Red Velvet's Joy Looks More Gorgeous Than Ever In First Appearance After Hiatus

Red Velvet‘s Joy is back and looking better than ever! After a brief hiatus due to health issues, our favorite idol is ready to delight us all with her stunning beauty and unending charm. She’s now ready to take the stage again, and her first appearance did not disappoint.

In April, SM Entertainment announced that Joy would be taking a step back from her activities to focus on her health. As a result, the Red Velvet star missed out on multiple Red Velvet overseas schedules, including the Asian and European leg of the group’s latest tour R to V.

After a two-month-long silence from the company and the idol, SM finally announced Joy would be making her long-awaited comeback to her activities on June 21.

Joy has been focusing on rest and recovery, and her health has drastically improved. After thorough discussions with our team and medical staff, she has decided to return to her activities. We’re extremely grateful for all the fans who showed unwavering support and encouragement for Joy during her time of need.

Today, Joy made her first public appearance since the announcement of her hiatus, and let’s just say, her glow was unmissable. She stepped out wearing a stylish, crisp white dress, perfectly complemented by a classy white purse and matching boots. Her ensemble exuded an aura of refreshing elegance and innocent charm, proving that a hiatus does nothing to dim the shine of a true star.

This time, she opted for a casual yet chic look, donning a vibrant red polo shirt paired with a trendy short jean skirt. Her straight, brown hair flowed freely, with an adorable white barrette adding a playful touch to her outfit.
