Twice’s Jeongyeon, born Yoo Jeong-yeon, has signed an exclusive contract with Varo Entertainment to launch her acting career, the Seoul-based agency confirmed on August 10, 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move ends an 11-year run with JYP Entertainment, which signed her as a trainee in 2010 before she debuted with Twice in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varo said it was “truly delighted” to partner with Yoo Jeong-yeon, citing her “diverse charms” and “genuine commitment to acting,” and pledged support as she balances acting with her ongoing Twice schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The signing reunites Jeongyeon with her older sister, actress Gong Seung-yeon, a longtime Varo client. It also places her alongside a deep bench of screen talent, including Squid Game Emmy winner Lee Yoo-mi, Bon App\u00e9tit, Your Majesty<\/em> lead Lee Chae-min, Byeon Woo-seok, and Descendants of the Sun<\/em> actor Jin Goo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeongyeon’s deal adds representation on top of her group commitments rather than replacing them; her JYP ties for Twice remain intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeongyeon broke the news herself, posting a handwritten Instagram letter calling JYP “my second home since my teenage years” and telling fans, known as Once, that Twice “remains the center of my life.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’s expected to make her film debut soon in New Recruit: The Movie<\/em>, an adaptation of the ENA drama, playing a nursing officer in her first movie role in about a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timing lands amid a broader shake-up at JYP, where members including Jihyo<\/a>, Tzuyu<\/a>, and Chaeyoung have reportedly explored outside representation for solo work, even as Twice tours behind its sixth studio album, This Is For<\/em>, and its Netflix-linked hit “Takedown.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with Kayda Bosse’s recent signing with UTA<\/a> or Courtney Grace’s addition of Gersh<\/a> alongside existing management, Varo’s approach fits a 2026 pattern: talent layering in specialized reps for one lane without unwinding their core team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Varo, it’s an active year; the agency added Lee Chae-min in August 2025 after his contract with Kim Soo-hyun’s agency lapsed, and it’s increasingly the go-to home for K-pop idols branching into acting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn’t a Twice breakup story; it’s the “separate but together” model becoming standard for veteran K-pop groups, where members split solo representation from group contracts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also notable how much Varo is building its acting roster through personal connections: Jeongyeon followed her sister the way idols increasingly follow family or friends into new agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Jihyo, Tzuyu, and Chaeyoung follow the same split-contract model, or push for full agency exits? Can Varo turn Jeongyeon’s built-in global fanbase into crossover acting success the way it did for Lee Yoo-mi post-Squid Game<\/em>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
