Hello, this is JYP Entertainment.

We would like to inform you about TWICE member Jeongyeon’s current health situation.

Jeongyeon is currently experiencing panic and psychological anxiety.

Although Jeongyeon was moving forward with her schedule by simultaneously taking action for recovery, we value our artists’ health as the most important issue. Therefore, after deep discussions internally accompanied by professional medical measures, we have decided that it is needed for Jeongyeon to have sufficient time to focus on her recovery and rest.

After discussions with Jeongyeon herself and other TWICE members, we inform you that Jeongyeon will be unable to attend TWICE’s activity for a while in future schedule.

As the artist label, we will provide the best procedures for Jeongyeon to recover with sufficient amount of time.

We kindly ask for your love and support for Jeongyeon’s full recovery.

Thank you.

 

 Last October, Jeongyeon took a break from her activities due to struggling with psychological anxiety. Because of this, Jeongyeon did not participate in the promotional activities for TWICE’s second studio album “Eyes Wide Open,” which came out on October 26. Her hiatus lasted three months and returned to group promotions at the 30th Seoul Music Awards in January 2021.
