Red Velvet’s Joy spoke about how she feels as she takes on her first acting comeback project in four years. The production presentation for the new drama “The One and Only Romance” was held on the afternoon of the 9th at Stanford Hotel Korea in Sangam-dong, Seoul, and Joy, Kim Hyun-jin, Shin Hyun-seung, Kang Na-eon, and director Kim Ji-nyoung attended. That day, Joy said about how she felt ahead of the release of her comeback project after four years, “It is true that I worried whether I would be able to do well. However, when I read the script, it was a warm work. I approached the project with the feeling that it would be good to do a warm work with warm people.” Joy continued, “At the time of filming, the older sisters of Red Velvet sent a coffee truck to support me. I was really very moved. They must have been busy with their own individual schedules, but they looked forward to when the drama would be released. I am also scheduled to appear on the radio that Wendy hosts this time, so I think I will ask her then whether she watched it or listened to it.” “The One and Only Romance” is a mutual fan-activity romance between ordinary job seeker Gong Yu-il (Joy), who accidentally becomes the manager of Tak Mu-i (Kim Hyun-jin), and top star Tak Mu-i, who hides the wounds caused by stalking. In Korea, it will be released on TVING at 6 p.m. on the 9th, and in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa on Viu, and in Japan on ABEMA.
