TWICE’s Jeongyeon is already thinking ahead to her future, and she has some unique plans in mind for her retirement.
While many K-pop idols enjoy long and successful careers, it’s not uncommon for them to consider what they might do after stepping out of the spotlight. Whether it’s a desire for new challenges or simply planning for life beyond their music careers, some idols contemplate different paths to keep themselves busy and financially secure in the future.
This topic arose during the latest episode of “Inspector,” where Jeongyeon had a conversation with Olympic fencer Kim Jun Ho. After spending some time chatting, Jeongyeon met Kim’s young son, Eun Woo, and interacted with the shy boy in their living room.
Curious about the rest of the house, Jeongyeon asked to see another room, leading Kim to show her Eun Woo’s playroom. As she looked around, Jeongyeon noticed the boy’s collection of heavy machinery toys, including several dump trucks. It turns out these toys sparked a conversation about Jeongyeon’s surprising future plans.
Jeongyeon revealed that she is considering obtaining a heavy machinery license in the future. Kim, taken aback by her admission, asked why she would pursue such a career path. Jeongyeon explained that she’s heard working with heavy machinery can be a lucrative job, especially after retirement. Despite the success and wealth she has achieved with TWICE, Jeongyeon offered a practical perspective, emphasizing that no one can predict what the future holds.
Jeongyeon’s pragmatic approach to her future highlights her down-to-earth mindset and readiness to explore new opportunities. While her fans might be surprised by her interest in a completely different field, it’s clear that Jeongyeon is dedicated to securing her future in more ways than one. As she continues to shine with TWICE, her plans for the future serve as an inspiring reminder of the importance of planning ahead, even for those who seem to have it all.
