Is this really true?i am so devastated right now
In what is sure to be one of the most
shocking scandals in K-pop history, Girls'
Generation is no longer the powerful nine K-
pop fans have known since their debut
several years ago. Both K-pop fans and
international news and entertainment
sources are in a frenzy as news broke
earlier today that Girls' Generation member
Jessica Jung has been dropped from the
group. For North and South American fans,
the information poured in via Allkpop News.
A recent update to Jessica's Weibo account
sparked speculations that her position in
the iconic group had been removed.
The Hallyu star wrote, "I was excited about
our upcoming fan events only to shockingly
be informed by my company and 8 others
that as of today, I'm no longer a member.
I'm devastated - my priority and love is to
serve as a member of GG, but for no
justifiable reason, I am being forced out."
The girl group is slated for activities in Japan
and China, with promotional material
released for their latest Japanese album.
Jessica stated on her Weibo account that
she was preparing for these scheduled
events but is "perplexed" by the current
events.
This is fresh off the heels of the rumor that
Jessica has had secret relationship with
Tyler Kwon, Chairman and CEO of Coridel.
Netizens are speculating that the rumored
relationship might have influenced this
scandal for Girls' Generation. Even more
shocking is the timing of this possible
departure--all nine members of the the girl
group recently renewed their contracts with
SM Entertainment. Although Girls' Generation
is not new to scandal, SM Entertainment, the
label the group is signed under, has had its
fair share of scandal in 2014. From the
announcement of high profile relationships
to the departure of high profile K-pop stars,
the entertainment company cannot catch a
break.
Within a few hours of the domestic reports,
The Korea Harold reported that SM
Entertainment "unilaterally dismissed her"
from the group. Although there is still
speculation that Jessica's Weibo account
was hacked, the world must wait for an
official statement from SM Entertainment.
