TWICE’s Chaeyoung leaves JYP: what to watch as solo work and group activities continue together
TWICE member Chaeyoung said she is leaving JYP Entertainment and preparing a new phase of activities. She informed fans directly that she will continue building her own music, while also saying that TWICE activities will remain unchanged. With Jeongyeon and now Chaeyoung seeking individual paths outside JYP, the post-contract operating model of long-running K-pop groups is again drawing attention.
Key summary
- Chaeyoung said she is leaving JYP and preparing independent music activities.
- She also stated that TWICE activities will continue.
- Jeongyeon was also recently reported to have left JYP and signed with another agency.
- Fans should watch group schedules, personal activity channels, and the future contract structure.

Why it matters
K-pop groups often rebalance individual and group activities after a certain period from debut. In the past, moving agencies was sometimes interpreted as the end of group activities, but more recent cases show members maintaining a group brand and schedule even under different agencies. Chaeyoung’s message should therefore be read not as a confirmed breakup or departure from the group, but as a question of how she will expand her own music while continuing with TWICE.
Issue
The biggest issue is schedule coordination. When personal agencies differ, responsibility for album production, tours, broadcasts, and fan communication can be divided. For an individual member, creative freedom may grow, but aligning the pace and message of group activities can become more complicated. For fans, checking where each type of announcement will appear is more useful than focusing only on the phrase ‘leaving.’

- See which channels carry member-specific updates and group-wide announcements.
- Judge by the artist’s statements and official notices rather than unverified breakup or conflict rumors.
