Jeongyeon has announced she’s leaving JYP Entertainment after eleven years with the label, marking one of the more significant individual departures TWICE has faced since debut. In her statement, she made clear the exit is about her relationship with the company rather than the group itself, promising fans that TWICE will remain her top priority going forward.

The announcement lands in the middle of an already turbulent stretch for JYP’s biggest group, following earlier reports this year that multiple members were exploring individual agency options ahead of their next contract renewal window. Jeongyeon’s departure gives those reports their first concrete confirmation, even as she frames her exit as separate from her commitment to performing and promoting with TWICE.
