“9ornothing = jess either has to work her self to death, or they’re saying
the 8 girls dont amount to anything. The fans want more info, they get more
info but they criticize it as being media play by SM. ”

Both of these are extremely accurate statements… it took me 10 minutes to
say so much, and you nailed it in 2 sentences. You win! haha. But
seriously, it seems that everything dealing with SM is put into a lose-lose
situation by all observers, and they are doing that quite unfairly —
especially since Jessica herself has provided direct evidence to the
contrary. 

AdzPower says:

I’ll be honest, just looking at SM’s track record alone tells me that their
management sucks, it seems they dropped the ball regarding SNSD, to me, it
looks as if the girls met behind SM’s back and decided to kick Jessica out
because (again to me), looks as if they were jealous of her business
venture because Jessica was making her own money from her BLANC fashion
range, Jessica said it herself, SM AND the 8 other members teamed up, as in
the girls themselves took their “evidence” and thoughts about Jessica to SM
and had no choice, chances are that SM’s hand was forced, risk losing
Jessica or the 8 members. I could be wrong, Jessica might not be telling us
everything, BUT she is the only one that has really said anything, she’s
all we have to go on, the other members not saying anything at all tells me
that what Jessica is saying is mostly true. In Jessica’s statement she says
she wanted to be a member and that GG was her main focus, also Jessica has
never missed an event, never missed a concert, never missed a performance
from anything but illness, that to me, at least on the surface, tells me
that she still wanted to be a member of the group, if she really didn’t
want to then she wouldn’t have re-signed her contract.

I wonder if SM just really really doesn’t realize that forcing Jessica out
of GG damages the GG brand and fanbase more than Jessica not giving 100%.
By dropping such shocking news that one of the members of their superstar
girl group is being DROPPED from the group as opposed to leaving the group
due to personal schedules or personal reasons, and to drop the news so
suddenly via social media and then confirmation as opposed to releasing the
news through established channels, the whole matter seems very poorly
thought through and disorganized and much more like a spontaneous tantrum.
Suppose Jessica isn’t giving her all to SNSD and is going for design school
and the like. It’s not that that far different from Yoona taking acting
projects and not being able to show up for events. Yes, it is for personal
reasons and Jessica is directing her own projects rather than taking on
additional schedules, but still, it’s not like what Jessica is doing in her
business is going to damage GG’s image, in fact, her skill in doing so may
well improve many fans’ impressions of her. By dropping Jessica, SM is
breaking the illusion of SNSD’s perfection, which is what the entirety of
their image relies on. They are no longer untouchable goddesses. It’s no
advantage to them either, and it’s obviously not doing wonders for SM’s PR.
I have a hard time believing that the other members of SNSD were 100% in
favor of dropping Jessica, mainly because they left some of her lines
unsung at the fan meeting. I’m sure SNSD has come up with situations before
in which one member suddenly gets sick and others need to cover the missing
member’s parts, so it’s not like they’re not professional enough or good
enough to cover Jessica’s parts if they have to. If neither SM nor SNSD
really have serious motivation to push Jessica out, what are they doing,
and what is actually going on?

I don’t think this is entirely either Jessica’s or SM’s fault, and I
wouldn’t really call it fault, it’s more like a badly handled situation. I
think Jessica has been branching out more in the last year. Most members
have side personal schedules, like acting for Yoona, Sooyoung, and Yuri,
radio for Sunny, personal endorsements, OSTs, TaeTiSeo, but Jessica has
never really been known for a specialty or side project, until BLANC. There
are members of Super Junior who also run businesses (Sungmin, Shindong),
but I guess their’s aren’t as high profile as fashion, and also probably
don’t bank quite as much on their status as kpop idols, but to be honest,
I’m having a really hard time figuring out all the motivations here. 

