Red Velvet members' contract renewals: Manager's slip fuels fan hopes!

Red Velvet's Joy was yelled at by an SBS security guard on her way to work on "TV Animal Farm", upsetting fans with his harsh words!

Recently, a short video of Red Velvet member Joy on her way to film SBS's "TV Animal Farm" became a hot topic among Korean netizens. Netizens expressed dissatisfaction over the alleged poor treatment of Joy by SBS staff, sparking public anger. Joy usually interacts actively with her fans on her way to work at "TV Animal Farm". However, she recently encountered an unexpected treatment from a staff member while posing for the reporters. It is reported that an SBS staff shouted at Joy in the designated area for reporters, saying phrases like "Go back!", "Move away!", "I told you to go back!", "Hurry up and get in!", and so forth. At the time, Joy was quite confused and hesitant upon hearing the staff's yelling, not knowing what to do. The staff member continued to shout "Back off!", and Joy then walked towards the building again. Fans who witnessed the situation on the scene commented online: "Usually, this is where 'TV Animal Farm' is filmed. They may not have known it was Joy and were shouting in banmal (informal language)," "It's rude to shout in banmal at anyone! It can hurt feelings!" Netizens have various reactions, saying, "Even if they didn't recognize it was Joy, they probably shouted because she looked easy to bully", "That's really rude", and "Why do they have to talk like that? They should speak nicely," and so on. JTBC News also reported on the incident, conveying its severity. According to JTBC, the staff member, an SBS security guard, apologized to Joy's fans. Reportedly, the staff member stated that there were too many fans on-site and he yelled excessively to ensure safety.  Although the staff apologized, fans pointed out that not only does SBS need to apologize to Joy, but also promise that similar incidents will not happen in the future. Netizens also left comments in related news videos saying, "The behavior of SBS security guards is very serious", "SBS needs to apologize properly", "Even if the president of SBS comes, he shouldn't speak like that", "Don't they consider how uncomfortable the other party would feel?", "They shouldn't speak casually to artists and fans", and other comments. Joy, who had to pause her activities due to health issues in April, has returned to her MC position on "TV Animal Farm" after two months. Fans also hope that Joy won't feel unhappy due to the related events.
