Hello. This is SM Entertainment.
Please be advised that our exclusive contracts with Wendy and Yeri have come to an end.
The time we spent together with Wendy and Yeri, who – after debuting as Red Velvet – were not only active in group promotions, but also as solo artists in various fields, it was a great joy for us as well.
Let’s value every moment we’ve been together with them so far, and we’ll sincerely cheer for Wendy and Yeri while they start again.
Also, as members of Red Velvet, Wendy and Yeri will work with us in their group activities, and we ask you to wait for the Red Velvet’s brilliant journey that will continue to unfold.
We sincerely thank you for the relentless love you have given Wendy and Yeri so far, and we hope you will give your warm interest to both members as they embark on new challenges in their respective ways.
Thanks.
