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.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
