Considering the timeline, it becomes clear why they were unable to proceed with the promotions. The girl group was about to mark their tenth anniversary that year and had not made a proper comeback since 2015.
Instead of releasing “Red Flavor,”Girls’ Generation released their album “Holiday Night,”which featured lead singles “Holiday”and “All Night.”That same year, Sooyoung departed from SM Entertainment, and the members took a prolonged break from group promotions. It took them four years to regroup and an additional five years to release new music together.
