Red Velvet's Yeri is currently in the public spotlight after news emerged that she is in talks to sign an exclusive contract with renowned acting agency, Blitzway Studio. This news first emerged on April 8, 2025, and immediately caught the attention of fans and observers of the South Korean entertainment industry.
Quoted from Soompi on Wednesday April 9, 2025, a representative from Blitzway Studio confirmed, " It is true that we have met with Yeri." Although there has been no official statement regarding the results of the meeting, discussions between the two parties are said to have been positive.
Blitzway Studio itself is known as the home of top actors such as Joo Ji Hoon, Chun Woo Hee, Jung Ryeo Won, Woo Do Hwan, Moon Chae Won, and Park Ha Sun. With Yeri joining this agency, many predict that her acting career will continue to grow and receive more serious support, considering that Blitzway focuses on actor management and the production of high-quality dramas and films.
Yeri debuted as a member of Red Velvet in 2015 under SM Entertainment. Since then, she has stolen the hearts of fans with her charm on stage. However, in 2021, Yeri began to show serious interest in acting. Her role in the short drama 'Mint Condition', followed by the web dramas 'Blue Birthday' and 'Bitch X Rich', proved that she has acting skills to be reckoned with.
Her roles in 'Blue Birthday', a fantasy thriller, and 'Bitch X Rich', a teenage revenge drama, showcased the emotional side and depth of the characters she is capable of playing. The audience's response to Yeri's acting was quite positive, proving that she is not just an idol who is trying out acting, but an actress who continues to develop.
Quoted from Pink Villa on the same Wednesday, after her contract with SM Entertainment ended, many parties saw Yeri's potential to focus more on acting. Moreover, if she really joins Blitzway Studio, this is considered a strategic step to strengthen her career as a professional actress. Even though her contract with SM Entertainment has ended, Yeri will continue her activities with Red Velvet.
This was confirmed directly by SM on April 4, which also stated that Wendy, her groupmate, will continue to promote with her even though her contract has also ended. Interestingly, as reported by Koreaboo , the news received mixed reactions from fans. Some expressed concerns that Yeri might leave the music world altogether.
However, many also gave their full support to Yeri's move, considering that acting has long been her passion. One netizen wrote on X (formerly Twitter), " Yeri won two daesangs and a best actress award without the support of her previous agency. Imagine if she had the support of a company that truly valued her. "
Blitzway Studio itself is known to be flexible in supporting artists with dual careers. For example, Kim Wooseok remains active in music while starring in various dramas. Therefore, there is great hope that Yeri can still balance her two passions: music and acting.
With all her achievements, Yeri is now at a point that will determine the direction of her future. Whether she will focus on being a full-time actress or continue to be active in the world of music and acting simultaneously remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure, fans are looking forward to the next big step from this idol-turned-actress.
