Wendy of Red Velvet is set to return as a solo artist with a new album scheduled for release in September 2025. The comeback will mark her first solo project in approximately one year and six months since her second mini-album, ‘Wish You Hell,’ was released in March 2024.
First comeback for Wendy since signing with new agency
Wendy’s upcoming release is especially significant as it will be her first album under ASND, following her recent transition from SM Entertainment. Fans and music experts are curious to see how her style might change with the new label. They are also wondering if she will still keep the unique voice and artistry she’s known for.
The news was officially confirmed by her agency, Ascend, on July 24. A representative stated,
Wendy will be making a comeback in September. She is preparing hard for her first solo comeback in a long time, so we ask for your support and interest.
Strong track record with ‘Wish You Hell’
Nevertheless, Wendy’s previous solo album, ‘Wish You Hell,’ was a big hit around the world. It reached number one on iTunes in 21 countries and topped the sales charts on China’s QQ Music. These wins helped show that Wendy is a strong solo artist, not just a member of Red Velvet
Expanding career as a multi-faceted entertainer
Outside of music, Wendy’s been connecting with fans through various platforms. The KBS 2TV show ‘Bangpan Music: Wherever You Go’ praised her for her live vocals. She also runs her own YouTube series called ‘Today is Wendy’. In this series, she shows off her fun personality and wide range of talents.
Wendy started out with Red Velvet in 2014 and helped create some of their biggest songs like “Ice Cream Cake,” “Red Flavor,” “Psycho,” and “Cosmic.”
Meanwhile, Red Velvet’s Wendy will return as a solo artist, with a new album scheduled for release in September 2025. Stay tuned for official announcements and upcoming content.
