TWICE member Tzuyu may be leaving JYP Entertainment after 11 years, according to multiple reports — but the picture remains murky. Korea JoongAng Daily reported she may not renew her contract, while JYP Entertainment confirmed only that all TWICE members are currently in renewal talks and that updates will come once decisions are final.
South Korean outlet News1 went further, claiming Tzuyu has already decided not to renew but will continue participating in TWICE group activities. JYP has not confirmed or denied those specifics. No final decision has been announced.
What JYP Actually Said About the Renewal
JYP Entertainment issued a statement confirming that TWICE is in its contract renewal period. The company said updates would be shared once matters are finalized. That statement stopped short of addressing Tzuyu specifically or confirming any member's decision, according to Asian Junkie.
This is TWICE's second round of renewals. The first happened in July 2022, when all nine members re-signed. That earlier renewal kept the group intact through a major run of tours and releases. Now JYP is working through a second cycle with each member again.
News1 Report Claims Tzuyu Won't Re-Sign Solo Deal
The most specific claim came from News1, a South Korean news agency. It reported that Tzuyu has reached a final decision not to renew her individual contract with JYP. But she would stay in TWICE and take part in group activities, news.ssbcrack.com reported, citing News1.
That scenario — leaving as a solo act but staying with the group — would not be unprecedented in K-pop. It would mean Tzuyu manages her solo career outside JYP while TWICE continues under the label. Still, no official source has confirmed this arrangement is actually in place.
Who Is Tzuyu and Why This Matters for TWICE
Tzuyu, born in Taiwan, is TWICE's lead dancer and one of the group's most recognized faces globally. She made her solo debut in 2025 with a mini-album, according to KBizoom. Her profile has grown steadily over 11 years since she joined the group as a trainee.
TWICE just finished its sixth world tour, called THIS IS FOR, showing the group is still active and in demand. Any change to the lineup — even a partial one involving solo contracts — draws attention because TWICE remains one of K-pop's biggest acts internationally.
Conflicting Reports Leave Fans With No Clear Answer
Coverage of this story has been inconsistent. Some outlets say Tzuyu is leaving JYP entirely. Others say she is still in talks and may renew. SSB Crack published two separate articles — one saying she is leaving, another saying she is considering renewal — reflecting how fast and contradictory the reports have been.
Until JYP makes a formal announcement, nothing is confirmed. The company's only public message is that renewal talks are ongoing for all members. Fans and industry watchers will have to wait for an official update before the picture becomes clear.
