TWICE Contract Renewal: Members Share Messages to ONCEs via SNS
On July 12, JYP Entertainment announced that:
"TWICE has renewed its contract with all members ahead of the expiration of its exclusive contract this fall."
Accordingly, the main reason why the group decided to renew their contracts as a group with JYP is due to the strong relationship of trust between the members.
"TWICE, who played a decisive role in establishing the status of JYP, a K-pop entertainment company, and JYP, who became a strong support for TWICE's growth into a representative K-pop girl group, are confident in a more developed future based on this trust. We have agreed to renew the contract.”
Through this contract renewal, the artists and agency are expected to maintain a strong and close relationship bonded by loyalty. It is also likely that JYP will continuously provide full support for TWICE to grow as a top global girl group.
On the same day, the "FANCY" singers also delivered the good news directly to fans through their respective social media platforms.
