Joy, a member of the girl group Red Velvet, recalled the anxiety she felt ahead of her contract renewal with her agency SM Entertainment.
On the episode of KBS 2TV 'The Seasons - Sung Si-kyung's High-Frequency Boyfriend' broadcast on the 11th, EXO's D.O., Joy, BIG Naughty, and Kwon Eun-bi appeared, showcasing diverse stages and sharing honest stories.
That day, Joy opened the 'Two People' segment with bright and refreshing energy by presenting her first solo album title track 'Hello (Hello)'. Reflecting on her recent feelings while preparing for a full-group comeback of Red Velvet, Joy said, "It was my contract renewal season two years ago, and I was very anxious that the group might end." However, she added, "I confirmed the firm hearts of the members and wanted to convey those feelings to the fans," sharing the sincerity contained in the title track for which she wrote the lyrics herself.
She also openly shared personal concerns. Joy said, "At 29, I was no longer young, and I was anxious that people wouldn't come find me if I wasn't pretty," yet she added, "After turning 30, I feel like I've become one year older again," defining herself as a 'baby in her thirties' to bring laughter.
Joy, who enjoys reading letters from fans, performed Park Jung-hyun's 'I'll Write You a Letter' on the spot and revealed that she passed her first audition by singing Park Jung-hyun's 'I Hope It Would Be Like This Now,' deepening their special connection. Sharing news that she would take on new challenges in acting as actress Park Soo-young, including starring in a new drama and dubbing for an animation, Joy concluded by singing 'Cocktail Love' with Sung Si-kyung, completing a sweet harmony.
Joy is currently in an open relationship with fellow singer Crush.
