Red Velvet‘s Wendy isn’t holding back! In a recent viral fan meeting clip, the K-Pop idol delivered a surprisingly blunt response to a fan who confessed their dream of working at SM Entertainment, Wendy’s own agency.

During a virtual fan call, a ReVeluv (Red Velvet fan) excitedly told Wendy that their dream company is SM Entertainment. But before the fan could even finish their sentence, Wendy firmly shut down the idea, repeatedly saying “No” and “Don’t.” Her tone and expression left no room for doubt – this was serious advice.

The video, which has racked up over 270,000 views, has fans buzzing about Wendy’s “brutally honest” reaction. While the exact reasons behind her discouragement remain unknown, netizens are speculating wildly.

So funny how SM's 3rd gen is now starting to diss their own company. I'm here for it 😂🤣 THE GIRLS DESERVE BETTER! @SMTOWNGLOBAL

This isn’t the first time Wendy has spoken out about the realities of idol life. Previously, she’s addressed the intense pressures and challenges faced by K-Pop stars. Could her response be a way to shield fans from the potential harshness of the industry?

One thing’s for certain: Wendy’s advice has sparked a conversation. Fans are wondering if there’s more to the story at SM Entertainment, and what it truly means to work behind the scenes in the K-Pop world.
