TWICE member Jeongyeon halts activities anew due to anxiety

TWICE member Jeongyeon is taking another break from activities for mental health reasons.

According to a Soompi report, the K-Pop group’s agency JYP Entertainment announced that the idol had been ailing from symptoms of anxiety, which led to the decision.

“Jeongyeon is currently experiencing panic and psychological anxiety,” the statement read.

“After deep discussions internally, accompanied by professional medical measures, we have decided that it is needed for Jeongyeon to have sufficient time to focus on her recovery and rest.”

It added that Jeongyeon would not be joining other TWICE members “for a while” in future schedules.

“As the artist label, we will provide the best procedures for Jeongyeon to recover with sufficient amount of time. We kindly ask for your love and support for Jeongyeon’s full recovery.”

As of writing, Jeongyeon is the fourth trending topic on Philippine Twitter with over 128,000 tweets.

In October 2020, Jeongyeon also took a break from activities because of psychological anxiety.

TWICE released in June their latest Korean album “Taste of Love” with its lead track “Alcohol-Free.”

The group is set to release their first full English single in September. – Franchesca Viernes/RC, GMA News
