“I’m Sorry and Thank You” Red Velvet’s Joy Updates Fans on Her Return after a 2-Month Hiatus

Red Velvet member Joy is ending her hiatus due to health problems.

On June 21st, Joy posted several photos taken during her visit to Singapore in April for Red Velvet’s concert on her Instagram with the caption, “First day in Singapore that I couldn’t post. I’m sorry and thank you to the Luvies who waited.“

Joy then posted various everyday photos with the caption, “I could only find these photos that I managed to take. Let’s all stay healthy in body and mind.” This is Joy’s first update on her current situation since announcing her hiatus.

Netizens responded warmly to Joy’s post, “Joy, thank you for coming back,” “I missed you, Park Sooyoung,” “Stay happy and healthy, don’t get sick,” “I’ll wait for you anytime,” “I want to see you soon.” 

Previously, on April 26, Joy’s agency, SM Entertainment said, “Joy recently visited the hospital due to deteriorating health condition and received medical advice that she needs treatment and stability. Joy will temporarily suspend her schedule and focus on resting and recovering her condition.”

Afterward, Joy took a break not only from Red Velvet‘s activities but also temporarily stepped down from her regular appearance on SBS’s ‘Animal Farm’ to concentrate on recovering her condition. 

Yesterday, SM Entertainment said, “Joy plans to resume all activities starting from the recording of the ‘Animal Farm’ program on June 21. She has made significant improvements in her health during the break, and after sufficient discussion with our company and medical staff, she has decided to continue her activities.“
