Both said public things about their company.

Why was Soyeon considered hypocritical but not Joy for re-signing
-
-
Cuz both are very different
There's a difference between saying " my contract ends in november, no one can stop me,i don't care anymore, feel free to come at me"
Which clearly indicate the fact that she don't plan of renewing after her contract ends in november, and that's why she don't care about what her company can say to her
And what Joy said
Joy never indicate explicitely her wish to not renew
She share her discontent with how SM manage red velvet activities
And fans interpreted this as unhappy = she'll not renew

to be fair, Soyeon didn’t say she doesn’t want to renew either. Just that the (original) contract will end and she doesn’t care, maybe because she already had a new contract lined up

Soyeon was just teasing and making noise, she's a rapper - that's what they do.
Joy on the other hand went to Bubble, where it's really only fans and assuming she's there to be honest with them, her complaints were more serious. But it was only Soyeon who got held to higher standards for some reason.

You are on point. Soyeon's dislike was more clear to the public so it got more attention. At least from my point of view, a casual listener only both of their groups.

I guess we're just going to conveniently ignore that the things they said were completely different.
Joy never even (publicly) made her discontent with SM about her contract or her employment status in general, while Soyeon and her groupmates directly brought it up multiple times, acting like they couldn't wait to leave Cube and were literally counting down the days. No one in RV has ever mentioned their contracts, whether they've already renewed or not. Wendy has even gone as far as avoiding the subject when fans allude to it.
Their situations couldn't be more different.

Except gidle never seriously said they wanted to leave, it was all under the context of humor or shock factor. "oh, contract ending soon...hehe" They literally never expressed any serious admonitions against Cube except their wifi is slow. While Joy had serious issues with SM which she said on an app literally anyone can download, hence it's public. I'll tell you the real difference, gidle had a big leverage over Cube when it comes to negotiations as they were their one true money maker. On the other hand Joy had literally ZERO bargaining power, there's nothing of consequence to SM's bottom line if Joy left. So gidle was teasing because they had a certain amount of power, while Joy was in a more serious predicament career-wise.

So Idle told you personally that they were just joking the entire time? Because unless you can read minds, I don't know how any us could be expected to know that, especially after Soyeon started ramping up the hoopla towards the end of her contract.
I'm just going to ignore your typical RV hatred and the absurd notion that SM would lose nothing of consequence, but I'll agree with the notion that Soyeon holds significantly more power in Cube than Joy does in SM, which only makes Joy's grievances more understandable by comparison. Soyeon most likely had Cube by the balls the whole time and still made a public commotion out of her contract status, while Joy voiced her concerns as an employee of lower status without ever publicly threatening to quit, jokingly or otherwise. Again, polar opposites in how they handled whatever displeasure they may have had with their employers. If you're correct and all Soyeon ever had to genuinely complain about was the company's wifi, then guess what, that only amplifies the difference.

It's actually the difference
Joy would have much more options than soyeon would have
Joy is someone who can sing, act and MC
with already tons of experience in all of them, her curriculum vitae is much more interesting than soyeon one.
And Joy is one of the most popular members of Red velvet
And already have tons of solo brand deal
With a solo song who enter in the top 20 of Melon chart which prove her popularity among the GP
I like soyeon but let's not be delusional
Soyeon isn't even the most popular member of Gidle
Her experience in the entertainement industry is only producing, composing and being an idol
Just the fact that she only have experience in these limit the agencies that could be interested in her
So the only agency that would be interested in her would be companies who manage singer
The problem is that solo artist doesn't gain enough money from their money, a big part of their money come from advertising
The problem with soyeon is that visually she doesn't fit the korean standard of beauty so brand aren't really interested in her cuz she's not the type of artist the public will see in an ad and think " she's so pretty it makes me want to buy this CC cream or this makeup"
And on the other hands even after all these years being the face of the group in GIDLE, she have a really low popularity among the GP
That's why after 8 years of activity she had pretty much no solo brand deal or ads in contrary of members like minnie or miyeon.
And to finish if Soyeon wants to quit Cube, she'll have to pursue a singing career in solo
And her past solo all flopped hard so who wants to hire a singer artist that all their previous solo stuff flopped and didn't enter the chart.
All the money soyeon would make in solo it's thanks to her royalties with gidle songs, and it's money that her new company wouldn't have a percentage on it.
So looking at all of these who would want to fight to hire someone who wouldn't be able to bring them money.
Soyeon is valuable in a group cuz she can bring her qualities as producer, composer and rapper and her flaw can be fill by other members but tbh as a soloist i don't see much value in Soyeon.
She's not a soloist like exo members who have such a big and loyal fanbase that they can secure big sales wherever they are.
She's not a soloist like taemin or taeyeon who already proved themselves to the public by having solo hit.
And she's not a soloist like Suzy or Yoona who can both venture in singing, acting and can secure tons of brand deals thanks to theor visual.
So it's hard to see what a company would gain to hire soyeon more than joy
So thinking that Joy only renew with SM cuz she didn't have any other options
And that if soyeon and joy both quit, soyeon would have more opportunities at her door is a very narrow minded opinions

This is a just a massive pile of cope. Soyeon has a track records of giving gidle massive hits which enabled the group to increase their profile and tour many countries, making Cube piles of cash. Not knocking down Joy but she has nowhere near Soyeon's profitability potential to her company SM. She had acting gig after acting gig that bombed, she had decent charting with her cover song but streaming just pays pennies, and she hosts a kids animal show. Nothing that she does or has done has made SM any amount of significant money. The main thing the companies care about is making money, and anyone with business sense and not SM fan glasses would know that keeping Soyeon is a more important business move from the perspective of Cube compared to SM keeping Joy. Joy can cook, clean, do commercial modeling, blah blah, that literally matter nothing to SM unless she's at the it-girl league, which she isn't.

Wow the whole point went way above your head
Cuz the question wasn't which one is more profitable to their company but who would have more options outside of their companies and i stick to my opinion !
now if you don't agree then i'm ready to hear your argument and debate about it
but stick to the real question, don't go make a whole pavey completely out of subject

And that would still be Soyeon because of her track record and results. You are just reducing things to “well Joy is prettier so companies will want her more”. And missing the obvious that her producing skills which generated Cube a ton of money would be sought after by other companies
