TWICE's Jeongyeon suspends activities again... "Panic + Anxiety Disorder"
★ TWICE's Jeongyeon will be taking a break from activities for a while due to health issues.
JYP Entertainment announced on the 18th that "Jeongyeon is currently suffering from symptoms of panic and psychological anxiety disorder."
She has completed her schedule and taken measures to recover. As the health of our artists is the most important issue, we have considered the situation from multiple angles, including the findings of specialized institutions. As a result, we have decided that the appropriate course of action is to take time to focus on recovery."-
★ Furthermore, "After consulting with herself and the other members, we have decided that Jeongyeon will not be attending any upcoming schedules for the time being." "We ask for the understanding of fans. We hope that you will come together to help Jeongyeon recover properly."
Jeongyeon was hospitalized last year for a hernia in her neck. In October, she suspended her activities due to psychological tension and anxiety. After returning to the stage for the first time in a long time at the 30th Seoul Music Awards in January this year, she participated in the activities for "Alcohol-Free" released in June.

TWICE is set to release their first full English single "The Feels" in September. (TWICE releases teaser for their first English single "The Feels")
The other day, I binge-watched "You're a Robot" starring Seo Kang-jun and Gong Seung-yeon.
When I get absorbed in watching Korean dramas, I can't help neglecting other things.
Thus, I always try to watch them little by little, but I often get drawn in and become engrossed. I forget about everything else.
"You're a Robot" was one such drama.
Gong Seung-yeon, who played the heroine in this drama, had a very good presence.
While highlighting the hero, Seo Kang-jun, she also played her own role well and showed her presence.
Her acting was consistent, so I was able to enjoy the depth of the story.
No matter how handsome Seo Kang-jun is, I might not have been so enthralled if Gong Seung-yeon's acting as the heroine (Kang So-bong) had been mediocre.
It was probably because of her acting ability (as well as the other actors surrounding her) that I felt nostalgic for Kang So-bong's situation.
As I was watching the drama, a vague realization occurred to me.
The setting (even the atmosphere of the building) of the boxing gym where Kang So-bong finds himself as the protagonist in a drama where Hyun Bin co-starred with Song Yu-ri a dozen years ago was the same (even the atmosphere of the building) as the gym.
Han Tae-woong, played by Hyun Bin, takes refuge in that gym as a young man abandoned by the world, and devotes himself to a life of boxing.
Kim Bo Ra, played by Song Yu Ri, appears before him and the story unfolds as he tries to regain his true life.
Kang So Bong was set up as a character in a similar situation to Han Tae Woong, who was left behind by the world.
However, while she is spoiled by the world, her character plays the daughter of a father who runs an unpopular martial arts gym.
She was once trained by her father and made a name for herself, and was expected to have a bright future, but she lost the final match of an important tournament, hurt herself, and was forced to work part-time.
An artificial intelligence robot (Nam Shin), played by Seo Kang Joon, appears before her.
I would like to recommend this drama to those who like Korean dramas but have not yet watched it, and then move on to the topic of Jeongyeon (TWICE).
Gong Seung Yeon is Jeongyeon's older sister, as many avid TWICE fans will know.
After watching "You're My Robot," I thought Gong Seung Yeon was an actress who could act well. Although she has often boasted about and expressed envy towards Jeongyeon (her younger sister), who gained popularity with TWICE, she seems to be steadily living her own pace as an actress.
Since her debut as a member of the girl group TWICE, Jeongyeon has been active with almost no breaks.
She has everything people envy: popularity, fame, money. However, she has recently developed symptoms of panic disorder and anxiety disorder, worrying fans.
Last year, she was hospitalized with a hernia in the neck, and later took a break from activities due to psychological stress and anxiety.
She was seen grimacing on her return on stage this year, giving the impression that she had not fully recovered from illness.
Before that, Mina was forced to take a break due to similar symptoms.
It's not just Mina and Jeongyeon. I began to worry about the other members of TWICE, wondering if they might be in a similar situation.
Apart from the huge popularity of TWICE, she is always busy with work. Jeongyeon is not the only one who is suffering from the pain of being busy with work.
TWICE has been running at full speed as one of the most popular girl groups.
I'm grateful that they always show us energetic performances, and I understand that this is the fate of a popular group.
However, excessive wear and tear not only affects a healthy body, but also a healthy mind.
After years of overwork, TWICE may need to consider activities as veterans that don't rely on their popularity.
It's not because Mina and Jeongyeon have been put at risk of losing their health due to excessive stress, but TWICE has contributed more than enough to JYP.
If they slow down their girl group activities and give each member solo activities that suit them, it may be much easier for them to maintain their physical and mental condition.
I hope Jeongyeon can regain her healthy self as soon as possible.
Seeing Gong Seungyeon's performance made me want to see Jeongyeon's acting as well. I hope the sisters will perform together...
