Jakarta, en.SERU.co.id — TWICE member Jeongyeon has drawn widespread attention for her noticeably slimmer appearance and renewed confidence throughout the group’s ongoing “THIS IS FOR” world tour. Her transformed look, marked by a more defined jawline and elegant silhouette, has been widely praised by fans as a career-high visual era.
Jeongyeon stood out during the group’s departure for Tokyo concerts in late April 2026, wearing a simple yet stylish white top paired with a black mini skirt. “What stood out most was her noticeably slimmer figure and more defined facial features,” reported Allkpop. Many observers highlighted her “sleek silhouette, toned proportions, and long, elegant legs,” describing the overall appearance as sophisticated and radiant.
The change comes after years of health challenges. In 2020, Jeongyeon underwent treatment for a herniated disc in her neck, during which steroid medication caused significant weight gain as a side effect, along with related thyroid issues. She has since focused on consistent treatment, a balanced diet, and regular exercise, including tennis, surfing, yoga, and pilates.
Star News Korea noted on April 27, 2026: “TWICE’s Jeongyeon, through relentless effort, achieved weight loss success… [and] showcased ‘goddess-like appearance’ at recent concert.”
Koreaboo also reported strong fan reactions to her airport appearance in March 2026, with many describing her visuals as “legendary” and reminiscent of her early debut era. Supporters have emphasized that she appears healthy and energetic on stage.
While the majority of responses have been positive, the intense focus on her weight has also sparked discussions about body image in the K-pop industry. Some netizens expressed concern over the speed of the transformation, while others criticized the ongoing public scrutiny of her body, whether she was heavier or slimmer.
As of May 2026, Jeongyeon continues to actively participate in TWICE’s world tour, delivering powerful performances with renewed vitality. Her journey is viewed by many fans as an inspiring example of perseverance through health struggles.
