TWICE's YOO Jeong-yeon Confirms Departure from JYP Entertainment, Signs with Varo Entertainment

泡菜鄉民8/10/2026 1 min read

TWICE member YOO Jeong-yeon (유정연) made a surprising announcement on October 10, revealing in a handwritten letter that she would be leaving JYP Entertainment after many years. She will embark on a new chapter in her career, having signed with Varo Entertainment on the same day. Varo Entertainment is home to actors like BYEON Woo-seok and also represents her older sister, GONG Seung-yeon.

In her letter, Yoo Jeong-yeon reflected on her journey with JYP since her teenage years. She admitted that leaving a familiar environment was "a little scary," but the trust of her fellow TWICE members and ONCE (TWICE's fandom) gave her the courage to embrace new challenges.

She also reassured fans, stating, "Even though I'm moving out of a familiar home and starting a new challenge, the most important TWICE in my heart will remain as it is now. Standing before ONCE as a member of TWICE will always be my top priority."

Yoo Jeong-yeon concluded emotionally, expressing her commitment to preparing each step with sincerity, whether as "TWICE's Jeongyeon" or as YOO Jeong-yeon embarking on new challenges.

Yoo Jeong-yeon debuted as a member of TWICE in 2015, contributing to numerous hit songs such as "Like OOH-AHH," "CHEER UP," and "TT." With her official departure from JYP, anticipation is high for her future solo activities.

3. Jeongyeon, you've worked hard.

4. Everyone knows how much the TWICE members love TWICE, so I'm not too worried... I support Jeongyeon's new beginning!!!
5. Congratulations on your new start.
6. The TWICE members have always had a great relationship, so I'm not worried at allㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ As long as everyone is happy and healthy, whatever path they choose is fine.

7. Jeongyeon, I love you forever 💚
8. I was surprised. I hope you get better conditions and earn more money at your new company ㅠㅠㅠ TWICE forever!!!!
9. Now the members are all starting to develop individually ㅠㅠ You've all worked hard.

10. Go Jeongyeon, I feel like you can do anything.
11. Jeongyeon, I support your new beginning.
12. Jeongyeon, you've worked so hard even when you were sick. I strongly support your new beginning!!

13. So she's going to her sister's company.
14. After leaving, for solo activities, I hope she doesn't have to work as hard as she does now with tours and can live a more relaxed life.
15. Jeongyeon is going to act? I didn't know that.

16. Even if TWICE continues, if they're not under the same company, it's hard to maintain things as they are now. That's the reality for K-Pop groups.
17. The other members are also about to start developing individually.
18. Is she going to act????? She has a beautiful face, acting should suit her well.

19. Although I expected it, it's still a bit sad..ㅠㅠ
20. It's starting, I wonder who will stay..
21. Wow, Jeongyeon is leaving JYP too.

22. You can do it!! You'll do great.
23. I feel like TWICE will keep releasing albums even if they're under different agencies, fighting.
24. I predicted this ever since the actor agency sent a coffee truck.

25. I thought there was still time on her contract and it would be announced later, but it's so soon.
26. You've worked hard, fighting.
27. Jeongyeon, I support actress Yoo Jeong-yeon too 💚

28. Jeongyeon, you've worked hard!
29. Actually, I knew her contract was ending, it's just being announced now. Her sister's company has been helping manage her.
30. I support you, Yoo Jeong-yeon!!!

31. I hope all of Jeongyeon's future challenges go well.
32. Jeongyeon, you've worked hard. Do well with your acting activities, and please continue with TWICE too~~
33. Is everyone leaving except Nayeon?