Sk88p says:

He said, she said aside.. i always felt it was more or less Jessica’s own
fault in this case. Not that i don’t feel bad for Jessica, but SM is still
a company, not a soft pillow to land on. She could have waited a bit longer
before fully promote her line. Then this drama would have been avoided. Its
obvious to me that SM and the other SNSD members felt that Jessica’s line
was too much hassle combined with SNSD promotions.
SM then made her choose, but Jessica didn’t choose. She wanted both at the
same time. A choice that simply does not fit within SM. This is just the
idea i have of this. But we also don’t know what is written in their
contract and stuff.

kpopqs says:

I think fans should take what ever they read with a grain of salt and not
jump to conclusions, form premature opinions, or make assumptions. We’ve
only heard Jessica and SM’s side…but what about the other 8 people
involved? Two sides/stories out of 10 sides/stories isn’t enough of a clear
picture to make a sound judgment. I don’t think the public has the right to
say anything about it, because at the end of the day…we’re just
spectators.

arashi0190 says:

I’m not SONE but your explanation about the official statements and
position is right. As you said we don’t have inside information about the
real problems that could be between them and push them to take their own
paths in this. And as much as we know we need to focus on the info we have.
I don’t believe that Jessica is a liar and maybe she is not telling us ALL
but we dint have proofs to say she is lying. This event is unique cause it
never happens in any SM group before…so yeah, so far I agree with you.
When our main group is the spotlight of something like this some fans can
over react looking for someone to blame like with EXO and Kris :/

Joseph Famularo says:

THANK YOU! I don’t think they really betrayed her, she just felt betrayed.
I also think Jessica BELIEVES she’s telling the truth. I don’t think she’s
lying AT ALL but she just told HER truth. There are three sides to every
story (side A, side B and the truth). Like for example the members probably
thought asking her to choose between the 2 was the right think to do,
thinking about it in the long run but it came off the wrong way to her. She
felt a way the action wasn’t suppose to make her feel. Jessica statement
makes it seem like the member were cruel towards her but they probably
weren’t. She just felt that way which is understandable. Like i said in the
long run it would have gotten hard. You can’t do what she wanted to do and
be in SNSD. Being in fashion is a lot more work than people think! You have
to be their running your stuff yourself! So think about that and with her
wanting to studying abroad and with SNSD crazy schedule! All the flying
back in forth the stress of all three on her! The poor girl would have been
exhausted! It’s easier to leave in the beginning than to not be confirmed
events to just to leave in the end. At the end of the day I blame it on
poor communication and lack of organization between everyone, jessica,
members and S.M. I believe in this situation you HAVE to remain neutral and
thing rationally. I can personally see it from both sides. It annoys me how
people are turning on Jessica or the girls (even individually) but what IM
going to do is support both Jessica and GG!

Now on to something yoy do kniw about. I am curious about your opinion on
what SNSD sound is going to be like with her gone. People are saying she
had ths most unique voice in GG. Which i can agree on. I personally think
the only other person who sound like jessica (in terms of their physical
singing voice, not their ability) is her sister krystal. But i mean they
still have Taeyeon and honestly Tiffany & Seohyun have gotten a lot better.
Especially Tiffany. Sunny as a beautiful voice too! I mean they do have a
lose cause Jessica voice was a special edition to the group. But i don’t
think all hope is lost. I just want your opinion on that! Cause Im seeing
it everywhere!



Kevin Tran says:

SM is the type of company who lies to the public. Or at least not tell the
truth. The dating scandals for example. They deny that the idols are
dating, 4 months later they confirmed it when there are more evidence and
SM is forced to tell the truth. Not saying SM is lying in this situation
but they’re known to do shady things. I don’t wanna believe anything until
the whole truth comes out which most likely it won’t cause you don’t get to
hear the whole truth in the entertainment industry so I’m gonna stay
neutral to this.

Hector Martinez says:

The main focus seems to be that she wasn’t all in for GG… If we look at
it we can really say that a lot of members were not all in for GG because
just about everyone missed one thing or another as a member of GG. So my
question on that is, What are the other members definition of
“prioritizing” … Is it how many hours you put in, events you show up to
etc.

