In 2014, Seulgi officially debuted as a member of the group Red Velvet. But unfortunately, as soon as Seulgi debuted, netizens criticized her negatively.

Thanks to her beautiful hands, Seulgi is very popular with jewelry brands and is often invited to be an advertising model for rings or bracelets. Seulgi doesn't even need elaborate nail polish, her hands are still enough to attract attention.

During a participation in the entertainment program Happy Together 4, Seulgi's fans were extremely angry because SM Entertainment let their idol stay in the storage room.

Accordingly, SM assigned Red Velvet a dormitory with 4 bedrooms and 1 storage room. But because Red Velvet has 5 members, there will have to be two girls sharing a room together. To avoid the group having to draw lots to divide the rooms and potentially causing unnecessary conflicts, Seulgi voluntarily moved into the storage room. Of course, Joy and the other members are very grateful for Seulgi's beautiful actions.

Remember when Seulgi once confessed that she really liked decorating her house in a gentle, minimalist style. Seulgi also showed off her private room to fans, and no one expected that this was just a warehouse when Seulgi knew it was a bright, airy, tidy and very cozy room.

When Red Velvet first debuted, the group had to live in a small apartment with only two bedrooms, so they had to live together. This causes a lot of inconvenience as each person has their own habits and preferences. Yet when they moved to the new dorm, SM Ent still couldn't let the girls stay in the 5-bedroom apartment, forcing Seulgi to move into the storage room.

When talking about Seulgi, not only fans but also many artists have to remember her characteristic creepy gait. Every time they watch Seulgi move, people wonder how she can glide across the floor, just like a horror movie.

Previously, a short video of Seulgi (Red Velvet) appearing on the show Knowing Bros quickly caused a stir among KPop fans. Not only the audience, but also the members of this entertainment show were also extremely surprised when they saw Seulgi enter.

The reason is because she walks like she's flying, as if she's gliding across the floor, not taking steps like a normal person. Even the Knowing Bros players, after seeing Seulgi glide with their own eyes, called this style of walking "ghost walk" - the walk of ghosts. Indeed, at night, seeing a girl in a white shirt with long hair walking as fast as the wind would make everyone panic.

Seulgi herself clarified that because everyone only looked at Seulgi's upper body, they thought she could fly, but Seulgi still walked like everyone else. Just because Seulgi takes short steps, and very fast, makes her body move very quickly and evenly.

In early 2024, fans discovered some strange comments on Seulgi's Instagram. This comment account seems to be following female idols, and also asked Seulgi not to text male idols. Because these comments had incorrect spelling and grammar, many fans speculated that this person was not Korean.

The content of these annoying comments made fans cold: "Don't be with anyone, especially at night. Don't love anyone first. I'm still around the Gangnam area and came to your place", "I'm going passed by my house at night and saw that the lights weren't on", "It looks like you're going with someone".

Contrary to her "icy" appearance, the female idol born in 1994 is loved by audiences and colleagues because of her humble, friendly and kind personality. Seulgi is a gentle, close and extremely sweet person, just like her familiar name is "Bear Kang". So when the news that Seulgi was being followed by crazy fans broke out, Red Velvet fans were very upset and asked the management company SM Entertainment to take immediate measures to protect their "pet chicken".
