Knocking out even Mr. Nice Guys! A cool and strong princess

Everybody loves her free and uncontrolled self!
Girls’ Generation has an overwhelming number of cute performances. However, removing that harmony, their dance and singing is different and each of the members’ varying charms has charmed the fans.
Even among the members, boasting top class popularity, Jessica has gathered popularity with her cool beauty and looks and frank words. With a frank talk of “being part of an idol is hiding one’s claws,” fans burst out laughing at her unique speech.
Also, Jessica would leave a number of cynical comments on fan sites. In response to one fan’s comment, “Jessica-unnie, come play with me,” she replied, “Go learn how to play by yourself,” and in response to another: “My older sister is teasing me, please scold her,” she replied, “Older sister, hwaiting!” Another fan wrote in English, “Your English is really good,” she cut it down in a single sweep, “Do you want to die?”
Fans who read these happily comment, “Jessica is the best in Girls’ Generation!” or “I also want to receive a cynical response like that,” and with that unique sense of humor, the already high stocks will go even higher.
Jessica has the motto, “Follow your heart.” Not only do boys in trouble want to be scolded by a beauty, there is no doubt that many girls who admire her “walk my own path” style have also appeared.
Her younger sister is Krystal. The older sister’s kindness who Krystal confides in.
There are a lot of instances where a famous person’s family member is also famous and Jessica’s younger sister also works in the entertainment field.
That sister is Krystal, who is also in the same agency working in a multi-national 5 member pop dance group called f(x).
Jessica was first to debut, but actually, it was Krystal who was scouted first. 9 years ago, when Jessica was 12 and Krystal was 7, Krystal was scouted first and during a discussion with her parents and the agency, Jessica, who was sitting in at the meeting, was also scouted.
Also, it is known that the two sisters get along very well. In the waiting room of a concert they were both attending, one would observe them playfully teasing each other and there is no lack of skinship between them. Krystal said about Jessica, “Our personalities are very different; Jessica is very lady-like while I’m rough, but even if we are far apart, I think we are similar too. We are very close.”
Jessica also loves her sister very much. She says some hard things, but is also very sweet to her sister.
For example, when Krystal debuted, Jessica went to go meet her and personally congratulated her. Furthermore, in the waiting room after the performance, Jessica encouraged her sister to keep doing better while wiping the sweat off of her face.
The Sica Effect?! Jessica’s enigma
It’s an idol’s job to sing the song and dance the dance on stage, but recently, there have been an increase of idols doing other activities, such as dramas and attending variety shows.
Not only does Girls’ Generation take part in music activities, each of the members shows their own talent within various branches.
With strong words and ‘follow my own path’ personality, Jessica, who is popular among men and women, displays a horrifying talent on talk shows.
That talent is when ever Jessica says something, even though it is to make the place livelier, it suddenly becomes cold. What she says is interesting, but for some reason when she says something, the other members keep silent and that awkwardness creates big laughter for the viewers and audience. We do not know why everybody is silent all at once, but during the time when this has occurred often, this specialty was given the name “Sica Effect,” and has become her trademark. Incidentally, the “Sica” in Sica Effect is her nickname.
Hearts thump when the Ice Princess shows her kindness at times
It’s not unusual to see idols spread themselves in variety shows or to challenge dubbing for a movie. And to fit that, there are plentiful idols with various character personalities participating in those activities.
Speeding to the top of the entertainment world is Girls’ Generation and, Jessica, who is called the “Ice Princess,” says things without any expression and has what we call a princess character. Also from her tough words image, she also has the nickname, “Sickal.”
She is known for her sharp-cutting character, but underneath she is also famous for being nice and Yuri gave her the name “warm ice” to describe her personality.
Also, because the real Jessica is very feminine, this is not something imagined from her usual character, but sometimes she has cried in front of people.
In December 2009, on the stage of Girls’ Generation first solo concert that occurred in Seoul, Jessica cried. “It was our first concert, so there were so many emotions flowing and I was able to hold back the tears, but my Mama was in the audience. When I made eye contact with her, I was unable to hold back the tears.”
When Jessica, who is usually a strong girl, suddenly shows a softer side, anybody should feel jumpy. Having that heart thumping gap between her characters is one of Jessica’s most charming points.
Jessica was attacked by a fan in Vietnam
Securing an explosive popularity in Korea, Girls’ Generation debuted in Japan in 2010 and the girls are also popular in Thailand. Their second album, “Oh!” reached number one on album sales charts in various countries, such as Thailand, Taiwan, and Philippines and there are many passionate fans of Girls’ Generation in various Asian countries.
In one of those global activities, when Girls’ Generation visited Vietnam, an unbelievable incident occurred. Somehow, a female fan hugged Jessica while she was on stage.
This incident occurred in 2009 in at the Korea-Vietnam Friendship Concert. Girls’ Generation participated in the celebration of the 17th anniversary of Korea’s and Vietnam’s diplomatic relations and sang their hit songs, “Gee” and “Sowoneul Malhaebwa (Genie).”
During the end stage photo shoot opportunity a female fan suddenly rushed the stage and hugged Jessica. The girl who hugged Jessica was immediately pulled off stage by the guardsmen.
Jessica was surprised, but later found the incident amusing.
Coincidentally, in Korea, this event, in good will, was reported as “Their popularity is amazing even in Vietnam” and “Popular not only with males, but females as well.”
Being late, the staff is left in a rushed state! Fast asleep in the bath tub
From the fans’ point of view, Jessica is seen as a cool girl, but actually from long ago, she has had a very troublesome habit. That is once she falls asleep, it’s quite hard for her to wake up.
Due to that sleeping habit, it even caused trouble for work. Even though 2 hours have passed since the gathering time for a program recording, Jessica still did not show up. The staff were in a great panic! For a moment, they were planning to call the police, but Jessica was found at home, sleeping in the bathtub with a tooth brush in her hand.
For Jessica’s credit, this was an extraordinary example and her over-sleepiness is usually never this bad.
However, she has a hard time waking up and always the last to wake up among the members. For the all the members who live together, there are some living rules. One of those rules is whoever is the last to get up in the morning has to clean up after eating breakfast. Therefore, it is pretty much decided that it is Jessica’s job to clean up after breakfast.
Other never ending episodes related to her sleeping are sleeping for more than 16 hours on her day off and when they are going to be late for work the members would throw her off the bed. This is a surprising side of her when all we see is the charming Jessica on stage.
Jessica’s troublesome habit she does when drinking alcohol
In Japan and Korea, there are many times idols are wished for their cute looks and other pureness. However, the Girls’ Generation members have declared that they drink alcohol in their private time.
In Korea, the minimum drinking age limit is 19 and usually there is tolerance for drinking alcohol, but when they remarked they drink, the fans were surprised. Among the members, when it was known that Jessica has a troublesome habit when she gets drunk, the fans were shocked.
Even though drunken habits can be bad, there are various types, such as those who become more confident or become maudlin, but in Jessica’s case, when she is drunk, she becomes a telephone addict. She starts making phone calls to all kinds of people. Moreover, Jessica, herself, does not even remember making those calls.
Jessica, who got drunk after drinking, called her mom that day. She made a promise to her mom that they will meet the next day and when that day came, Jessica completely forgot about the promise and with a confused looked, asked her mother, who came to visit the dorm, “Mama, why are you here?”
Next week: A-dorkable leader

