Tzuyu has shared a heartfelt message with ONCE just as reports about her future with JYP Entertainment and possible transfer plans are dominating timelines. The post arrived days after TWICE wrapped its biggest world tour to date, turning a standard tour thank you into something much heavier.
The timing has fans reading every line closely. TWICE just finished the year long THIS IS FOR world tour, and Korean media are reporting that Tzuyu may not renew her exclusive JYP contract after 11 years, while still staying active in the group. With JYP saying negotiations are ongoing, her emotional words are now being treated almost like clues.
What Tzuyu Told ONCE After TWICE’s World Tour
The THIS IS FOR world tour ran for about a year and included 81 concerts in 44 cities and regions worldwide, ending at the KSPO Dome in Seoul. It was the largest tour of TWICE’s career and a milestone for a group that debuted in 2015 and helped define third generation K pop.
After the finale, Tzuyu posted a long letter on social media reflecting on the tour. According to Korean coverage, she said she felt proud of completing such an intense run and talked about how much she had grown while meeting fans around the world.
She repeatedly thanked ONCE for supporting the group wherever they performed and asked them to stay by their side. One line stood out in translation: she wrote, “Let’s stay together for a long, long time,” a phrase many fans have held on to as uncertainty rises around her next move.
Where Tzuyu’s JYP Contract Renewal Talks Really Stand
The central question right now is Tzuyu JYP contract renewal and what shape it will take. On July 14, Korean outlet News1 reported that Tzuyu had decided not to renew her exclusive contract with JYP after more than a decade, while still continuing normal group activities with TWICE.
JYP Entertainment responded through Korean press that it is “currently discussing contract renewals with the TWICE members and will provide an update once anything is finalized.” The company has repeated that the group is in a contract renewal discussion period and has not confirmed any individual member’s decision.
Part of the transfer rumor centers on Yuhai Entertainment, a company registered in Taiwan by Tzuyu’s parents in 2025. Corporate filings cited in Korean and international reports describe it as being set up for artist management, music production, and concerts. So far, there is no official confirmation that Tzuyu has signed with the company or that it will handle her future solo work.
What This Could Mean For TWICE and ONCE Next
In today’s K pop, leaving a label for solo work does not automatically mean leaving a group. Other acts, including BLACKPINK, have kept their group contracts while members handle solo promotions through different companies, creating a split between group and individual deals.
Reports about other TWICE members point in the same direction. Jihyo has been reported as preparing a one person agency for her solo activities, while Jeongyeon met with Varo Entertainment and Chaeyoung has held meetings with other agencies about solo projects. Each case was described as exploratory, with no final contracts announced and JYP still stating that renewals are under discussion.
For ONCE, the only confirmed facts are that TWICE just finished a massive world tour together and that negotiations with JYP are still in progress. Until an official statement arrives, Tzuyu’s wish to “stay together for a long, long time” is likely to be the line fans repeat while they wait for the next era to be defined.
