Red Velvet Yeri won't renew with SM + confirmed and Wendy leaving as well

Awww I hope only but the best for her!

So will RV now be the OG4?

took her long enough to realize that SM won't give her even close to what they gave wendy and joy, let alone what irene and seulgi had. should do this years ago

I have a feeling they might be done. Cosmic EP felt like a goodbye even the final song night drive had a goodbye feeling to me. I think Wendy still hast o renew but I could see her departing and look elsewhere for solo work.

So Red Velvet will technically be the first to lose a member before MMM, BP, Twice and GF.

Guess it depends on if she's done with the idol life entirely

honestly I hope that whole RV will leave or just Irene & Seulgi will stay as they are planning next unit release

Why do you want the entire group to leave? There's zero chance of them staying together if that happens. It's also not even possible yet, as three of them already renewed with SM.

No offense to her, but regardless of whether Yeri stays or goes, the group's destiny is probably in Wendy's hands right now. I can see them remaining together as four, but not as three. So hopefully she sorts out whatever beef she currently has with SM. As much as everyone loves to crap on them, myself included, I'm not convinced she'll find another company that can give her everything she desires anyway.

the other 4 can carry

I think she will only leave SM but will take part in RV activities (that will likely reduce) Like SNSD members

Quote from bartkun

because Joy and Yeri want to act

and Wendy's case was really questionable with that SM Town concert when she disappeared out of line up

it's their 11th year as a group + we are in era when more and more members/groups are leaving their first agency and then restarting career as a group in different one

Joy already renewed. Like I said, a majority of the group cannot go anywhere at the moment. I don't share your optimism about groups starting over at another company instead of just disbanding/indefinite hiatus, but it literally isn't possible for RV.
