Jeongyeon's father, Yoo Chang-joon, is a well-known Korean chef with 25 years of experience, who has also appeared on broadcast programs. Her older sister, Gong Seung-yeon (real name Yoo Seung-yeon), is an established actress who was an SM Entertainment trainee for seven years before pursuing an acting career. Jeongyeon, whose real name is Yoo Jeong-yeon, was born in 1996, making her three years younger than Gong Seung-yeon.

Local bloggers highlight the close family ties, noting that Jeongyeon and Gong Seung-yeon have appeared on variety shows and shared photos on social media. The move to Baro Entertainment is seen as a significant step for Jeongyeon's individual career, with an emphasis on her continued commitment to TWICE activities.
