Crush Deletes Photos of Girlfriend Joy From His Instagram, What Happened?

Crush is found to have removed the photos of his girlfriend, Red Velvet’s Joy, from his Instagram. Even the MV “Mayday,” where they starred together, now has a black thumbnail, presumably changed by Crush himself.

Though they still follow each other on Instagram, suspicions arise regarding potential changes in their relationship.

After the news broke, netizens were once again buzzing with discussion. Throughout this year, the Korean entertainment scene has been consistently rocked by the dating lives of celebrities. The drama involving Han So Hee – Ryu Jun Yeol and Hyeri is still ongoing, while Crush has made a one-sided move that has stirred things up with Joy. The fact that Crush has been discreetly removing posts related to Joy has sparked rumors that perhaps the celebrity couple has decided to go their separate ways.

However, rather than feeling regretful, fans seem to breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing that the breakup between Crush and Joy might be true. What was once a beloved couple has gradually faced opposition from Red Velvet fans due to suspicions of disrespect towards Joy that surfaced towards the end of 2023. Specifically, in a program in November 2023, Crush faced criticism for his interaction with singer Sung Si Kyung.

Red Velvet fans felt that Joy was disrespected when Crush responded with laughter to Sung Si Kyung’s statement: “I see being an idol is great, but now there are too many people wanting to go this way. I want to show you that it’s totally possible to become an artist and then date an idol.”

Crush and Joy’s relationship came to light in August 2021, following their collaboration on Crush’s single ‘Mayday.’ Their friendship blossomed into romance.
