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.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
