Red Velvet's Joy will not be performing at the Pyongyang concert to be held in April.

She's needed everywhere.

According to the local press, Joy will not attend the upcoming concert celebrating the rapprochement between the two Koreas. Her absence is due to her starring in MBC's drama 'The Great Seducer.' Red Velvet's agency had originally tried to adjust the schedule of the members so that the complete group could perform in Pyongyang.
