Wendy to Release her Solo Album 7 Years after Her Debut

Following Irene and Seulgi, who debuted as a sub-unit in 2020, Wendy is now ready to take on the soloist career as she prepares for her solo album.

In particular, Wendy debuted as a group member of Red Velvet, releasing "Happiness," in August 2014. With her golden voice, she got the main vocalist position in the group.

Since then, Wendy is not only considered as one of the most talented vocalists in SM Entertainment, but she also captured K-pop enthusiasts' hearts for her outstanding singing ability, clear and warm vocals, as well as delicate expression in singing.

Aside from the skills and ability she showcased as the main singer of Red Velvet, Wendy demonstrated her own vocal color as a solo singer by collaborating with top-notch singers such as John Legend, Yang Da Il, and Eric Nam through SM Station songs.

Furthermore, Wendy is also the singer behind popular drama OSTs such as "Two Words" for "Startup," "My Day is Full of You" for "The King: Eternal Monarch," "Goodbye" for "The Beauty Inside," "I Can Only See You" for "Hwarang," and many more. 

On top of these, fans, specially Reveluvs (fandom of Red Velvet), also anticipate her return to the music scene as a solo artist, following her hiatus due to a stage accident during the group's rehearsal stage of SBS' "Music Awards Festival" in December 2019.
