According to Universal Pictures Korea, Wendy will be reprising her role of Poppy in the third installment of the movie series. Previously, Wendy has lent her voice to Poppy in the Korean dub of the second movie, Trolls: World Tour. Since she already received praise for her exceptional voice acting in the previous film, Wendy is anticipated to continue bringing her unique charm to the character in the latest movie.

On the other hand, Eunseok from RIIZE will take on the role of Branch, the golden youngest member of the idol group Bro Zone. Notably, said character was previously voiced by actor and ex-SF9 member Rowoon. As this will be the first dubbing project for Eunseok, fans are happy with this opportunity for the rookie idol to charm more fans with his low-pitched voice.

Meanwhile, Trolls: Band Together will follow Poppy and Branch as they try to reunite the disbanded idol group Bro Zone due to a feud among the members. It is slated to hit Korean theaters on December 20.

Moreover, Korean media also reported that Wendy and Eunseok will also participate in various events and contents to promote the film.

Other projects aside from ‘Trolls: Band Together’

The news about Trolls: Band Together came amidst Wendy and Eunseok’s promotional activities for their respective groups.

On October 27, RIIZE made their first-ever comeback with the single “Talk Saxy.” Notably, the single came after the massive success of their debut album Get A Guitar, which made them million-sellers within a week of its release.

Meanwhile, Red Velvet released their third full-length album Chill Kill on November 17. To note, the album marks the group’s first full-length release in six years.

RED VELVET Postpones Concerts After Wendy COVID-19 Diagnosis

RED VELVET is putting a stop to their upcoming show dates in Bangkok. The girl group postponed their forthcoming concerts in Thailand after Wendy tested positive for COVID-19.

RED VELVET’s Wendy Tests Positive For COVID-19

On May 10, SM Entertainment confirmed that Wendy tested positive for COVID-19. “Wendy felt unwell and underwent a rapid antigen test,” the agency announced. After the positive diagnosis, Shon Seung-wan halted all activities. She will not be able to host her SBS radio show “Wendy’s Young Street”.

Wendy has been in quarantine due to her condition and the rest of RED VELVET will be taking a break as well. Following the announcement, concert organizer SM True announced the indefinite postponement of the group’s upcoming ‘R to V’ concerts in Bangkok. The girl group was scheduled for two dates on May 13 and 14 at THUNDER DOME.

“Due to the artist’s health condition necessitating quarantine in accordance with the COVID-19 measures mandated by the South Korean government, as well as other factors and schedules that require further consideration and evaluation by all relevant parties involved, the concert has been postponed indefinitely,” the statement read.

“The company prioritizes the health and safety of the artists, audiences and staff, as a top concern,” it continues. “For a ticket refund, the company will promptly provide detailed information regarding the ticket refund process.”

RED VELVET Takes A Break As Wendy and Joy Recover From Health Issues

Wendy isn’t the only member of RED VELVET with health issues. Joy has been on temporary hiatus due to undisclosed health issues and the group has been promoting with four members. With Wendy unable to perform, it only makes sense that RED VELVET chose to postpone the shows.

For now, the new dates for the ‘R to V’ concerts in Bangkok have not yet been announced. However, REVELUVs are already hoping for an announcement in a fortnight. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
