SM Entertainment Comments On Red Velvet Joy’s Contract Status

Despite SM’s clarification, the report has fueled speculation and divided opinions. Many netizens hope that Joy will not abandon her singing career entirely to pursue acting. Joy’s solo cover album was well-received, and fans have expressed disappointment at the possibility of her focusing solely on acting.

  • “No need to pay attention to these comments. Joy will make her own decision.”
  • “Joy, fighting! But her solo album was so good it’s a shame. I hope she releases another one.”
  • “Joy, fighting! No matter what she does, her voice is so beautiful. I hope she keeps singing.”
  • “An actress???”
  • “I respect whatever choice she makes.”
  • “Solo album ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ”
  • “Aaaah, whatever happens, I just hope she keeps singing.”
  • “I think Sooyoung (Joy) would do well on YouTube, but since she’s the type to be affected by negative comments for her mental health, I kind of hope she doesn’t. I just want her to do what she wants but not be too active onlineㅠ”

However, there are also those who support her potential transition into acting. Some believe it’s natural for idols with acting experience to move into that field as their careers evolve. Others, though, have expressed concern that switching agencies could make it harder for Joy to maintain her popularity.

Joy’s public dating life has also been mentioned as a factor that could impact her popularity, especially in Korea, where such matters can affect an idol’s career. Nonetheless, many fans stand by her, wishing her success in whatever path she chooses.

  • “When idols reach a certain number of years, it’s best for those who’ve tried acting to transition fully into acting. In that case, it’s better to move to an agency that focuses on actors. I don’t understand why people criticize that.”
  • “Hehe… no comment.”
  • “Center 3 is really…”
  • “These days, even if idols leave, they still release albums.”
  • “Since the idol publicly dated, lol, it’s going to be harder to gain more popularity.”
  • “But somehow, that sparkling vibe from the past seems to be gone. She kind of stands out on their own now.”
  • “Since she’s leaving anyway, I hope she gets into a good place where she’ll be really supported as an actor… But if an agency already has top actors or rising stars, everything tends to revolve around them.”
