SEOUL, July 16 (AJP) - K-pop girl group Red Velvet's upcoming concerts have all sold out, SM Entertainment said on Thursday.

The now-five-member group, which originally debuted as a quartet, will hold three concerts from July 31 to Aug. 2 in Seoul. The group initially planned to hold shows only on Aug. 1 and 2, but both sold out during presales opened for their fans, prompting SM Entertainment to add another show on July 31 which also quickly sold out.

The concerts will be their first performance together as a complete five-member lineup in about two years.

After the concerts, Red Velvet will continue their momentum with their new EP, "Velvet Summer," which is slated for release on Aug. 3 and contains five songs including the title track "Surfin' Boy."

The members are also scheduled to return with a new season of their reality series "Level Up Project," which began in 2017 and follows the members on one-day getaways featuring various team missions.

The three-episode series is slated for release on Aug. 14, airing weekly on Fridays at 8 p.m. on Mnet and Wavve. It will also be available on Red Velvet's YouTube channel one week after each broadcast.
