Meanwhile, Cha Woo Ri is a direct and cold flight attendant who has worked tirelessly all her life. Finally, Kim Woo Ri has been diligently preparing for a civil service exam for years. However, she is currently on a break after being diagnosed with a panic disorder.

Reportedly, Joy has been offered the role of Cha Woo Ri. There’s no information yet on the role proposed for Kim Hye Yoon. Still, her involvement would undoubtedly add significant star power to the series.

“The Year We Turned 29” was initially scheduled for production as a drama in the latter half of 2020. However, the series was postponed but is now back in preparation for production. The revival of the project has sparked excitement among fans of the webtoon and followers.

As fans await further updates, the prospect of seeing Joy and Kim Hye Yoon together in a drama brings a fresh wave of anticipation. Their potential chemistry and the engaging storyline promise a compelling viewing experience. Needless to say, “The Year We Turned 29” as a highly anticipated drama.

Several clips of K-pop girl group Red Velvet went viral recently for their latest performance at an event  in Indonesia. However, one of the group’s members, Joy, was called out for her appearance.

In the girl group’s performance at the said show, some netizens noticed that Joy had a sudden weight gain. 

On the paid service app Bubble, the singer gave a health update to Red Velvet’s fanbase also known as Luvies. 

“There are a lot of luvies who are worried and curious about year-end me. I’m kinda worried about saying this. But since I didn’t fully recover when I went on a hiatus this year, my health got worse because of recent activities,” the singer opened up.

To note, Joy went on a hiatus in April to focus on her declining health. But after only about two months of getting rest, the singer immediately resumed her activities in June. 

Taking the recent matter into consideration, the singer and her agency, SM Entertainment, had a discussion regarding her activities. Both parties decided to allow the singer to focus on her health for the rest of the year.  Moreover, she then clarified that she won’t be going on a full hiatus unlike last time.

At the end of her message, Joy left an apology to her fans. “I always want to show you the best of myself but it doesn’t go as well as I want. I’m sorry,” she said.

Fans’ unwavering support for Joy

Following the unsolicited comments that Joy received, many of her fans were quick to jump to her defense.  On social media, Reveluvs reassured the artist with warm and positive remarks. Furthermore, a lot of fans expressed their continued support for the artist especially since she had a tough year. 

One fan wrote: “Joy gaining a bit of weight does not make her any less beautiful than she was before. Meanwhile, others said that the singer is “beyond beautiful in any shape.”

RED VELVET’s Joy Shares Pet Dog Haetnim’s MBTI

Joy revealed that her pet dog Haetnim possesses a personality that closely mirrors her own. The RED VELVET member says that her furry companion has the same MBTI as her!

Joy Says Her Pet Dog Haetnim Has The Same MBTI as Her

On the November 26 episode of SBS’s “TV Animal Farm”, the show delved into the topic of the DBTI (Dog Behavior Type Indicator) test. Joy, who was a guest on the episode, took a moment to discuss her pet dog Haetnim. According to the RED VELVET member, the DBTI test shed light on her dog’s behavior type, revealing that Haetnim’s personality aligns remarkably well with hers.

Joy confirmed that her own MBTI is INFJ and her pet dog Haetnim has the same DBTI. “I’m the homebody style who is only really active when I’m at home, and Haetnim is also introverted. When we go out for a walk, she wants to go back home quickly.”

She then added, “Come to think of it, it seems like dogs and their owners have similar tendencies.”

It’s an interesting idea that certainly makes sense considering that Haetnim may have learned to adapt to Joy’s own personality. With that in mind, it sounds like the two are the perfect match.

Joy’s revelation about her dog Haetnim sharing a similar personality with her adds an endearing layer to their bond. The harmony in their connection, as unveiled through the DBTI test, highlights the close relationship between the RED VELVET idol and her furry companion.
