Jeongyeon of TWICE will be unable to participate in the group’s upcoming concert at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan this Saturday, Oct. 4, due to health reasons.
‘It is with deep regret that we inform you that TWICE member Jeongyeon will be unable to participate in the TWICE World Tour in Bulacan concert due to health reasons,’ JYP Entertainment wrote in a statement on Thursday, Oct. 2.
The talent agency noted that Jeongyeon’s absence was decided after careful consideration to prioritize the ‘artist’s health and recovery.’
‘We sincerely apologize to all the fans who have been waiting for this concert and are truly sorry to deliver such disappointing news. We are always grateful for the tremendous love and support you give to TWICE,’ continued the statement.
