The girl group's management agency JYP Entertainment released an official statement addressing the singer's health concerns. The 4th World Tour called "III" is geared to kick off in Seoul starting December 25 and 26.

Jungyeon won't be bee attending the concerts after introspection and discussing the matter with fellow band members.

In their statement, after greeting everyone with a "hello", JYPE said that they would like to notify everyone that TWICE member Jungyeon won't be able to attend the Seoul performance of TWICE's 4TH World Tour 'III'. It will be held for two days on December 25 and December 26 because of health reasons after consulting Jungyeon and the band members.

Incidentally, Jeongyeon has already taken a break twice and gone on a hiatus due to panic and psychological anxiety symptoms. The first break was in October last year when she was not present for the group's "Eyes Wide Open" promotions.

The singer's hiatus lasted three months, after which she rejoined the other TWICE members at the 30th Seoul Music Awards in January 2021. The second hiatus was in August this year.

Furthermore, in 2020 the singer had also revealed that she was suffering from a neck injury, a herniated disc, which was caused by the rehearsals for TWICE's "MORE & MORE" promotions.

Meanwhile, TWICE's 4TH World Tour 'III' will take the band all over the world, from Australia to the USA.
