K-Pop powerhouse TWICE’s Jeongyeon is embarking on an exciting new chapter, confirming her departure from JYP Entertainment after a remarkable 11-year journey. The beloved idol has officially signed an exclusive contract with Varo Entertainment, the agency that also manages her older sister, renowned actor Gong Seung-yeon. This significant move marks a new era for Jeongyeon as she plans to expand her horizons into acting while steadfastly continuing her activities with TWICE.
Her move to Varo Entertainment, effective Monday, follows her debut with TWICE in 2015. Varo Entertainment expressed their enthusiasm, stating, “We are truly delighted to form a valuable relationship with Yoo Jeong-yeon, who possesses a diverse range of charms and infinite potential.” This sentiment highlights the industry’s excitement for Jeongyeon’s future endeavors beyond her already successful music career.
Jeongyeon herself addressed fans, known as ONCE, through a heartfelt message on social media. She candidly shared her initial apprehension about leaving a familiar environment, a sentiment many would understand. However, she found the courage to embrace this new challenge thanks to the unwavering support of her fellow TWICE members and, of course, ONCE. She reassured fans with a powerful commitment: “Although I am moving to a new home and beginning a new challenge, I will continue to protect TWICE, which is at the very heart of who I am. Standing before Once as a member of TWICE will always be my first priority.”
This dedication underscores her deep bond with the group and its fanbase, ensuring that her new pursuits will complement, rather than detract from, her role as a TWICE member. Fans can look forward to seeing Jeongyeon explore new artistic avenues while remaining a vital part of one of K-pop’s leading girl groups.
