• Red Velvet’s Joy Renews Contract with SM Entertainment for a Beautiful Journey Ahead: "I Want to Move Forward Together"

    Red Velvet’s Joy has made a major decision to continue her journey with SM Entertainment by renewing her contract with the company.

    On January 14, Joy shared her excitement about the renewal, stating, "Based on the trust and faith we've built over the past 10 years, I had deep conversations with those I've been working with and felt that I want to move forward together in a good direction. Through positive synergy with SM, I will do my best to show my various sides to the fans."

    SM Entertainment also expressed their happiness about the renewal, saying, "Following Seulgi and Irene, we are happy to continue this beautiful journey with Joy. We will work hard to allow her to fully demonstrate her limitless potential, not only as a member of Red Velvet but also as a solo artist and actress 'Park Soo-young.'"

    Since Red Velvet’s debut in 2014 with their hit song “Happiness,” the group has gone on to release multiple chart-topping songs such as “Ice Cream Cake,” “Red Flavor,” “Feel My Rhythm,” and “Cosmic,” showcasing their unique concepts and diverse musical styles. The group also celebrated their 10th anniversary last September with a successful Asia fan concert tour, solidifying their strong global influence.

    As a solo artist, Joy has also made a mark. She released her special album Hello in 2021, which was loved by fans of all ages. Known for her clear vocals and iconic charm, Joy has also ventured into hosting TV shows, acting, recording OSTs, and showing off her fashion style.

    Fans are now looking forward to even more from Joy as she continues her journey with SM Entertainment.

  • Lee Jong Suk Shocked after Hearing What’s Happening to NewJeans - Fans Can’t Believe his Reaction to their Legal Battle

    The legal fight between NewJeans and ADOR has officially begun, and actor Lee Jong Suk’s reaction is grabbing attention.

    On April 3, the Seoul Central District Court held the first trial for ADOR’s lawsuit against NewJeans, aiming to confirm the validity of their exclusive contracts. This follows the court’s previous decision on March 21, which sided with ADOR and blocked the members from carrying out entertainment activities.

    NewJeans previously argued for contract termination based on 11 reasons, including issues with Min Hee Jin’s removal as ADOR’s CEO, claims that HYBE undervalued their success, and even allegations that HYBE considered “ruining” their brand.

    However, the court dismissed all of these claims. In response, the members expressed their frustration through international media, calling the ruling “shocking” and saying, “It seems like South Korea wants to turn us into revolutionaries.”

    While fans remain divided, Lee Jong Suk’s reaction has sparked a huge discussion. The actor, known for his calm and reserved personality, was reportedly taken aback by the situation. “This is crazy… What is even happening?” he allegedly said after hearing about the legal battle. His shocked response quickly spread online, with fans agreeing that the situation is beyond belief.

    With NewJeans suspending their activities and ADOR holding the upper hand in court, all eyes are now on how this legal fight will unfold.

    The next steps will determine whether NewJeans can overturn the decision or if ADOR will maintain full control over their careers.
