Earlier today, SM Entertainment updated fans on Joy’s condition through a statement shared on KWANGYA CLUB. The statement mentioned the Red Velvet star would halt all activities in order to undergo treatment and rest after it was advised by doctors. Her absence from Red Velvet’s upcoming shows, part of their tour, in Asia was also announced by each venue. While it’s disappointing that she won’t be able to join her fellow members on stage, fans are supportive of her decision to prioritize her health and well-being.

Joy recently visited a hospital due to her poor condition and, following an examination and counseling, received the opinion from the doctors that treatment and rest were required.

Therefore, Joy will not participate in any schedules for the time being and will instead take a break to recover her health.

R to V will be Red Velvet’s first tour in Europe, with a large dedicated following full of fans that have waited years to attend one of their concerts. It will also be their first major tour overall since the 2019 Redmare tour, which had stops in Asia and the United States.

Meanwhile, SM Entertainment announced that the decision to temporarily halt Joy’s activities was made following thorough discussions with her and vowed to do their best in helping Joy recover.

We will do our best to help Joy meet her fans in good health soon, and we will let you know as soon as possible once Joy will resume her activities.
