ONCEs were touched by Jeongyeon’s care and dedication to fans, sharing even more messages praising and supporting her during this difficult time.

Sadly, this is Jeongyeon’s second hiatus within the past year. Back in October last year, it was announced that she would be unable to participate in promotions for Eyes Wide Open due to “psychological anxiousness.” Jeongyeon remained on hiatus until January this year when she joined her fellow TWICE members to perform “I Can’t Stop Me” as OT9 for the first time at the 30th Seoul Music Awards.
