Son Seung Wan, known professionally as Wendy, is a South Korean singer, dancer and member of RED VELVET (레드벨벳). She was born in South Korea but moved to Canada at a young age; she then moved to the United States for a few years before returning to Canada. She graduated from Richmond Hill High School.

Before debuting, she was selected by SM Entertainment (SM엔터테인먼트) in 2012 during a global audition, and she became part of SM Entertainment's pre-debut group SM Rookies.

She made her debut in August 2014 as the group's main vocalist with the single "Happiness". SM wanted them to portray two different sides with their music, a more daring and lively side (Red) and a demure and elegant side (Velvet), and they were immediately successful, earning numerous awards since their rookie year.

In December 2019, she went on hiatus after falling from the stage during rehearsals for SBS's Gayo Daejeon. She suffered a broken wrist, a fractured pelvis and facial injuries, so she took a year off to recover.

She debuted as a solo artist in April 2021 with the mini-album "Like Water".

In December 2021, SM decided to create a new project called GIRLS ON TOP (걸스 온 탑). The concept involved 7 female idols from the company joining forces to form a group with a rotating lineup depending on the genre, theme and other factors. She was part of the project's first group, GOT THE BEAT (갓 더 비트), and released the digital single "Step Back" in January 2022. SM ended the project after 1 year and 3 months, after Kakao acquired part of the company.

On April 4, 2025, SM Entertainment announced that Wendy’s exclusive contract with the agency had expired, but she would still be working with the agency for her group activities as a member of Red Velvet.

On April 25, 2025, entertainment agency ASND announced that Wendy had joined their label.
