Back in August, when news about TWICE comeback were doing the rounds, JYP Entertainment responded by saying that details would be revealed when they are confirmed.
On September 25, Xportsnews reported that TWICE's comeback date had been set for October 26. In response, JYP Entertainment confirmed, "TWICE is making a comeback on October 26. They are currently focused on preparing for their new album." This upcoming album will be TWICE's first domestic release since "MORE & MORE" on June 1. Fans are overly excited about this news and cannot wait for the album!
Ever since the announcement, several teaser photos, promotional schedules, and member concept teasers have been released, which amplifies the excitement of fans all over the world and not just in Korea.
However, some bad news is on the horizon for fans of TWICE. On the 17th, JYP Entertainment, TWICE's agency, revealed that "Twice member Jeongyeon's health status and future activities will be announced in the future. Currently, Jeongyeon is experiencing great tension and anxiety about the progress of her schedule psychologically."
JYP Entertainment also added that "After consulting with Jeongyeon herself and the other members of TWICE, it was determined that absolute stability and rest were necessary for Jeongyeon, including additional progress of professional medical measures for her current condition. As the health status of the artist is of paramount importance, we will consider this as a top priority and inform you that she will be absent from all schedules, including the regular 2nd album activities for the time being."
JYPE concluded by saying, "We will be able to inform you about changes in the future. We ask for a lot of support from fans for Jeongyeon's quick recovery."
TWICE will release their new album 'Eyes wide open' on the 26th of October 2020, which is just in time for their 5th debut anniversary and is, as such, an important milestone for the group. We wish Jeongyeon a quick recovery and also with the members all the luck and success with their new album!
