TWICE has recently been embroiled in contract renewal rumors. After several members were named as potentially leaving JYP Entertainment, Nayeon has also become the focus of external attention due to an emotional post by her mother. Although the post didn't directly mention JYP, its references to "investing all her youth and dreams here" and "finally getting the treatment and recognition she truly deserves" quickly sparked speculation about Nayeon's future.
Mom's Emotional Post Becomes the Spark
Reports indicate that after TWICE successfully concluded their "THIS IS FOR" world tour, Nayeon's mother shared an emotional message, looking back at Nayeon's long journey from her trainee days to becoming a TWICE member.
“This is when mom gets emotional. It’s been about 20 years in total—11 years with TWICE, plus your trainee days. You’ve poured all your youth and dreams into this. How could I not cry watching everything you’ve achieved here? TWICE has earned the recognition of amazing ONCEs, and even your parents know what you’ve accomplished. Now, it’s finally time for you to receive the treatment and recognition you truly deserve. All nine members of TWICE deserve it.”
Nayeon's Mother
While the post did not directly name JYP Entertainment, many fans particularly focused on two sentences: "You’ve poured all your youth and dreams into this" and "Now, it’s finally time for you to receive the treatment and recognition you truly deserve." Reports suggest that these lines quickly led to external speculation about whether Nayeon might be considering moving at least her solo activities to another company while continuing to promote as a TWICE member.
Contract Renewal Timing Fuels Rumors
The reason this discussion has garnered attention is also related to TWICE currently being in contract renewal talks. Reports mentioned that several members have recently been rumored to potentially leave JYP, thus Nayeon's mother's post has been amplified and reinterpreted.
On X, a user wrote, "Oh, JYPE, you're done," expressing concern over the matter.
Another user interpreted the post as "totally shading JYPE."
Some users directly called out JYPE, writing, "JYPE, do you know you only have 30 minutes left?"
Tzuyu and Jihyo Also Named in Reports
Earlier this week, reports claimed that Tzuyu had decided not to renew her exclusive contract with JYP but would remain a TWICE member. Other reports suggested Jihyo was expected to leave JYP and establish a one-person agency for her solo career. Meanwhile, Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung have also been caught up in transfer rumors, with fans still awaiting news about TWICE's future.
However, JYP has not yet confirmed any of the above reports, maintaining that contract renewal discussions are still ongoing.
