5 things to know about K-pop idol Seulgi, girl group Red Velvet's ‘Teddy Bear’
The Red Velvet band member, who has an avid fan following, is well-known for her wit, fun television appearances and strong streak of courage
Khang Seulgi of Red Velvet is often referred to as “Teddy Bear Seulgi” by her adoring fans. Known for her priceless reactions and funny one-liners, the singer never ceases to surprise and raise laughs.
On her birthday, February 10, we list five occasions where we got to see Seulgi at her best.
1. Back to school
In an episode of Off to School, a South Korean TV show where celebrities spend three days attending a high school, we got to see Seulgi’s soft side. As she read out her farewell letter in front of the class looking back at those three days, she could not hold back her tears – and neither could the students.
Perhaps the experience gave her a taste of what she missed out on in her teenage years, of which seven years were spent training day and night for SM Entertainment, the company that signed her on, before she made her debut.
2. Singer extraordinaire
Korean pop stars are known for their high-voltage vocals and superb choreography.
But on an episode of the singing competition King of Mastered Singer, Seulgi dropped jaws with a simple and beautiful rendition of the song Turning the Pages of Memories by Lee Sun Hee. The crowd listened in silence as she hit every note perfectly, and gave her a standing ovation at the end.
