Tzuyu of girl group Twice will not renew her contract with JYP Entertainment after 11 years with the agency, a news report said Tuesday, though the company said no decision has been finalized.

News1 reported that Tzuyu had reached a final agreement with JYP not to renew her contract, while continuing to take part in Twice's group activities as normal.

JYP Entertainment, however, responded that the matter is not confirmed. "We are currently in discussions about a contract renewal," the agency said.

Tzuyu, who is from Taiwan, debuted as a member of Twice in 2015.  The group is known for hit tracks “Cheer Up” (2016), “TT” (2016) and “What is Love?” (2018). It wrapped up its sixth world tour, "This is For," at the KSPO Dome in Songpa District, southern Seoul, on Sunday.
