A few days back, she posted a message on her fan cafe, which alerted the fans about her departure from SM Entertainment. She wrote, “Tomorrow morning, a piece of news concerning me and my agency will be released… “I just wanted to tell you guys first rather than have you see it in an article and be surprised, so I came to you first! So, what I mean to say is, my love for you will not change!”
Then, the agency also announced that Yeri and Wendy are parting ways with them, following their contract expirations on April 4.
“As members of Red Velvet, Wendy and Yeri will be working with us for their group activities, and we ask that you look forward to Red Velvet’s shining journey that will continue to unfold,” the agency added in their official statement.
Meanwhile, fans are also looking forward to her official solo debut. She is the only Red Velvet member who didn’t release a solo album under SM Entertainment.
