I am not okay with the rumors about Jessica being kicked out of SNSD
******** SM
Her account was probably hacked. SNSD's appeal is in their successful 9-member power, and Jessica is far from being the most "unpopular". Not one of them would be kicked out unless they did something damaging to the group's image that the agency couldn't cover up (think what happened to 2PM).
AKP released an official statement from SM regarding Jessica's situation
here. I know AKP is a shitty, biased Kpop news site, so I'm not sure whether to take that "official statement" from SM with a grain of salt or not. But it's still devastating, and I hate how SM is trying to spin it as if it was all Jessica's fault.
I stand corrected, and surprised!
I read the news this morning. but it sounds like it was a matter of disagreement about how they want things to go forward. I have a hard time believe the other members had no say in this matter, and considering that Jessica is a very popular member of SNSD, I have little doubt that both SM from a businesses standpoint, and the girls as teammates, really didn't want this to happen.
I don't always give agencies the benefit of the doubt, but in this situation, for the moment, I'm willing to. This is not to say that Jessica was being completely selfish or unreasonable either - but if there are certain things she wants that really do unavoidably conflict with the promotional activities of the group :/
Based on her weibo account statement though, she seems to think she is being "forced out", so maybe she thinks the whole thing can be more flexible than it is. A part of me doesn't blame her, but we don't know everything on the table.
