Overview
- News1 and multiple Korean outlets reported on July 14 that Tzuyu has decided not to renew her exclusive contract with JYP after 11 years and may continue group promotions while working solo.
- JYP Entertainment has issued an official statement saying contract renewals are still under discussion and that the company will announce any decisions when matters are finalized.
- Reports since July 14 link Jihyo, Chaeyoung and Jeongyeon to industry meetings or plans for separate management, and Varo Entertainment confirmed it met with Jeongyeon but said no contract has been signed.
- Media and industry sources describe a likely model where TWICE’s group activities remain coordinated while individual members sign one-person agencies or outside deals for solo work, a growing practice in K-pop.
- Fans have reacted strongly online and the situation could reshape how TWICE schedules group promotions and solo projects; final contract outcomes are expected to become clearer in the coming weeks.
