Red Velvet's Joy expressed dissatisfaction with her agency SM Entertainment. Amid the lack of announcement of Joy's re-signing with SM, there are voices speculating that negotiations for the re-signing are difficult. Yesterday (24th), Red Velvet made a comeback with the new album "Cosmic." The album quickly rose to the top of the iTunes album charts in 41 regions worldwide. However, delays in the release of the music video led to complaints from fans. Joy also expressed her frustration through a paid fan communication platform, stating that she was disappointed with the lack of improvements in the music video despite waiting without any input. Other members also apologized for the delay in the release. Joy has shown exceptional affection for this album since before its release. However, she revealed her doubts about SM's secretive promotion schedule for the new song. Following Suzy in August last year and Irene in February this year, SM announced the re-signing of Joy, Wendy, and Yeri has not been officially announced yet. Fans are worried that the relationship between SM and Joy may be drifting apart. *This article is based on interviews with local media. ・Red Velvet, title track "Cosmic" MV released... mysterious atmosphere ・Red Velvet's new album "Cosmic" tops iTunes charts in 41 regions worldwide!
