Red Velvet Joy Speaks Up Regarding Health Concerns, Addresses Luvies' Worries

Earlier on December 14, a forum was opened to discuss Joy, who seemingly appeared with weight changes in Red Velvet's performance at the 12. 12 Lazada Fest, on December 14, in Indonesia. This discussion sparked anger among Korean and international ReVeluvs.

The post was filled by fans, who argued that the reason for Joy's sudden change in appearance was because of the hiatus she went through on April 26. SM Entertainment shared that Joy would temporarily halt her activities due to poor health.

However, some insisted that the main problem in the photos was Joy's styling. Netizens called out Joy's stylist for not overseeing her measurements.

Joy continued that during Red Velvet's newest promotions and activities, she began to feel unwell again. However, she assured fans that she'll focus on her health more in 2024.

Read her message below:

"Well there are a lot of ReVeluvs who are worried and curious about me at the end of the year. I'm worried if I have to say this, but I didn't feel completely better when I was off schedule this year.

So I decided to take care of my health for next year's activities after consulting with the company since the danger signal was turned on again during our latest activities."

"I always want to show you 100 percent of the best, but I apologize since it didn't go my way."

"But that doesn't mean that we're not going to stop our activities like last time."

"I'm going to work hard next year, so I have to exercise hard and build up my body. I've used up all my muscles that I've been working on for two years (laughing)."

Netizens empathized with Joy and called out the haters who pointed out her weight. They expressed support for the idol's recovery and advised her to focus on the love of endearing fans. Read their comments below:

•  "She's sick, you know."
•  "Joy is probably the most annoyed and stressed person who has the hardest time with the weight gain, so I hope people would stop nagging her."
•  "Don't look at them, Joy. Focus only on the positive comments."
•  "You all knew she was sick this year and went through a break, but she still got hated. Are you guys trolls or demons? I hope you guys get sued."
