TWICE‘s Jeongyeon once took a health hiatus in 2021 for panic disorder and anxiety. She returned in 2023, much to the relief of loving fans. Fans were curious as to how she went about healing herself during the hard times. On her YouTube variety show Investigator, she revealed one of the things that helped her get over her anxiety.
Jeongyeon explained that her anxiety disorder forced her to go on hiatus. Instead of staying at home, she decided to work at a cafe.
The cafe belonged to her friend’s family, so she was able to work with a peace of mind. She would clock in at 6am, going home at 4pm.
Guest Kangnam expressed how admirable she was for trying to stay busy.
This is the first time I’m revealing this, but during my hiatus when I had panic disorder, I went to work part-time at a cafe. I worked from 6am to 4pm.
