Excerpts:
“Mystical Record Shop,” of which Wendy is a host of, premiered on January 22. She was convinced to join the program because she felt like artists could grow from the process of hearing life stories from guests and recommending them music. After joining the program, Wendy has been learning more about music from the 1960s and 1970s. She is joined every week by Yoon Jong Shin, Jang Yoon Jung, and Super Junior‘s Kyuhyun.
Recently, Wendy has been gravitating towards a certain type of music. She explained, “I look for and listen to songs that have touching stories. I like the lyrics of songs that came out a long time ago or are by indie musicians. There are lots of metaphorical lyrics in the music of idol groups, so I’ve been playing them on repeat and having fun interpreting the lyrics myself.

When it comes to doing music with Red Velvet, Wendy stated that it’s most important for their voices to come together well within the song. She added, “When I sing alone, I focus more on delivering the lyrics. I try to sing as if I’m telling someone next to me a story.”