I like how this book gives a very summarised but informative view on the girls, and they delve not into info that can be easily googled. Learning something new every week with Memoirs.
Jung Sisters! <3 I love the closeness between them. I found the "Mama, why are you here?" incident really funny!!!! XD
Sica unnie is seriously more cute than icy.
Thanks for the translation! Can't wait for kid leader's next week!
As a Twin Trooper, I promise to always stay loyal to our Twin Generals,
To help and to support them in their dorky conquest of the world, To diligently
defend our YoonYul Alliance base, To assist their master plan of hair growth,
And to always uphold this Twin Trooper vow.

She gives off this kind of austere feel a lot of the time but the second she cracks a smile it's like she is your best friend or something.
My favorite Sica moment was on an episode of Star Golden Bell and she was kind of chilling there like she normally does when she burst out laughing at someone else who had said "lactic battery acid."
She cracked up and couldn't control herself, omg I was in tears laughing along with her. Her reaction to it was just priceless. I fell in love with her right there.
Sica is an amazing person with a truly unique personality. You can't help but love her.
Thanks for the translations again!

Thanks for translating~!
I'll make sure cucumbers will cease to exist, practice how to do a dolphin squeal-like scream, sleep whenever there's an opportunity; if there isn't then resort to day-dreaming,
wear Abercrombie and Fitch as much as possible, and learn my English badly: So I'll receive scolding from my lovely Sica. <3
