Hello. This is SM Entertainment.

We are informing you 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, was a great joy for us as well.

We will cherish all the moments we have spent together with them until now, and we will sincerely root for Wendy and Yeri as they make a new start.

Additionally, 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.

We sincerely thank you for the unsparing love you have given Wendy and Yeri up until now, and we hope you will give your warm interest to the two members as they embark on new challenges in their respective paths.

Thank you.
