Following reports that TWICE's Tzuyu will not renew her contract with JYP Entertainment, Taiwanese media outlets reported that she has been preparing for solo activities.

Taiwanese outlet ET Today reported on the 14th (local time) that while speculation about Tzuyu leaving JYP has persisted since last year, it is known that her parents secretly established 'Weihai Entertainment' () last year.

According to the report, the company is led by Tzuyu's mother as its representative and is registered for business purposes covering all aspects of entertainment activities, including event planning, album releases, advertising, photo shoots, and online platform operations. The company's address was confirmed to be a café operated by Huang Yan-ling. However, this has not been officially verified.

Additionally, Tzuyu attended the Kaohsiung Beer Music Festival for the first time in her personal capacity last July. At that time, no JYP representative accompanied her; instead, it was reported that veteran producer Chen Zhe-shan from the Chinese-speaking music industry stood by her side.

Chen Zhe-shan is a renowned manager and producer with over 30 years of experience in the Chinese-speaking music industry. He has produced albums for artists such as Zhang Hui-mei (Zhang Huimei) and Xiao Ya-xuan (Xiao Yaxuan), and has discovered and successfully launched top-tier singers including Cai Yi-lin (Cai Yilin), Lin Jun-ji (Lin Junji), and Xiao Jing-teng (Xiao Jingteng), earning him the title of "star maker."

Tzuyu was also spotted visiting an art museum with Chen Zhe-shan last June. While Chen stated, "I am a long-time friend of Tzuyu's parents and came only to offer advice," local observers speculate that he may become a key figure leading her future activities in the Chinese-speaking region.

However, JYP Entertainment responded to the rumors of parting ways with Tzuyu by stating, "TWICE is currently in the contract renewal discussion period," and added, "We will provide updates once matters are finalized."
