Read Jeongyeon\u2019s letter below:<\/p>\n

Hello, this is Jeongyeon.<\/p>\n

After giving a lot of thought to how to express my feelings, I am sharing this letter with you all.
JYP has been my second home since my teenage years; a place where I\u2019ve spent so much time and created so many cherished memories.
I am now preparing to start a new chapter in a new place.<\/p>\n

Leaving a place that feels so familiar to me was daunting at first, but I was able to find the courage thanks to my members and our ONCE who have always believed in me.
I am deeply grateful to my members and ONCE; words cannot fully express my gratitude. I am also very grateful to the JYP family who helped me grow into the person I am today.<\/p>\n

The one thing I truly want to tell ONCE is that even though I am moving on to a new chapter to take on new challenges, TWICE, the center of my life, will remain unchanged, just as it is now. Standing before ONCE as a member of TWICE will always be my very first priority.<\/p>\n

I will prepare step by step with all my heart\u2014both for my journey as TWICE\u2019s Jeongyeon, whom you have loved so much, and for the new challenges ahead as Yu Jeongyeon.<\/p>\n

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and always staying by my side. Since we still have so much time ahead of us to create new memories, I will work hard to fill those moments even more beautifully with ONCE.<\/p>\n

Thank you always.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jeongyeon debuted as a member of TWICE in 2015. VARO Entertainment is home to actors including Jeongyeon\u2019s sister and actress Gong Seung Yeon<\/a> as well as Byeon Woo Seok<\/a>, Jin Goo<\/a>, Lee Chae Min<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n

Wishing Jeongyeon all the best in her next chapter!<\/p>\n
