DISBANDMENT? Of course not!
Nayeon from KPop superstar girl group TWICE shared why members decided to renew their contract with South Korean entertainment label JYP even before it ended.
What’s driving the news
Many fans speculated that the group would disband before the end of the year as the group only signed a seven-year contract with the entertainment label.
TWICE dispelled the rumors with an early contract renewal last July.
Why continue as a band?
In a Cosmopolitan interview, TWICE’s oldest member and lead vocalist Im Nayeon revealed that all members wanted to be with each other and remain as a group.
“I think everyone still wants to be with one another. ‘I still want to be TWICE’ is on everyone’s mind,” Nayeon said.
In a statement released via South Korean media outlets, JYP said TWICE was staying with the company with whom it has a good working relationship.
“All members of TWICE have renewed their contracts with us ahead of the exclusive contract expiration date in the fall. TWICE, who have played a major role in establishing the status and prestige of K-Pop Entertainment company JYP and the company, who have been a source of support for TWICE’s growth and development as a representative girl group, agreed to renew contracts with each other based on this mutual trust,” said a JYP representative, according to a report by Soompi.
