Red Velvet’s Joy is currently in discussions with SM Entertainment regarding the renewal of her contract, amid reports that she may be exploring other opportunities.
On September 21st, Star News revealed that Joy has been meeting with actor management companies, sparking rumors that she may be looking for a new agency as her contract with SM nears its end.
In response to these reports, a representative from SM Entertainment stated,
“We are discussing renewing our contract with Joy,” leaving the door open to either a renewal or a potential departure.
Joy’s future has become a topic of interest among fans, especially since her groupmates Seulgi and Irene renewed their contracts with SM based on mutual trust.
Seulgi re-signed in August of last year, while Irene followed in February of this year.
While Joy has found success both as a member of Red Velvet and as an actress, fans are eager to see whether she will continue with SM or move toward new ventures. Her decision could significantly impact her career trajectory and the future of Red Velvet as a whole.
