Park Soo-young (born September 3, 1996), known by the stage name Joy, is a South Korean singer and entertainer. She is a member of the K-pop girl group Red Velvet.
Park Soo-young was born in Jeju Island, South Korea on September 3, 1996. As a child, Joy was interested in modern trot music. In grade school, she was influenced to become a singer after receiving praise for her rendition of K-rock band Cherry Filter's song Flying Duck. She auditioned and was cast by S.M. Entertainment at the S.M. Global Audition in Seoul in 2012. She trained under the agency for two years, during which time a vocal coach gave her the stage name "Joy".
Joy was formally introduced as the fourth member of Red Velvet on July 29, 2014. She is the only member of the group who was not introduced as a part of SM Rookies before the group's debut. The group made their music debut with the digital single "Happiness" on August 1, 2014.
In 2015, Joy joined the fourth season of reality show We Got Married, where she appeared opposite BtoB member Yook Sung-jae. She received significant recognition for her participation in the popular TV program and featured in her first solo pictorial in Korean fashion magazine CéCi, concurrent to modeling for Etude House cosmetics. On December 29, 2015, Joy shared a win with Yook for the Best Couple Award and separately won the New Star Award at the 2015 MBC Entertainment Awards.
Following group promotions for Red Velvet's second mini album The Velvet, Joy released a duet with Yook on April 16, 2016 entitled "Young Love". The song peaked at #52 on the Gaon Singles Chart. Departing from We Got Married on May 7, they became known as one of the longest-running and most popular couples in the show's recent history. Over the course of We Got Married airing, their videos together on YouTube accumulated over 21.3 million views.
