Through a paid fan communication platform, Joy responded to a fan's request for a music video reaction by saying, "Well, they didn't listen to our opinions at all and just told us to wait, so we just watched the unedited music video."
She added, "I shouldn't say more, so I'll stay quiet," and included a crying emoji, drawing attention.
Joy had previously expressed dissatisfaction before the album release, stating that SM Ent was not promoting Red Velvet's new release. At the time, Joy said, "I'm also wondering whether it's supposed to be a secret, they forgot to announce it, or they're planning to release it next week." However, SM had already planned and was preparing to proceed with Red Velvet's promotion.
-Why blame the artist when it’s clearly the company’s fault?
-Don’t you guys have complaints about your own companies? Of course, she can speak up.
-Where is this 'debate' even happening?
-I don’t think she said anything wrong.
-She should speak up; nothing will change if she stays silent.
-Imagine how bad it must have been for her to say this.
-Honestly, Red Velvet has been through this multiple times. She has every right to criticize.
-Red Velvet isn’t a rookie or unpopular group; they have a strong fandom. If they can’t even speak up on their 10th anniversary, who can?
-It actually shows how dedicated she is to her group; I appreciate her honesty.
-Red Velvet has been around for years, she should be able to speak up. This album’s songs and promo have been disappointing. The girls are talented, why is the company doing this to them?
-I don’t think she did anything wrong, she actually did a good thing. Imagine how bad it must be for her to say this.
-In a regular company, Red Velvet members would be senior managers, therefore she should be able to speak up. Imagine how frustrated she must be.
-Given the quality of the music video, she had every right to speak up.
