3. Contract Renewal Scenarios: Which Method Is Likely?

 

In the music industry regarding TWICE's contract renewal for 2026 Two main scenarios I am talking about...

 

One is like 2022 The way all members join hands with JYP again That is it, and the other one is A system where some members have separate agencies for individual activities while continuing full group activities within JYP. That is the case. In fact, as seen in reports regarding Tzuyu, a form of separating individual exclusive contracts from participation in group activities is already being specifically discussed.

 

 

4. The 'Separate Yet Together' Model: What Are the Precedents?

 

The way group activities continue together even if they are signed to different agencies, already A familiar precedent in the K-pop industry There are!

black pink Is Although the members have each moved to individual agencies or other companies, they have renewed their contract with YG for full group activities. I did,

 

Super Junior do Although they are signed to different agencies for individual activities, they are with SM for group activities. I am doing it.

 

TWICE is also a senior group 2PM like It is highly predicted that they will choose the 'separate but together' model, where they carry out full group schedules under JYP's support even though they belong to different agencies. ✨

 

However, if the agency is split into several places, that much Schedule coordination is a relief Since it could get complicated, there is also talk that the key will be how specifically they agree on the number of full-group activities and profit sharing.

 

 

5. Why TWICE is this important to JYP

 

The reason TWICE is receiving so much attention due to the contract renewal issue is precisely... Because it is the core group representing JYP That's why!

 

 

Last year alone, concert attendance reached 1.82 million, and the 'THIS IS FOR' world tour, which featured 81 performances across 44 regions over the course of a year, was successfully concluded. They also charted on the Billboard Hot 100 for 17 consecutive weeks and became the first K-pop girl group to win at the 2026 American Music Awards. As such, TWICE's future is a matter that JYP must handle with utmost caution.

July 15, Nayeon this Thoughts on wrapping up the year-long world tour I posted it on social media.
