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 that she may be focusing solely on acting.
- “There is no need to pay attention to these comments. Joy will make her decision.”
- “Joy, fight! But his solo album was so good it’s a shame. I hope he puts out another one.”
- “Joy, fighter! No matter what she does, her voice is so beautiful. I hope she continues to sing.”
- “An actress???”
- “I respect whatever choice he makes.”
- “Solo album ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ”
- “Aaaah, whatever happens, I just hope he keeps singing.”
- “I think Sooyoung (Joy) would do well on YouTube, but since she’s the type to be affected by negative comments about her mental health, I really hope not. 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 that it is natural for idols with acting experience to move into that field as their careers evolve. Others, however, have expressed concern that switching agencies could make it harder for Joy to maintain her popularity.
Joy’s public love 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. However, many fans are supportive of her, wishing her success in whatever path she chooses.
- “When idols reach a certain age, it is better for those who have tried acting to switch to acting completely. In that case, it is better to switch to an agency that focuses on actors. I don’t understand why people criticize it.”
- “Ehehe… no comment.”
- “Center 3 is really…”
- “Nowadays, even if idols leave, they continue to release albums.”
- “Since the idol has had a public relationship, lol, it will be harder to gain more popularity.”
- “But somehow, that glittering atmosphere of the past seems to have gone. Now it stands out on its own.”
- “Since she’s leaving anyway, I hope she finds a good place where she’ll be really supported as an actress… But if an agency already has successful actors or rising stars, everything tends to revolve around them.”
