The announcement comes just hours after the group's management, SM Entertainment, said Joy would take a break from her promotional activities to focus on recovering from an unspecified health condition.

SM said Joy "recently visited a hospital due to her poor health condition" and was "advised that she needs treatment and rest," according to a report from K-pop news website Soompi.

"Accordingly, Joy plans to take a break from participating in her scheduled activities for the time being and focus on recovering her health condition," SM said in a statement, as per Soompi.

"We apologize to fans for causing concern, and we ask for the generous understanding of fans that this decision was made after thorough discussion for the sake of Joy’s health," it added.

During the latest stop for the "R to V" tour in Singapore, Joy left the stage early, with Wendy explaining that the singer was "not feeling well," according to a report by local newspaper The Straits Times.

Red Velvet debuted in 2014 with the single "Happiness." The quintet's other notable hits include "Red Flavor," "Bad Boy" and "Psycho."

The group previously performed in the country in July 2022 for the "Be You" advocacy concert.
