Nayeon's Mother Sparks Buzz Amid TWICE Contract Renewal Talks With JYP

As TWICE weighs a new contract with JYP Entertainment, a social media post from member Nayeon's mother is drawing attention from fans. The group is currently in talks with JYP Entertainment about renewing its deal, according to reports.

Nayeon's mother recently shared a photo taken with her daughter at TWICE's concert in Seoul. "Eleven years as TWICE, and more than 20 years counting her trainee days," she wrote. "Standing in the place where she poured her youth and her dreams, seeing everything you've achieved, how could I not cry?"

She continued, "Wonderful TWICE. ONCE knows it, and the parents know it. Now it's time for them to be treated the way they deserve. The nine of them have earned it."

That last line is what caught fans' eyes. The phrase "time for them to be treated the way they deserve" landed right as the renewal talks are underway, and readers online have taken it in several directions. Some fans read it as a parent's hope that TWICE finally gets a deal that matches what the group has built over the past decade.
