In the latest teaser for her album "From JOY, with Love," Red Velvet's Joy showcases her signature sexy, dynamite charm through monochrome photos filled with artistic nuances. She also revealed her involvement in writing the lyrics for two songs on her debut mini-album.
On Tuesday, August 12, 2025, at 12:00 AM KST (Monday, August 11, 2025, at 10:00 PM WIB), the photos and short video teaser for "Self Love" were released on Red Velvet's official social media accounts.
Unlike previous teasers filled with bright colors, this edition is dominated by monochrome. Without the distraction of color, Joy's eyes, expressions, body gestures, and hair texture stand out even more.
With a confident pose, the woman whose real name is Park Soo Young exudes a sexy aura of confidence that aligns with the theme of "Self-Love." This visual also reminds fans of her nickname, "Sexy Dynamite."
In several other photos, the woman born on September 3, 1996, appears playful while playing with heart-shaped candies, a symbol of self-love, demonstrating her comfort in being herself.
The combination of Joy's dual charm and the message of "Self-Love" has received a positive response from ReVeluvs worldwide.
