Jeongyeon’s New Chapter: A Handwritten Farewell to JYP
TWICE’s Jeongyeon, a beloved member known for her powerful vocals and stage presence, recently shared a significant update with fans, marking a new chapter in her career. In a heartfelt handwritten letter posted online, Jeongyeon announced her departure from JYP Entertainment, the agency that has managed TWICE since their debut. This news has sparked widespread discussion among ONCEs and K-Pop enthusiasts alike.
Joining Forces with Sister Gong Seungyeon at Varo Entertainment
Her new journey will be with Varo Entertainment, an agency that holds a special connection for Jeongyeon as it is also home to her elder sister, renowned actress Gong Seungyeon. This move suggests a potential pivot or expansion into acting, a field where her sister has excelled. The decision to join the same agency as her sibling hints at a desire for a supportive and familiar environment as she embarks on this next phase.
Honest Thoughts and a Subtle Call-Out
Not long after the initial announcement, Jeongyeon further connected with fans, leaving a series of candid messages that revealed her honest thoughts and feelings about her past experiences and future aspirations. These messages quickly resonated with fans who have long admired her resilience and dedication. 
Without explicitly naming JYP, Jeongyeon seemed to subtly call out her former agency while passionately discussing her new start with Varo. Her words conveyed a sense of newfound freedom and optimism, suggesting that she is now in a position where her talents and ambitions will be fully supported. This implied contrast did not go unnoticed by attentive fans.
You guys were really surprised, right? I received so much strength because so many ONCEs cheered me on. I’m actually really scared, too! I really wanted to show you guys different sides of me!
