TWICE Jeongyeon LEAVES JYP and Rosé Breaks Her Silence on BLACKPINK's Anniversary @kookielit

Uploaded August 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Jeongyeon is officially leaving JYP Entertainment after 11 years, but TWICE isn't going anywhere. Plus BLACKPINK's emotional 10th anniversary week, Lisa's dating rumors, Jennie, and BTS V's transformation. In today's K-pop news we break down Jeongyeon's handwritten letter to ONCE, her new exclusive contract with VARO Entertainment, and why she says TWICE will always come first.

After the meet-and-greet controversy, Rosé broke her silence with an emotional apology to BLINKs, following Jisoo's own apology on the day of the event. We also look at the dating rumors linking BLACKPINK's Lisa and Thai actor Blue Pongtiwat — the two have reportedly been spotted together in Thailand, Hong Kong, and Japan, though neither side has confirmed or commented on the speculation. Then Jennie faces another wave of harsh comments about her appearance after a performance clip went viral, and BLINKs are pushing back against the impossible beauty standards idols are held to. And to end on a brighter note, BTS's V left ARMY completely stunned with his transformation at the group's latest concert.

If conversations about appearance and body image ever feel heavy for you, you're not alone — please consider reaching out to someone you trust or a support service in your area.
