Hello this is RBW,

Due to an article released by Dispatch regarding the relationship between our artist Hwasa and Red Velvet’s ex-member Wheein, a lot of controversy has arised.

Hwasa has been with our company for over a year now and she is one of our most beloved talents. She confirmed her relationship with Wheein and expressed how saddened and disappointed she was to us about how they were outed.

A relationship of this matter is very controversial, but we at RBW have decided to stand behind our artist and support her as we believe her talent is too great to let go.

Unfortunately, Hwasa has expressed her desire to step away from the media and her music career for the time being. Hwasa will be in an indefinite hiatus starting now.

We wish Hwasa the best in any endeavors she might take during her time away.

-RBW Inc.
