After leaving her agency JYP Entertainment, TWICE member Jung Yeon directly addressed her fans.

On the 11th, via a fan community platform, Jung Yeon said, "Were you surprised? There are so many OneS (TWICE's fandom) supporting me that I feel greatly encouraged. I'm actually quite scared myself too. But my desire to show more diverse sides of myself was stronger. I'm so grateful to have found a company that fully supports me. You'll be able to see me on TV soon, so please wait just a little longer."

Jung Yeon added, "I'll surprise you. Since I'll appear in places you never expected, please watch closely." She also stated, "TWICE, the most important center within me, will remain unchanged as it is now. As a member of TWICE, standing before OneS will always be my top priority."

Previously, on the 10th, Jung Yeon publicly shared a handwritten letter announcing her new beginning.

Jung Yeon said, "I'm writing this letter because there's something I want to share with you." She continued, "After spending so much time together since my teenage years, I'm leaving JYP and planning to start anew in a different place."

She expressed, "Leaving a familiar place was scary, but I found the courage thanks to my members and OneS who believed in me. To our beloved members and OneS, whose gratitude cannot be fully expressed through words, and to the JYP family who helped me grow—I am truly thankful."

Jung Yeon further shared, "There's one thing I want to tell OneS specifically: Although I'm moving to a new home and starting a fresh challenge, TWICE, the most important center within me, will remain unchanged as it is now. As a member of TWICE, standing before OneS will always be my first priority." She concluded, "As Jung Yeon of TWICE who was loved by many, and as Yoo Jung-yeon embarking on new challenges ahead, I will prepare each step with sincerity for both the journey ahead and the new path I'm about to take."

Shortly after, Jung Yeon signed an exclusive contract with Baro Entertainment on the same day. Baro Entertainment stated, "We are genuinely delighted to form a precious bond with Jung Yeon, who possesses diverse charm and infinite potential. We deeply resonate with her sincere attitude toward acting and her genuine heart. We will become a reliable partner providing comprehensive support in all areas to ensure that Jung Yeon's new challenge as an actress, built upon her global presence accumulated over years as an artist, proceeds smoothly alongside her group activities."

Baro Entertainment is home to actress Kong Seung-yeon (Jung Yeon's older sister), along with Jin Goo, Byun Woo-seok, Park Jung-woo, Lee Yu-mi, Lee Hong-nae, Lee Soo-kyung, Lee Chae-min, and Kim Si-a.
