SEOUL, July 1 (Yonhap) -- K-pop girl group Red Velvet's main vocalist Wendy has been selected as a radio DJ for SBS Power FM "Young Street" and will host the program from July 12, according to SBS on Thursday.

After singer-actor Lee Joon stepped down from hosting "Young Street" in May, the radio program has proceeded by inviting a special guest as the DJ for about two months.  

"I've dreamed of becoming a radio DJ for a long time. I want to provide people a pleasant evening at 8 p.m. with my positive energy," Wendy said.

Wendy, who debuted as a member of Red Velvet in 2014, released her first solo album "Like Water" in April, seven years after her debut.

"Young Street" airs every day at 8 p.m.
