JYP Entertainment announced that TWICE's Jeongyeon will be sitting out of their scheduled promotions and activities on August 18.

In a statement released by the company, they stated that Jeongyeon will focus on recovery due to psychological stress and anxiety, and thus will not participate in the future activities with the group. Prior to this, she also went into a hiatus on October last year, coming back on January this year to promote their newest singles Alcohol Free and their Japanese single Kura Kura.

They ended the announcement by asking for her fans' love and support throughout her recovery period.

This is not the first time someone from TWICE has taken a hiatus for mental reasons. TWICE's Mina had also taken one last 2018 due to stress, panic, and anxiety. Thus, she was absent on several occasions.

We wish her the best of her recovery.
