About Title Track, Hello
JOY’s ecstatic voice changes the atmosphere to a blissful summer day with Hello. The song is light-hearted playful and fosters the feeling of vacation days when you can chill in the countryside. JOY’s electrifying poise in the MV is one reason that Red Velvet is always a prodigy to Korea. Each member has its own intrinsic exquisiteness, seeing JOY live up to it as a soloist is no surprise. What marks a truly remarkable experience while watching the MV is the effortless slipping into the concept & music as the track goes on. It feels as if the song ended right when you started enjoying the lyricism.
being here during the period where joy was losing her confidence in singing, then i watched the whole process of her gaining her confidence back and today i'm still here witnessing her being acknowledged and getting the recognition she deserves as a soloist. i'm so proud of her

We all can agree on one thing that JOY’s voice was being missed for a long time and now that it leaves people awestruck we can conclude one fact straight- her exceptional potential as a soloist.
joy getting #22 no. 1s on itunes chart after 4 hours since release and all of the songs are charting well which is crazy especially since it's a remake album… her impact is insane your honor