It would have been nice if they would have mentioned Jessica having missed
events and such since the beginning of the year so it the whole “GG not
being priority ” would stick out, but that doesn’t seem to be the case?
Dropping her seems to sudden, her line has been out for a month(?) and she
was there a day before the China fan meet so the lack of evidence that she
wasn’t prioritizing GG and the fact that other members miss time/events
leaves a bad taste in my mouth…

Now could money be the issue? (Speculation btw) I don’t know the ladies
contracts so i don’t know know how the money is distributed. Apparently
some parents were complaining about the money that would come from
Jessica’s line would not be distributed to the other members and it didn’t
seem fair to them. If the company invested or she used something
symbolizing Girls Generation then it would make sense, but she got private
investors herself and did all the work herself so that wouldn’t make
sense… Now if the group distributes money equally on everything they do
that the company is involved in (drama,CF, events) then if she was going to
miss stuff and get paid from her line(which the others wouldn’t) and still
make money from GG, maybe that didn’t sit well with the others and caused
problems?
Again this just what what I think/feel after reading through everything
thats been goin on.

BritneyDigitalLive says:

I very much agree. People blaming SM should understand first if they are
upset due to the company being extremely controlling (hence “Slave Museum”)
OR the mere fact that they’re imperfect and the Jessica/Kris/etc situations
proved that they’re not as convincingly manipulative as many portray them
to be. My own belief is that it was an issue within the group (which is
perfectly reasonable since they are getting into their mid-20s and assuming
more life responsibilities) that eventually found itself in management’s
hands. Kicking Jessica out will be the group’s undoing (and I say that as a
SONE and Jessica being my favorite) but I think the general details of what
occurred are pretty clear.

Dan Fields says:

What about the DRAMA’s the other girls are allowed to do. Is that not a
personal thing. It does not support SNSD either.

Minji Noh says:

The tone, The way you talk you are like one of those men on the Breaking
News =))

jesus rivera says:

By expirience we know that the information we hear now for both sides are
not completely true, nobody wants to be the bad guy in the story, i’m not
calling nobody a liar but after 5 years we still don’t know the complet
story of tvxq’s split so. It’s hard not to take sides or not to balme
sombody but we just don’t hav enough information. Some sones don’t believe
that snsd members just kicked out one of their sisters, other don’t think
jessica was lacking comitment. I personaly don’t understand why sm can’t be
more open about this, other members have had acting roles and have been
absent in snsd promotions for it, i don’t see how much different that is
form jessica’s buisness

eseul lee says:

i think it’s just the history with sm… and fans are tired of it lol.
tvxq –> broke up due to money issues
super junior –> hankyung/hangeng left bc he felt stressed about idol life.
(I don’t know what happened to kibum he’s never in the grp now ??)
exo: kris left bc he didn’t want to be in the group anymore???
f(x): sulli left??? i duno why???
girls generation: now jessica left??

for some reason there is always one person leaving and i think fans are
just tired and don’t want to think about all the hidden issues rationally.
They’re just like, why you do this to us sm?

tho, if ppl don’t want to be idols, that’s their life. They shouldn’t do
what they don’t want to. But this trend… is just strange ahha..

k3az says:

Great video. I believe there is no one to “blame.” This is life. This is
what happens. Change and growth is hard and is bound to be inevitable. It
is sad that this whole scene had to play out in the rabid, public arena and
should have been handled amongst the group members and company themselves,
but now that it’s out there, it’s very sad and painful to watch. I feel for
everyone involved, particularly the girls themselves!

