Red Velvet’s Joy Shows Fresh Charm Against a Green Summer Backdrop

Red Velvet member Joy, also known as Park Soo-young, 29, has shared a recent glimpse of her everyday life, capturing a natural moment against a vivid green outdoor backdrop.

In the update posted on the 5th, Joy stands outdoors with a green forest behind her, holding a bag as she poses in the open air. With the phrase “Hello, summer,” she appeared to welcome the season’s early arrival, matching the fresh mood of the setting.

Joy debuted in 2014 as a member of the girl group Red Velvet with the group’s first single album, “Happiness.” Since then, she has been active as a lead rapper and sub-vocalist within the group.

She has also released the solo special album “Hello.” In addition, her OST track “Introduce Me a Good Person” for the drama “Hospital Playlist” gained strong popularity on music charts.

More recently, Joy released her first solo mini album, “From JOY, with Love.” She also took part in lyric writing for tracks including “Get Up And Dance” and “Unwritten Page,” adding a personal creative role to the project.

Joy has expanded her career into acting as well. In the tvN drama “Geunyeoneun Geojitmareul Neomu Saranghae,” she played Yoon So-rim, the vocalist of a band, and in “The Great Seducer,” she took on the role of Eun Tae-hee. She later appeared as Seong Mi-do in JTBC’s “Han Saramman,” and broadened her acting range in KakaoTV’s “Eojjeoda Jeonwonilgi,” where she played Ahn Ja-young, a veterinarian from the city.

Joy is set to appear in the new drama “Yuilmui Romance” as Gong Yu-il. Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, the work features her as an ordinary job seeker who becomes the manager of a top star.
