Red Velvet Member Joy Criticizes SM Entertainment, Causing Frustration Among Fans

On June 24, Red Velvet had scheduled the release of their MV for their new title track, “Cosmic”, at 6PM (KST). This is a highly significant release, as it marks the 10th debut anniversary of the girl group and their special comeback album.

Despite the album being released on music sites and dance challenge videos being posted on TikTok, fans were still unable to find the “Cosmic”MV. SM explained that the delay was to improve the quality of the MV.

Furthermore, Joy from Red Velvet made an appearance on the fan communication platform “Bubble”and indirectly criticized SM Entertainment, stating, “Unfortunately, our opinions were not taken into account and we were left waiting. Eventually, we watched the music video without any changes being made. I am limited in what I can say, so I will remain silent.”

Despite SM Entertainment’s delay of the “Cosmic”MV, fans were even more frustrated by Joy’s words, causing their dissatisfaction to spread across various Internet platforms. Countless negative comments were directed towards the company.

Here are a few remarks from internet users:

So let me get this straight, first lack of promotions for their album and now a delayed mv + the members had literally 0 idea of what’s going on? That company better respects Red Velvet
We need more artists speaking out against the pressures and manipulation of these entertainment companies. Kudos to Red Velvet for being honest and real
She had enough of SM
SM really can’t treat a single group right
I feel bad for them. SM really doesn’t deserve them
What the point of having so many centers??? They have made so many centers and they still can not do a good job
