The music video of their lead title track was also released.
The "Chill Kill" music video opens with Red Velvet members portraying as sisters who are celebrating the birthday of Yeri. But amidst the celebration, Chill Kill arrives and destroys the celebratory vibe in the house.
Wendy demonstrates braveness and sneaks into the room of Chill Kill. However, when members enter, blood on the room floor welcomes them.
After the apparent murder scene, intense arguments escalate between the members.
The scene then transitions to members burning their homes and running away. In the middle of their sweet escape, they were immediately caught by the police, but they did not falter as they are seen dancing.
The music video ends with members holding hands and smiling in front of a police car.
In a message sent to fans on the Bubble platform, Seulgi said "Chill Kill" conveys a message that "no matter what happens, no matter what hardship we go through, we can transform and grow."
She then thanked fans for listening to "Chill Kill" and the whole album.
"We are on our 10th year now, didn't expect to receive this much love," Seulgi said.
Debuted in 2014, Red Velvet is composed of five members namely Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, Joy, and Yeri.
In May this year, the nine-year-old girl group went to the Philippines and held their "R to V" concert.
