Kpop idol Jeongyeon of TWICE had to temporarily stop activities for health reasons in 2021, due to cervical disc herniation, panic disorder and anxiety disorder.
In early 2023, she officially returned with the group TWICE to promote the album "Ready to be", making her beloved fans extremely relieved.
Fans are curious about how Jeongyeon heals herself during difficult times. In her recent YouTube variety show Investigator, she revealed what helped her overcome her anxiety disorder.
Jeongyeon shared that during her time off from work to treat her illness, she decided to work as a barista at a friend's cafe. Every day, she clocks in at 6am and goes home at 4pm.
Guest Kangnam expressed his admiration for the female idol who tried to keep herself busy and overcome difficult times both physically and mentally.
Jeongyeon also said that even though she has quit her job, her love for coffee continues. She now has a professional coffee maker in her apartment.
Jeongyeon's anxiety disorder-related condition has caused her career to be interrupted several times since late 2020. In 2021, Jeongyeon had to temporarily stop her activities to receive treatment, then she returned in June, but only after 2 months stopped her activities again due to a relapse.
During treatment, the side effects of the medication caused the female idol to gain weight uncontrollably. At that time, she had to endure many comments that were derogatory about her appearance. There were even predictions that Jeongyeon would leave the group.
Up to now, Jeongyeon has not been able to completely regain her original figure. But Jeongyeon's journey to overcome illness and malicious comments has been praised and admired by many viewers.
