* YinYangClash: Considering the monochrome theme of the sub-unit, this paticular trope comes to mind.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Seulgi dyed hers bright red for "Monster" promotions.

* HotterAndSexier: Although Music/RedVelvet is no stranger to {{Fanservice}}, the Seulgi and Irene sub-unit takes the vampiness to a new level. (JustifiedTrope, because they're two of the oldest members and trainees since 2014 in general. It makes sense for them to have the "mature, sexy grown women" concept.) In "Naughty," the introduction scenes are:

Plans for this sub-unit have been brewing since at least 2014 when Irene and Seulgi, [[LongRunners oldest female trainees at the time]], were paired for the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkZ9je4xSIY "Be Natural"]]'' Performance Video belonging to the [=SMROOKIES=] Project. The group was officially announced in 2020. The duo's debut Mini Album ''Monster'' had one title track, plus one special track ''Naughty'' available only with the physical copy of the EP. Music videos were released for both.

* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: Irene bends her back almost 90 degrees ''in heels'' for the ''Monster'' choreo.

* '''DancingIsSeriousBusiness''': Pride of the two main dancers of the group after all. ''Naughty'' is possibly the worst offender of this: they practiced the tutting and voguing of the choreography for ''[[TrainingFromHell 5 months]]'' to get it perfectly right. As soon as the music video was released, it was regarded as one of the most difficult performed by idols to date.
* EnemyWithin: What the concept for the ''Monster'' music video boils down to. Irene is, likely, a demon that possesses Seulgi, commencing a FightingFromTheInside. In the end, it's apparently Seulgi that turns things around and gains control over Irene, [[HeWhoFightsMonsters becoming a monster herself]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: Look at Irene. Can you believe she's almost 30?
* QueerRomance: Take a shot every time Irene and Seulgi AlmostKiss in the ''Monster'' music video. Wait, no, don't, you'll die.
* SingerNameDrop: {{Downplayed}}. ''Naughty'''s second-to-last verse has the words ''"Aseul, aseul~"''(''"아슬아슬"'' in Korean, the first characters of Irene and Seulgi's names, which translates to ''"risky"'').
* StockSoundEffects: ''Monster'' has [[HellIsThatNoise distorted sounds of crying babies]].

* StockSoundEffects: ''Monster'' has [[HellIsThatNoise distorted sounds of crying babies]].
* TechnicianVsPerformer: Seulgi and Irene, respectively. Seulgi's style is sharp and angular, with powerful moves and explosive energy. Irene is more fluid and flexible, akin to a contemporary style. Needless to say, they're complementary to each other.
