Red Velvet’s Joy Shocks With Dramatic Hair Transformation At Wedding
Red Velvet’s Joy has surprised fans with a completely new look, leaving everyone talking about her drastic hair change. The idol recently showed off her new style while attending her sister’s wedding, and fans can’t stop talking about her new appearance.
Until recently, Joy had long, wavy strawberry-blonde hair that perfectly framed her face — a look she kept throughout her recent fanmeet event in Seoul.

But in newly shared photos from her sister’s wedding, the star looks almost unrecognizable with her short bob, full bangs, and dark brown hair.
According to fans, the change wasn’t just for fun — it’s for her upcoming K-Drama. On September 30, SM Entertainment confirmed that Joy has been cast as the lead in One of a Kind Romance, a K-Drama based on a webtoon that ran from 2018 to 2021. The story follows a job seeker whose life takes an unexpected turn after meeting a top celebrity and an idol.

Many fans have connected her new look to her debut K-Drama character, Yoon Sorim, who had a similar hairstyle. The nostalgic callback has only fueled excitement for her upcoming project.
