Twice’s Jeongyeon Holds Talks With Varo Entertainment During Renewal Cycle

The meeting signals growing interest in solo acting, which could tip member decisions on collective or separate agency representation.

Overview

  • Varo Entertainment confirmed it met privately with Twice member Jeongyeon but said no exclusive contract has been signed.
  • JYP Entertainment says Twice members are in active contract renewal discussions and that no final decisions on representation have been made.
  • Jeongyeon is reported to be set for her film debut in New Recruit: The Movie, scheduled for release in the second half of 2026 and expected to have her play a military nurse officer.
  • Twice renewed as a nine-member group in July 2022 and industry practice of two- to three-year post-renewal deals helps explain why members are negotiating again now.
  • If members sign with outside or specialized agencies for solo work, the group could continue promotions while facing added scheduling and contractual complexity, so industry watchers should look for formal announcements about exclusive deals or sub-agency arrangements.
