Red Velvet's Joy has stirred up a debate among netizens with a cryptic post on a fan platform.

On the 24th, responding to a fan's request to do a music video reaction, Joy seemed to criticize SM Entertainment by saying, "Well, they didn't listen to our opinions at all and just told us to wait, but nothing was revised."

This comment came on the same day Red Velvet's new EP 'Cosmic' was released. The music video, which was supposed to drop at the same time as the album at 6 PM, was delayed due to post-production issues.

The team behind the 'Cosmic' music video, Red Production, apologized to fans, saying, "We sincerely apologize and ask for your generous understanding."

However, after the music video was finally released, Joy expressed her dissatisfaction on the fan platform, sparking mixed reactions from netizens.

Some fans sided with her, saying, "It's a 10th-anniversary album, so it's understandable to be disappointed," and "It shows how much Joy cares about the album." Others, however, were critical, saying, "If I were a company employee, this would demoralize me," "She lacks consideration for the company," and "You can't accommodate everyone's personal opinions."

'Cosmic' is Red Velvet's first release in seven months since their third full-length album 'Chill Kill' in November.

The energetic and fun-loving special unit of SEVENTEEN, BSS (Seungkwan, DK, and Hoshi), is ready to return with a bang! Their second single album, "TELEPARTY," will drop on January 8, and fans can’t wait.

At midnight KST on December 27, Pledis Entertainment shared the exciting teaser for BSS’s comeback through HYBE Labels' YouTube channel and SEVENTEEN’s social media. The trailer, titled "How is your youth?", instantly grabbed attention with its touching and inspiring vibe.

The trailer dives deep into the meaning of youth, opening with the question: "What is youth? Is it simply about being young?" It shows everyday moments from people of all ages and ends with the uplifting answer: "Youth is about enjoying the life you’re living at this very moment."

BSS takes on the role of "Youth Protectors," spreading joy and positivity across generations. In the teaser, they give tired students a break, take on extra work for stressed office workers, and even add some romance for two elderly individuals stuck in routine. Their efforts bring smiles, laughter, and a reminder to embrace life’s little moments.

Fans were also thrilled to see a familiar face in the trailer—actor Moon Sang Hoon, famous for his "Moon Saem" character from the YouTube channel Bba-Doners. His comedic interactions with BSS added even more charm and excitement.

The title of the album, "TELEPARTY," combines "Telepathy" and "Party," representing a celebration that connects everyone in the world. Through this concept, BSS sends the heartwarming message: "If you’re happy in this moment, you are living your youth."

Pledis Entertainment revealed that this album has been in the works since early this year and promises top-quality music. Fans can expect not just great songs but also a lot of energy and joy from this special unit.

Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN has been keeping busy with their SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR IN JAPAN, performing ten incredible shows in four domes. They’ll continue their stadium concerts in major cities across Asia in January and February, keeping their momentum strong.

Mark your calendars for January 8 and get ready to party with BSS!
