Recent developments concerning TWICE members are generating significant interest among K-pop fans. The debut of Jihyo's younger sister as an idol and Jeongyeon's transition to a new agency are currently the core reasons for this buzz.
Jihyo's youngest sister, Park Seoyeon, born in 2008, officially debuted on August 24, 2026, as a member of the 7-member girl group TUIDE under HYBE's ABD label, releasing their first mini-album "TUNE & PLAY." TUIDE's name is derived from "Tune the tide," signifying the harmonization of different flows, and features members from diverse cultural backgrounds including Korea, the US, UK, and Japan. Concurrently, Jeongyeon (Yoo Jeongyeon, born 1996) departed JYP Entertainment after 11 years to sign with Baro Entertainment, an acting-focused agency where her sister Gong Seungyeon also works. Jeongyeon clarified that she will continue her activities as a TWICE member.
Local bloggers express curiosity about Seoyeon's debut, especially given Jihyo's established global success as TWICE's leader. They also highlight Jeongyeon's new profile photos, noting a distinct shift from her familiar short hair to a long, natural style, which suggests a focus on acting. The overall sentiment includes admiration for the TWICE members' individual paths and evolving images.
