Irene accepted her fault and shared that the said fashion editor has exchanged &quot;sincere apologies&quot; and put the past behind them.언동@forever_psyIRENE SMILED AT ME AAAAAATHE ORIGINAL VISUAL, THE RED VELVET IRENE IS IN LONDON HEATHROW1694557IRENE SMILED AT ME AAAAAATHE ORIGINAL VISUAL, THE RED VELVET IRENE IS IN LONDON HEATHROW https://t.co/0MxRrp4G8BMore recently, Red Velvet's leader was entangled in a second wave of power abuse claims after she was spotted at an airport in Bali, Indonesia with her staff members.In the viral video, which was circulated online, staff members were seen pushing their luggage, while the Red Velvet member only had a shoulder bag.
