She received support and encouragement from fans after confessing about her difficulties.

Fans left encouraging comments supporting Jeongyeon’s activities.
Jeongyeon discussed her hiatus due to steroid side effects in a meeting with Kim Jaejoong on July 20th.
She mentioned that she stopped being a singer at one point and is now trying to find hobbies to stay motivated.
Kim Jaejoong shared his gratitude for small things and how he wants to give back to his fans.
He also talked about how expressing gratitude and love became easier for him as time went by.
“Before, there was a time when I stopped being a singer. After that, with my heart, I think I’m trying to be comfortable. These days, I’m trying to find some hobbies. Then, it gives me motivation. After work, I can do my hobby!” Kim Jaejoong offered advice, “Since I’ve been doing this for 20 years, I’m thankful for small things. In the past, I was on stage at a big concert hall. The size of the concert is getting smaller. So, it’s a bit more… So I want to give back more to my fans. And I thought a lot about what I could do. Expressions like ‘thank you’ and ‘I love you’ were difficult for me in my teens and 20’s but got easier to do as time went by.”
Jeongyeon has had to pause her activities four times due to health issue.
In 2020, she experienced sudden weight changes from steroid side effects while treating a neck disc problem.
She also faced psychological anxiety issues, leading to intermittent participation in group activities.
Afterwards, she recovered her health and returned through continuous treatment and exercise.
