TWICE Member Addresses Canceled Event Amid Mistreatment Allegations
TWICE’s Jeongyeon is facing backlash after opening up about her canceled schedule and treatment by her agency.
The controversy began when a fan asked Jeongyeon why her company canceled her schedule. She replied with honesty and humor:
Fan: Unni, why did the company cancel your schedule?
Jeongyeon: I guess they don’t like me LOL. I’m just kidding. I’ll work harder.
Soon after, Jeongyeon shared her confusion and frustration about the situation.
“I know what ONCEs are talking about, but I really don’t know why these things only happen to me. But I don’t think they did it on purpose..”
— Jeongyeon
She also expressed how upset she felt, relating to fans who were equally frustrated.
“I’m really upset about it, too. Just like ONCE, I feel the same way. Let’s just stay quiet! After living for 30 years, I’ve realized you just need to care about the people who like you. I’m so sorry and thankful that you all are upset because you like me so much! I will work harder!”
— Jeongyeon
Fans quickly reacted online, showing support for Jeongyeon and criticizing her agency’s handling of her schedule. Many pointed out that this was her first and only brand deal in over 10 years, yet the company failed to arrange it properly.
“this is jeongyeon’s first and only brand deal in her 10+ years career btw and jype couldn’t even arrange a schedule properly, yet we’ll see these company stans saying jeongyeon is not mistreated. okay sure.”

Others highlighted Jeongyeon’s hard work and questioned why she was treated this way.
“jeongyeon worked sooo hard so she could come back and this is how they treat her? yall can clearly see that she’s upset too right?? if onces are still not mad then why?”
— @jeongsbtch
Criticism of JYP Entertainment’s treatment of Jeongyeon grew louder.
“JYPEs treatment of Jeongyeon is fucking disgraceful at this point. The fact that she doesnt even have an explanation for her own schedule is insane. How the hell do you treat your own artist like this and think its acceptable?”

Fans also praised Jeongyeon for trusting them enough to share her feelings.
“Tbh I’m glad Jeongyeon had the courage to speak up to ONCEs about this. It shows she trusts her fans enough to share what she’s going through. If there are ONCEs saying JY stans are overreacting or being disrespectful to other members, that’s just wrong and honestly selfish.”
