Jessica kicked out of SNSD!

It all happened too quickly for me to catch up, actually. SM entertainment released an official notice at the end of September this year to expel Jessica from Girls Generation or otherwise known as SNSD. I initially did not believe my friend who broke the news to me but now I just can’t believe it.

I have never really been an SNSD fan but I am very much aware of their songs and concerts and whatnot. That’s because if you know Kpop, you can’t miss SNSD. Girl’s Generation is part of the foundations that are supporting the ever-growing wall of Kpop. Basically, they were there since the dawn of Kpop. It’s true and I very much respect that.

Anyways, those of you who don’t know SNSD, they consist of 9 members...oops 8 members now, specialising in a very girly aspect of Kpop though that’s not true now. They rose to fame in 2009 with their release of Gee that was classified by the online music store MelOn as the most popular song of the decade in South Korea. In 2010 alone, they sold more than 11,730,000 digital albums and singles. Their immense popularity in South Korea has earned them titles such as "The Nation's Singers" and "The Nation's Girl Group".

The old SNSD

To be honest, I’ve always said that there were way too many girls in that group but I never really expected them to take one out. The reasons behind Jessica leaving to me is totally unclear- some say it’s because she wants to get married, she was kicked out because she was using SNSD’s popularity to promote Blanc her personal fashion company, or that she has always wanted to leave. The fact is, I don’t know.

Jessica and Krystal the Korean variety TV show takes the viewers behind the scenes of the two sisters, Jung Soo Yeon (Jessica) and Jung Soo Jung's (Krystal from f(x)) normal, everyday life.

It is a sad truth. I am actually deeply sorry that Jessica has to leave and that there is 99% chance of her not returning, but I wish her all the luck in whatever she wishes to do next in her career. 

Will Jessica and Krystal continue? I just can't imagine how Krystal will take it...:(
