The release of a new full-group Instagram Reel featuring Red Velvet has sparked concern among fans due to the noticeably thinner appearances of members Joy and Wendy.
On the 28th, a Reel video showcasing Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, Joy, and Yeri was uploaded to Red Velvet’s official social media channels. While fans expressed delight over the long-awaited full-group content ahead of their upcoming comeback, Joy and Wendy’s slender frames quickly became a hot topic online.
In the video, Joy drew significant attention with arms and legs that appeared even thinner than usual. Known and loved within Red Velvet for her tall stature and healthy image, fans voiced worry over her visibly gaunt look. Joy had previously raised concern last year after appearing in public with noticeable weight loss.
Wendy also caught attention with a figure markedly slimmer than before. Public concern regarding her weight loss recently escalated during her performance at the ‘2026 Boryeong Mud Festival K-POP SUPER LIVE,’ where her shoulder-exposing outfit highlighted her noticeably thin arms and prominent shoulder blades.
Netizens reacted with concern, leaving comments such as: “She looks so much thinner than before,” “I hope she takes good care of her health,” “I hope she isn’t dieting too excessively,” “A comeback is great, but health comes first,” and “She needs to prioritize her health if she wants to promote for a long time.”
Meanwhile, Red Velvet is scheduled to meet fans with the release of their new mini-album, ‘Velvet Summer,’ on August 3rd.
