TWICE’s Jeongyeon will be absent from the group’s upcoming concert in the Philippines as she focuses on her health, according to a recent statement by JYP Entertainment.
On October 2, 2025, JYP Entertainment officially announced that Jeongyeon will not participate in TWICE’s concert in Bulacan on October 4, part of the group’s ongoing “THIS IS FOR” world tour.
The agency cited health-related reasons as the cause of her absence and emphasized that the decision was made with Jeongyeon’s well-being as the top priority.
Official Statement from JYP Entertainment
JYP shared the following through their official channels:
“It is with deep regret that we inform you that TWICE member JEONGYEON will be unable to participate in the TWICE WORLD TOUR IN BULACAN concert due to health reasons.
We sincerely apologize to all the fans who have been waiting for this concert and are truly sorry to deliver such disappointing news.
After much careful consideration, this decision was made inevitably with the artist’s health and recovery as our utmost priority. We kindly ask for your understanding.
We are always grateful for the tremendous love and support you give to TWICE, and once again, we deeply apologize for the sadness and disappointment this may cause.”
The message clearly conveys the group’s and agency’s concern for Jeongyeon’s condition while also acknowledging the disappointment felt by fans who have eagerly awaited the performance.
Jeongyeon’s Ongoing Health Struggles
This isn’t the first time Jeongyeon has taken a step back from TWICE’s activities to focus on her health.
She has previously taken temporary hiatuses in 2020 and 2021 due to anxiety and neck-related issues, earning praise from fans for prioritizing her mental and physical health despite the pressures of the K-pop industry.
In recent years, she gradually resumed activities with TWICE, participating in comebacks, tours, and fan engagements.
However, it’s clear that her health remains a sensitive issue, and JYP Entertainment has consistently taken a careful approach when it comes to her schedule.
Fans, who lovingly refer to her as “Yoo Leader”, have continually expressed support and appreciation for her honesty, resilience, and professionalism.
The Bulacan Concert: High Expectations Amid Emotional News
The upcoming concert in Bulacan, Philippines, scheduled for October 4, is part of TWICE’s “THIS IS FOR” world tour, which has brought the group to major cities around the globe.
The Philippines has always been one of TWICE’s most passionate fan bases, and anticipation for the show was especially high.
Jeongyeon’s absence will understandably affect the emotional tone of the concert, but the remaining eight members—Nayeon, Jihyo, Momo, Sana, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu—are expected to carry the show forward while honoring their member’s absence with grace and strength.
Fan Reactions and Support
Following the announcement, fans around the world took to social media to share messages of encouragement using hashtags like #GetWellSoonJeongyeon, #WeLoveYouJeongyeon, and #OT9Forever.
Many ONCEs (TWICE’s official fandom) expressed that while they were disappointed not to see Jeongyeon live, they fully supported her decision to prioritize health.
Some fans also praised JYP Entertainment for maintaining transparency and prioritizing artist welfare, which remains a critical issue in the K-pop world where physical and mental health challenges are increasingly recognized and addressed publicly.
What’s Next for TWICE and Jeongyeon
With the Bulacan concert proceeding as planned—minus Jeongyeon—TWICE continues to promote “THIS IS FOR”, their world tour that reflects both their musical growth and enduring connection with their global fanbase.
As for Jeongyeon, no specific details have been released regarding the nature of her current health issues or how long she may remain inactive.
However, based on past precedent and the tone of the statement, it is likely she will return to the stage once she has sufficiently recovered.
In the meantime, fans are encouraged to continue supporting Jeongyeon’s recovery and to keep sending love to TWICE as a whole.
A Message of Love and Recovery
This situation highlights a growing shift in the K-pop industry—where idol health is increasingly acknowledged as vital and deserving of space and time to heal.
Jeongyeon’s choice to prioritize her health sends a message of strength and self-care, both to fans and fellow artists navigating the demands of global fame.
As fans eagerly await her return, the sentiment is clear: TWICE is always nine, and Jeongyeon’s presence is irreplaceable, whether she’s on stage or taking time for herself.
Wishing Jeongyeon a full and speedy recovery. ONCEs will be waiting patiently with open hearts.
