Fans can look forward to an exciting new role for TWICE member Jeongyeon. She has officially parted ways with JYP Entertainment, her longtime agency. Now, she is ready to pursue acting under her real name, Yoo Jeongyeon. This comes after signing an exclusive contract with VARO Entertainment.
On August 10, VARO Entertainment officially announced the news. They stated, “We are delighted to partner with Yu Jeongyeon. She has diverse charm and unlimited potential. We deeply respect her serious attitude and passion for acting.”
The agency also reassured fans about her future. They added, “She has built a strong global reputation over the years. We will fully support her new acting challenges. At the same time, she will seamlessly continue her activities with TWICE.”
On the same day, Jeongyeon shared a heartfelt letter on social media. She opened up about this major decision and thanked JYP Entertainment. She also promised ONCEs that group activities remain her top priority. Her letter read:
“Hello, this is Jeongyeon.
After giving a lot of thought to how to express my feelings, I am sharing this letter with you all.
JYP has been my second home since my teenage years; a place where I’ve spent so much time and created so many cherished memories.I am now preparing to start a new chapter in a new place.
Leaving a place that feels so familiar to me was daunting at first, but I was able to find the courage thanks to my members and our ONCE who have always believed in me.
I am deeply grateful to my members and ONCE; words cannot fully express my gratitude. I am also very grateful to the JYP family who helped me grow into the person I am today.
The one thing I truly want to tell ONCE is that even though I am moving on to a new chapter to take on new challenges, TWICE, the center of my life, will remain unchanged, just as it is now. Standing before ONCE as a member of TWICE will always be my very first priority.
I will prepare step by step with all my heart—both for my journey as TWICE’s Jeongyeon, whom you have loved so much, and for the new challenges ahead as Yu Jeongyeon.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and always staying by my side. Since we still have so much time ahead of us to create new memories, I will work hard to fill those moments even more beautifully with ONCE.
Thank you always.”
