There Are Always Two Sides to Every Story – Jessica Shares Her Point of View

Soon after it was revealed that Jessica is no longer a part of Girls’ Generation, SM Entertainment released their official statement regarding the matter. However, Jessica decided to share her point of view.

She wrote,

“Hello, this is Jessica.

I was given a notice of departure from Girls’ Generation by my agency on September 29th, and I cannot hide my shocked and upset heart about this, so I’m here to reveal my feelings.

I have always put the activities of Girls’ Generation’s before my business and personal life as a member of Girls’ Generation. However, despite my efforts for the team, the agency asked me to leave [the team].

As I was planning on creating the business I have shown a lot of interest in before, I sufficiently consulted SM as well as the members regarding my preparations many times, asking for their understanding.

Up until the beginning of August when I was launching “BLANC,” I made agreements and received permission from SM, and even congratulations from the members.

However, in early September, only a month following the launching, the members suddenly changed positions and held a meeting, telling me to either quit my business or leave Girls’ Generation without any justifiable reason. 

I explained that I had already received permission from the agency, that I had never neglected Girls’ Generation’s activities, and I could not suddenly stop my business due to my contract with my business partner after only a month. 

Ultimately, I pleaded that it was unfair to make me choose [between the group and her business]. Becoming a Girls’ Generation member was the best thing in my life, and I’ve never thought about quitting.

Shocked, I met with the agency’s CEO on September 16th about my position, and again, confirmed their permission for me to continue my business.

However, on September 29th, I was given a one-sided notice asking me to leave Girls’ Generation. Because of this, I was unable to attend the fan meeting in China on September 30th, and I have been excluded from following Girls’ Generation scheduled activities.

I have received great pain and cannot hide my sadness when I was asked by the agency and my fellow members, whom I’ve spent 15 years with, putting in all my passion and efforts, to leave Girls’ Generation just because I am starting my own business.

I also want to apologize for causing concern to all the fans. Understand that this is not the situation I imagined. I have always treasured Girls’ Generation and will continue to do so. Thank you for always supporting and loving me.

Sincerely,
Jessica”

This came as a shock for Girls’ Generation’s fans as the message reveals that the members have been involved in a dispute for the past few weeks. It also shows the whole situations slightly different from the version presented by SM Entertainment.
