What Happened to Red Velvet Joy?
The news came out after Red Velvet Joy seemingly missed the remaining part of the group's R to V concert in Singapore.
She joined the four members during the Feel My Rhythm and Queendom performances. But after playing one of the VCRs, only the four members appeared on stage to perform I Just.
Wendy then told the crowd that Joy fell ill and that she could not perform for the rest of the concert.
"She said to us not to worry, she's okay. She just wanted to show you guys a better performance later on, so she doesn't want you guys to worry that much," Wendy continued.
Despite not appearing on stage, Joy impressed everyone when she continued singing from the backstage.