Rudra chl says:

Talking here about the youtubers you showed, I usually watch their videos
too and I was deeply dissapointed about their inmature views on the matter.
I thank you for being cool headed in a sea of blind rage, the way you talk
and explain thing is really good and it makes me happy to be a subscriber,
even when I dont usually subscribe to this types of channels. You say you
usually dont do this kind of videos, but hearing your views on the kpop
world every now and then would add a lot to this channel, so please
consider doing this again in the future.

punkjl says:

If it really was all 8 of them and them alone, then I’m sure they had their
reasons beyond what we see with the naked eye. You can believe what Jessica
says and thats fine. But there are not two sides to the coin. One being she
is telling the full honest truth, and the other that she is lying. There
are so many possibilities in between of half truths, and things she isn’t
telling or maybe doesn’t even understand possibly due to clouded judgement.
Doesn’t mean she is lying, just that there is way more to this. Remember
that it is human nature to stick up for one’s self whether you are right,
wrong, or just plain ignorant.

Account Guy says:

i almost agree with what you’ve said. but if it’s because that the members
felt that she isn’t giving a 100% then why don’t just give her a warning?
i just think somethings a mis here. you’ve said that sm supports her new
fashion line but the company just kick her out of the group eventho she
sign another 3year contract for snsd?
i agree that it isnt sm’s fault but still why kick her out? she said she
loves being apart of snsd. you get what im saying right? please reply

Snowie TK says:

I think many people don’t trust SM because they do things quite secretly
maybe? Why don’t they release a press conference and let people hear what
they need to say. I think this is what most people want? To hear the truth?
But truth may hurt though.. So now depends on what we believe cuz no one
really know what happened :)

MelonPlayer says:

Thank you for making this video! It helped me to understand both SM and
Jessica (and GG) better :)

Tiger Head says:

You make more sense than most people I’ve spoken to. 

GGSone B.A.P Baby says:

I agree with you 100% I actually just Unsubscribed from all those channels
before when I saw their videos they are reading between the lines and I’m
glad I didn’t have to unsubscribe from your channel

A Alshamsi says:

Hmm but how come SMent gave their approval and support to suju members
siwon and yusong to have their own fashion lines and none of suju members
complained about those two members for not giving their 100% to the group
activities.. Why this is only happened to Jessica where she confirmed that
she can handle both her business and SNSD activities at the same time..
Which I don’t think this is a hard thing to do.. also, so many ppl around
the world called her selfish for choosing both!! Like srsly, these ppl need
to grow up Jessi is doing more than she can handle right now for both SNSD
and her career.. 

Dan Fields says:

Your are wrong. … You are wrong in your interpretation of the facts . I
do not find that you have looked at it right. Please look again.

Syali Ishihara says:

It’s ridiculous to see how people make SMEnt. out to be this huge evil
corporation whose sole purpose is to ruin everyone’s lives. I saw comments
on Netizenbuzz that compared SMEnt. to YG and JYP that finished off with
‘SM sucks’. I don’t see how this is even relevant to the whole Jessica and
SNSD matter. Jessica HAS been pretty clear about who she thinks is to
blame. So, yes, my thoughts on this matter mirror yours.

As to the Hangeng issue, I want to make some things very clear.
Firstly, Hangeng(after leaving SMEnt) in an interview had thanked them for
all the training they had given him. He is now fully free to shit on them
but he THANKED them.
Secondly, what’s this about bad treatment? You think this is solely an
SMEnt issue? Being a KPop idol is not a walk in the park. With the number
of KPop groups that come up on the scene it’s an ‘ out of sight and out of
mind’ philosophy that these idols have to go through. If you want to remain
in the public eye then you have to go through crazy ass schedules, give up
completely on proper sleeping hours, and suffer criticism from the public
for the littlest of things. EVERYONE in KPop goes through this. So yes, the
lawyer may have brought this up but this nothing new to the KPop world.
(They ofc doesn’t make it okay but it’s nothing that can be changed in just
one day).
Lastly, the Hangeng issue has absolutely nothing to do with the Jessica
issue and I do not see why they have to be compared. They’re both an
isolated issue that bear no resemblance to one another and should be
treated as such.

If you actually managed to read through the entire rant then kudos to you.
