Popular Girl Group Star Admits To Drinking All Night Before Performing At Music Shows
Red Velvet‘s Joy has recently become a hot topic in South Korea after disclosing surprising details about her pre-music show performance rituals.
Alongside fellow members Seulgi and Yeri, Joy appeared on Shin Dong Yup‘s popular YouTube drinking show to promote their latest comeback, “Cosmic.”
During the episode, the girls shared amusing and unexpected secrets about one another, leading to Joy’s shocking revelation that quickly made headlines.
When the conversation turned to drinking, Joy stunned viewers by confessing that in her early twenties, she would drink until the early hours of the morning, even before she had to perform at music shows. Her confession quickly went viral, making her the second most discussed topic on the popular forum Pann.
In my early 20s, I was completely fine. I’d be out drinking all night and see the sunrise, thinking, ‘This is what being young is about.’

Korean music shows are infamous for their demanding schedules, often requiring idols to start their day extremely early. Depending on their seniority, groups might have to film their stages as early as 5 or 6 AM, which means heading to the hair and makeup studio at 3 or 4 AM.
However, this grueling timetable didn’t deter Joy from enjoying her nights out.

Joy even candidly admitted that she would frequently sleep off her intoxication while getting her hair and makeup done before getting on stage to perform.
Get some hangover cures from the convenience store. Sleep it off during makeup, and get my hair done… Go perform at music shows… and I had the energy to do all that.

Props to Joy for being able to handle such a lifestyle without anyone noticing her condition on stage!
