Red Velvet Joy’s Gorgeous Solo Debut Teasers Spark Viral Edit Trends Across Social Media
With Red Velvet‘s Joy set to release her solo debut remake album, Hello, in less than a week, all six of her track teaser sets have finally been revealedโand they’re causing excitement among non-ReVeluvs too. Across social media platforms like Twitter, K-Pop fans have been so drawn to Joy’s unique and adorable ’90s and ’00s-themed teasers that they had to Photoshop their own idols trying out the concept. Let’s take a look at some of the Joy teasers that have gone viral over the past week and the Photoshop “edit” trends they’ve spawned.
1. “Hello”
The first teaser that gained attention across social media was the track poster for Joy’s debut title track, “Hello”โa modern rock remake of the 2003 song “Goodbye” by Park Hye Kyung.
The adorable retro poster combines cute shots of Joy against a white background combined with various stickers representing different parts of her life, from a kiwi (her representative fruit) to her Maltese dog, Haetnim. Here are some of the top edits “Hello” inspired across Twitter.
