Wendy’s decision comes after her departure from long-time agency SM Entertainment earlier this month, on April 4th KST. While she will be embarking on new solo opportunities under the ASND banner, ReVeluvs can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Wendy will continue her activities as an indispensable member of Red Velvet.
Interestingly, ASND is already home to a familiar group: fromis_9. Currently, members Song Hayoung, Park Jiwon, Lee Chaeyoung, Lee Nagyung, and Baek Jiheon are signed under the same label. This connection sparks curiosity about potential future interactions and collaborations within the ASND family.
Shortly after the initial reports, ASND officially confirmed the news, stating,
“Red Velvet’s Wendy has signed an exclusive contract with ASND. We are excited to welcome this multi-talented artist. We also intend on fully supporting Wendy’s group activities with Red Velvet.”
