Usher’s son, Naviyd, has become a topic of interest on social media due to his surprising love for a K-pop girl group.

Naviyd, aged 15, garnered attention this month after contacting pop singer PinkPantheress on Instagram using his father’s phone. His interaction with PinkPantheress led to an invitation to attend her concert, which Naviyd eagerly accepted. On April 21, Naviyd delighted fans by sharing pictures from the concert featuring himself and the singer.

As Naviyd’s online presence gained traction, followers discovered his fondness for another music group—Red Velvet, a popular K-pop girl group.

On April 25, a user on X (formerly Twitter) revealed that Naviyd not only follows Red Velvet’s official Instagram account but also the personal accounts of all the group members. Intrigued by this revelation, fans flooded Naviyd’s comment section with inquiries about his Red Velvet bias and favorite songs.

In response to questions, Naviyd shared that his bias from Red Velvet is Seulgi, one of the group’s talented members. Moreover, he surprised fans by listing multiple favorite Red Velvet tracks, including “BAMBOLEO,” “Automatic,” “Be Natural,” “Dumb Dumb,” and “Anywhere But Home.”

Given Naviyd’s history of reaching out to his favorite artists, speculations arose about his potential contact with Red Velvet or their group’s Instagram page. Fans expressed hope that Naviyd might have the opportunity to attend a Red Velvet concert and meet the group in person, similar to his experience with PinkPantheress.
