TWICE - JEONGYEON
JEONGYEON of the group TWICE has revealed that she has recovered her health and is embarking on a new challenge as an actress.
While changing agencies and expanding her sphere of activity, she expressed her determination to pursue her activities as a member of TWICE without any change.
JEONGYEON posted several photos on her social media on August 9, without any particular text. In the photos, JEONGYEON spends a peaceful time with the scenery of Jeju Island in the background. Even with a casual style matching a black short-sleeved t-shirt, wide jeans and a hat, a brighter atmosphere and refined features caught attention.
In particular, the appearance of JEONGYEON, appearing to have recovered her health, captured eyes. Even in a natural daily life, she displayed a visual both refreshing and sophisticated, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of what is called her “glory period”.
JEONGYEON had previously raised concern among fans due to health issues. In 2020, during the treatment of a cervical herniated disc, she suffered side effects such as weight gain after taking steroids, and she had also suspended her activities to focus on her recovery due to health issues.
Recently, the fact that she was diagnosed with Cushing’s syndrome at the time was revealed through tvN “YOU QUIZ ON THE BLOCK”, drawing attention once again.
While JEONGYEON thus gave news of herself with an appearance having recovered her health, this time she announced a new start as an actress.
JEONGYEON recently signed an exclusive contract with VARO Entertainment, the agency to which her older sister, actress GONG SEUNG YEON, belongs. JEONGYEON, who has distinguished herself in various fields such as variety shows and hosting, mainly centered on musical activities since her debut with TWICE in 2015, is now fully expanding her activities to acting.
From VARO Entertainment, they stated: “We are sincerely happy to form a precious relationship with YOO JEONGYEON, who possesses varied charms and infinite potential” and “We deeply sympathized with the sincere attitude and heart of YOO JEONGYEON toward acting.”
The agency added: “Based on the global presence that YOO JEONGYEON has built over time as an artist, we will become a solid partner supporting her unreservedly in various fields, not only so that she can take on new challenges as an actress, but also so that she can pursue her group activities smoothly.”
JEONGYEON also reassured fans by sharing her impressions herself on leaving JYP Entertainment.
JEONGYEON stated: “I am leaving JYP with whom I spent a long time from my adolescence until today, and I will now try to make another start in a new place” and “I was afraid to leave a familiar place, but I was able to take courage thanks to the members and ONCE who believed in me.”
Above all, she emphasized the fact that she would continue TWICE activities.
JEONGYEON conveyed: “Even if I move my nest and start new challenges, TWICE, which is the biggest center inside me, will be preserved without change just like now” and “Standing in front of ONCE as a member of TWICE will always be the top priority.”
She then added: “Both the steps as JEONGYEON of TWICE that you loved, and the new challenges of YOO JEONGYEON that you will meet in the future, I will prepare them step by step with all my heart.”
JEONGYEON debuted in 2015 within TWICE and received love from national and international fans by releasing numerous hits such as “Like OOH-AHH”, “Cheer up”, “Fancy”, “Feel special”, “Dance the night away”.
JEONGYEON, who has returned with a brighter appearance by overcoming her health issues, now tackles the new name of “actress YOO JEONGYEON” while preserving “JEONGYEON of TWICE”. Attention is focused on the new steps of JEONGYEON that she will show while leading both her singer activities and her acting activities simultaneously.
