TWICE Nayeon’s Instagram Post Sparks Fan Alarm Amid Contract Renewal Rumors
Some have been a bit alarmed by TWICE Nayeon‘s recent message, as fans anxiously follow the contract renewal saga of the beloved JYP girl group. The K-Pop world is always on edge when a major group reaches its renewal period, and TWICE is no exception.
Amid the ongoing discussions about TWICE’s contract renewals, some members have been alleged to be departing from the company. This includes Nayeon, whose mother’s comments earlier had led some to believe that would be the case, sparking worry across the ONCE fandom. The uncertainty surrounding the group’s future has created an atmosphere of heightened sensitivity among fans, making every social media post a potential hint.
The Black & White Mystery That Had ONCE Worried
It was against this backdrop of swirling rumors and fan anxiety that Nayeon took to Instagram on July 15. The popular idol shared a post that immediately caught the attention of fans. The initial images in her carousel were a departure from her usual vibrant, colorful aesthetic: black and white photos of the group.
Our long, year-long tour has finally come to an end.
After completing such a long tour, I really wanted to wrap it up here, where it all began. Because of that, I think I spent all three days feeling more nervous and anxious than I have for any other performance.
This tour started with equal parts excitement and fear. Looking back, I know I still had so much room to grow, but thanks to the smiles and cheers from ONCE, and thanks to my dependable teammates who are even more passionate about the stage than I am, we made it here safely.
It reminded me once again how grateful and happy I am to be able to dance and sing what I love, perform on amazing stages, and have fans cheering for me with such incredible passion.
To every ONCE who came to this tour over the past year, and to every staff member who ran alongside us, thank you once again. Now, I’ll say farewell to the “THIS IS FOR” tour with a grateful heart.

For some reason, I really like this photo.

There are so many photos I liked, but I can’t upload them all.
Thank you for taking such beautiful pictures. 🩷
Holding back my smile.
Holding back my tears.

The interaction, which quickly spread across fan communities, provided much-needed comedic relief and clarity:

Nayeon: I just reposted what someone else uploaded in black and white. LOL.
