TWICE's Jeongyeon Returns with 'Peak Beauty' After Overcoming Steroid Side Effects

Jeongyeon from the K-pop group TWICE has captured fans' attention with her remarkable return to her 'peak beauty' following her health recovery. On the 24th, Jeongyeon shared several photos on her personal SNS account related to 'TWICE with Jimmy Fallon' content, showcasing a refined appearance with bright ash-brown straight hair and trendy styling. Fans particularly noted her sharper jawline and more defined facial features, which reminded many of her appearance during her peak years. Jeongyeon's transformation has drawn significant attention given the health challenges she has endured. Since 2020, she experienced dramatic weight fluctuations due to side effects from steroid medications prescribed during cervical disc treatment. Combined with thyroid issues, she faced considerable physical difficulties. Additionally, she has taken four hiatuses from group activities due to panic disorder and other mental health concerns. However, in a recent interview, Jeongyeon revealed her honest feelings, stating, 'Sometimes I regret not overcoming this sooner, but I'm proud of myself for standing back up.' Currently, she is focusing on her health recovery through continuous medical treatment and exercise, including tennis and surfing. Her dedicated fans continue to support her journey.
