Red Velvet Irene’s Viral Drunk Shenanigans
Red Velvet’s beloved leader, Irene, has once again become the hottest topic online, with clips of her surprising and utterly charming behavior after drinking alcohol now going massively viral across social media platforms. Fans are absolutely buzzing over her recent appearance, which showcased a completely unexpected and endearing side of the usually reserved idol.
Irene recently appeared on Lee Young Ji’s massively popular drinking talk show, ‘Not Much Prepared’ this week, and the dynamic duo kept viewers absolutely glued to their screens with their unexpected and delightful chemistry. It was Irene’s behavior after a few drinks, however, that truly caused a major stir among fans and became an instant talking point.
Irene’s Unexpected Aegyo Captivates Fans
In one particular clip, now totaling millions of views across X (formerly Twitter) and other platforms, the show’s PD stepped in to adjust Irene’s microphone, only to receive a full, adorable display of aegyo that left the female staff member visibly flustered – and fans utterly charmed.
OH MY GOD IRENE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/fyJ2HnbfbE
No, but you’re so cute… You’re so c— Please don’t look at me like that. No, please don’t look at me.
— Not Much Prepared PD
The 35-year-old star’s cutesy, almost childlike behavior left even longtime fans stunned, as this playful side is rarely seen publicly.
차쥐뿔 아이린 이거너무충격적임… 진심 50분 내내 이사람누구야…??급으로 이런모습처음봐서 정신아픔시벌… 이분 데뷔 13년차인데도 아직도 초면의 모습이 계속나온다는게 ㅈㄴ마성의여자.한번입린하면탈린못하는이유인부분임… pic.twitter.com/CZp5WKXE90
Not Much Prepared Irene, this is way too shocking… Seriously, for the entire 50 minutes I was like, “Who is this person…??” The level of seeing a side of her I’ve never seen before was so intense that my mind is hurting, fuck… She’s in her 13th year since debut, and the fact that she still keeps showing completely unfamiliar sides of herself is what makes her such an insanely captivating woman. This is exactly why, once you fall for Irene, you can never get out.

While fellow Red Velvet members Yeri and Seulgi revealed back in 2020 that Irene’s typical drunk habit is sending selfies to the rest of the group, few expected her to be so physically affectionate and prone to “baby talk” in a public setting.

Beyond just the adorable aegyo, the clip also has Irene going viral for “charming” women, and it’s not the first time this particular aspect of her personality has gained her significant attention and buzz.
Irene is a master at charming women.

She previously stirred buzz for flirting with actress Jung Yu Mi during a live radio broadcast, where she was caught passing bandmate Wendy a secret note calling the host “so pretty” and “totally my type”—a moment that sent fans into a frenzy.
She later sparked even more interest for only naming women when asked about her ideal type during a separate interview, further fueling fan speculation and delight.
Whether it’s her unexpected aegyo, her charming interactions, or her playfully candid confessions, Irene continues to prove why she’s one of K-Pop’s most captivating idols, always keeping fans on their toes with her delightful and multifaceted personality!
