm and the remaining in a second dorm. As matter of fact, SM Entertainment refused it and wanted to have them all in the same dorm. The dorm has four nice rooms and one small extra room that serves as a utility room. Then, Seulgi decided to use the utility room under one condition, where she was allowed to use the hallway for her dressing room. So smart of Seulgi!
