TWICE's Jeongyeon says "Hello" to fans via VLive with groupmate Momo

Following a lengthy statement released by JYP Entertainment in December 2021 regarding the health concerns of group member Jeongyeon, the K-pop idol updated fans for the first time in a while.

Although the singer participated in the group’s comeback with the track Scientist in November 2021, she had backed out from plans of performing TWICE’s 4th World Tour “III,” which took place on December 25 and 26 in Seoul last year.

Jeongyeon had an on and off break since August 2021 after the agency announced that the idol would be taking a break due to panic and anxiety issues. Regarding the group’s concert, JYP Entertainment released a statement saying that Jeongyeon would not participate as she needed time to recover her health.

On February 7, 2022, Jeongyeon appeared during a VLive, where she greeted her fans. The K-pop idol looked fresh and bright as she was seen sitting on a sofa. Jeongyeon comfortably sat in her black sweatshirt and smiled for her fans. She said:

"Hello, it’s been a while ONCE."

She further stated:

"It's been a while since I did a VLive showing my face. I've been doing really well."

Though Jeongyeon seemed in good health, confirmation regarding her comeback hasn’t been announced. JYP Entertainment informed media outlets:

"Jeongyeon's condition is not 100% recuperated."

Nevertheless, fans took to the Twitterverse to express their excitement at seeing Jeongyeon healthy and smiling. They stated that they missed the K-pop idol and that it was good seeing her after a long time.
