Looks likeRed Velvetfans will soon be able to unite under one name as it has been announced that a fanclub name for the group will be revealed soon.
Recently, a post titled, "Red Velvet Official Fanclub - Supporters Recruitment Guide!"was published on Red Velvet's official website. The post starts off with, "Ahead of announcing Red Velvet's official fanclub name, we are recruiting supporters to start doing activities with Red Velvet."

Those interested in applying for the position can read the requirements (in Korean)here.
