TWICE’s Jeongyeon on hiatus again, will skip Seoul concert on world tour

Jeongyeon has decided against participating in the Seoul leg of TWICE's world tour due to her poor health, but fans hope to see her in the US gigs

On October 1, 2021, an upcoming world tour was announced for JYP Entertainment's nine-member girl group, TWICE. This was right after the group dropped their music video for their first-ever, all-English single, ‘The Feels’. After this, back in November, it was announced that the JYP Entertainment girl group TWICE will go on their fourth official world Tour, titled ‘III’, in December of 2021 with its first leg starting in South Korea and then moving to international venues in February 2022.

Originally, the group was going to perform as a nine-member set but reports from December 21 suggest that member Jeongyeon has decided against participating in the Seoul leg of the World Tour due to her poor health condition. Fans of the group know that Jeongyeon has been dealing with severe anxiety for the past few years. The member has often been seen taking much-needed breaks or hiatuses for the benefit of her mental health. This time JYP Entertainment announced that Jeongyeon will not be a part of the TWICE World Tour ‘III’s two-day Seoul concerts from December 25 - December 26 due to her health issues after a discussion with the other members of the group.
