TWICE’s Jeongyeon’s Update After Confessing About Steroid Side Effects “You Are Always Beautiful”

On July 22nd, Jeongyeon shared photos of herself preparing for TWICE’s performance without any special captions.

The photos showed her dozing off while getting her makeup and outfit done, her confident look after the preparations and a friendship shot with fellow member Momo.

Fans who want to support Jeongyeon’s activities left encouraging comments such as “You are always beautiful“, “You are truly amazing” and “We always support you.“

Previously, on July 20th, Jeongyeon talked about her hiatus due to steroid side effects in a meeting with Kim Jaejoong.

Jeongyeon said, “Before, there was a time when I stopped being a singer. After that, with my heart, I think I’m trying to be comfortable. These days, I’m trying to find some hobbies. Then, it gives me motivation. After work, I can do my hobby!” Kim Jaejoong offered advice, “Since I’ve been doing this for 20 years, I’m thankful for small things. In the past, I was on stage at a big concert hall. The size of the concert is getting smaller. So, it’s a bit more… So I want to give back more to my fans. And I thought a lot about what I could do. Expressions like ‘thank you’ and ‘I love you’ were difficult for me in my teens and 20’s but got easier to do as time went by.”

Jeongyeon has had to pause her activities four times due to health issues. In 2020, she experienced sudden weight changes from steroid side effects while treating a neck disc problem and also faced psychological anxiety issues, leading to intermittent participation in group activities. Afterwards, she recovered her health and returned through continuous treatment and exercise.
