TWICE member Chaeyoung will leave JYP.
On the afternoon of the 13th, Chaeyoung posted a handwritten letter on her channel and said, "I wanted to be the first to tell ONCE, the family who has always been by my side, the news about me directly. I plan to create musical activities in my own 'LIL FANTASY' world," announcing she is leaving JYP Entertainment to stand on her own.
She added, "I want to say thank you to the people at JYP who supported and believed in this tomboyish me for 14 years and to the TWICE team. I'm also grateful to our members who stood by my side, supported me strongly and gave me strength, and I love them!"
She also said, "And above all, I want to say that TWICE activities will continue unchanged. I think the reason I have been loved like this is because there was a time I was active as my roots, TWICE." Although she is leaving JYP to stand on her own, she said she will continue activities as a TWICE member without change.
Chaeyoung said, "Chaeyoung as a member of TWICE and Chaeyoung of 'LIL FANTASY' both hope to become people who can give you precious music in your lives. I also promise to become a cooler person through new challenges. Please watch over me from now on."
Before Chaeyoung, on the 10th TWICE member Jeongyeon directly announced, "I will leave JYP, where I spent a long time since my teens, and now try a new start in a new place," and revealed she signed an exclusive contract with Baro Entertainment, the agency where her older sister, actress Gong Seung-yeon, is signed.
Below is the full text of Chaeyoung's handwritten letter.
Hello, this is Chaeyoung.
I wanted to be the first to tell ONCE, the family that has always been by my side, the news about me.
I will create musical activities in my own "LIL FANTASY" world.
For 14 years, I want to say thank you to the people at JYP who supported and believed in this tomboyish me and to the TWICE team. Also, I'm thankful to our members who stood by my side, supported me strongly and gave me strength, and I love them!
And above all, I want to say that TWICE activities will continue unchanged. I think the reason I have been loved like this is because there was a time I was active as my roots, TWICE.
Chaeyoung as a member of TWICE and Chaeyoung of 'LIL FANTASY' both hope to become people who can give you precious music in your lives.
I also promise to become a cooler person through new challenges.
