SM Entertainment has announced that Jessica is no longer part of Girls’ Generation, leaving the group with eight members. Jessica will remain as an artist under SM Entertainment, but will not promote with the other members. The entertainment label will continue to support both Jessica’s individual activities and the rest of the group.
Earlier this morning, Jessica posted on her Weibo account to inform fans that she would no longer be a member of Girls’ Generation. Her post read, “I was excited about our upcoming fan events only to shockingly be informed by my company and 8 others that as of today, I’m no longer a member. I’m devastated – my priority and love is to serve as a member of GG, but for no justifiable reason, I am being forced out”.
Jessica also later added a comment that has since been deleted, saying, “You guys are very special people that I love dearly, therefore you deserve to hear the truth from me. I’m deeply saddened and hurt by those who I trusted and hope that you don’t ever have to experience this kind of pain.”

It’s the end of an era :((
Ok What that hell going on with SM why this so suddenly????? poor Jessica must be very painful to go through it
I’m a K-Pop fan thanks to SNSD, they were the first group I liked, “Gee” made me a SONE and K-Pop fan, Jessica is my bias, and one of my biggest dreams is to attend a SNSD concert… and now… is over? It will never happen? I will never see my 9 girls together on stage? What about the power of 9? What about “Jigeumeun (right Now) SNSD, Apeurodo (In the Future) SNSD, Yeongwonhi (Forever) SNSD” ???
So… Forever ends today.
I feel you. It is very heatbreakig
OT9 last performance together was at KCON. Andwe!!!! This is not real!! What about tokyo dome??? Its OT9 dream to have concert at TOKYO DOME!!!
I’m completely numb and shell shocked by this news, its very devastating for us Sone’s to not see the 9 girls together anymore. What i’m pissed off about in all this is, what does SM has against their artist having their own businesses. This was one of the issues that JYJ left TVXQ, because SM wouldn’t let them start their business and now this shit is happening to Jessica as well. Why is it that SM can’t be supportive of their artist in their own personal business. They could just work around Jessica or they could lend her a supporting hand with her business, I dont’ see what is so bad about it. What sucks is that there are going to be a lot of Sones who won’t accept the group as they are now, without Jessica. I fear that the support around the girls will only get weaker and that a bunch of sones will leave and not support the girls anymore.
Why do I feel like the girls had been decieved by sm into signing that 3 year contract. SM has been thinking about kicking jessica out i bet before the girls have signed the contract but they dont want to reveal if before the girls sign the contract. I really believe that if this happened before the contract was signed, the girls will not decide to continue in SM and theyll transfer to another company where they can continue as 9. But sm is wise, they decided to do this after the girls signed e contract, so even if the other 8 wanted to leave they cant cause of that stupid deceiving contrayc. Obviously they are still under sm so theu couldn’t do anything unless they wanted to leave and breach the contract.
S♥NE lets gather together, we have to show that we’re not accepting jessi being kicked out from soshi. We have to help bring back jessi.. soshi is always 9 and forever 9.. #AlwaysHere #Forever9
My mind and heart can’t process this news.. How an this happen? Why is this happening? Jessica won’t leavd SNSD just like that after all they’ve been through. They just renewed their contract, so that means Jessica and the others wanted to be part of the group, then this??!!! Soshi love each other as family so I believe that the 8 girls won’t betray Jessica just like that. The SoShi will never be complete with just 8 members. One of the reasons I love these girls is their genuine love for each other. I hope this issue will end soon and it will be back to 9GG.. #StayStrongSNSD #BelieveInSoshi
So what if she is still an artist under sm town!Without 9 members in GG,it will never be the same anymore. I hate smtown. I hope she file a lawsuit. They just renewed their contract! And also the company’s statement contradicts jessica’s statement. I think they should just let her do what she loves. She just entered the fashion industry so of course she will tend to spend more time in it but that doesnt mean they should kick her out. No matter what happens I will always be a SONE forever and continue to support them.
I think this is what sm plans all along to let the girls sign the contract thinking they’ll still be nine after signing then they decide to kick her out. Its still sm that wins cause they get to keep the girls and the money they bring because of that stupid contract. They dont want the 9 to go to another company but they keep them for 3 years even as an incomplete group. This the moment that I wished they didnt sign that contract, they couldve possibly transferred to another company and continue as 9. Sorry for commenting. I just wanted to talk to someone, i really cant eat right now due to thia.
It doesnt really make sense at all. I thought they just renewed their contract. I think there is something that sm town doesnt want us to know the truth. If I was jessica I would file a lawsuit. I just cant believe this actually happened. To be honest,I dont even think it would happened in my whole life. GG must be 9 or they wont be GG anymore. It will never be the same. I wonder how is Krystal is feeling now that her sis has been kicked out
As devastated as I am right now, let’s all keep our promise to our Soshi. “Always here.” Remember we all promised that, let’s keep supporting and loving all 9 of our girls endlessly. Soshi + Sone = true love. Let’s not abandon them!
It has been 3 to 4 months only since she has lauched her own brand. SM’s strategy is really cruel. In JYP Taecyeon and Nickhun have their own businesses as well, but JYP doesn’t show any objection, as well as YG’s GD, he had his own business as well. Jessi has just started her own life, her dream. It’s too sudden to kick her out. SoShi is no longer SoShi without any member, it’s supposed to be 9, always. 9-1 = 0… I want to know what do they (GG members) think about this? It’s just too serious. She is new to fashion industry so of course she needs to focus on that. Or SM think they have no benefit from her business that’s why they decided to kick her out. Rediculous! I can’t accept this.
Jessica’s statement said that she was “INFORMED THAT SHE IS NO LONGER A MEMBER WITH NO JUSTIFIABLE REASON” and was “FORCED OUT”
SME’s statement said that “JESSICA NOTIFY THEM TO HALT HER ACTIVITIES DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS”
there statement doesn’t even match and it doesn’t even make sense considering that they just renewed their contract….
I think there must be a serious matter behind this. If Jessi really did say that she will be out after another album so why would she sign a 3 years contract? What are those reasons could be?
Based on what I read, I think Jessica said a one point that she wants to leave GG after promoting 1 final album with them. But then because of some unknown reasons (there are rumors that Jessica was bringing her boyfriend to SNSD’s schedules, and she has a hard time managing personal affairs and SNSD affairs), SM decided to push forward Jessica’s leave, thus Jessica’s message on weibo, SM didn’t allow her to promote the 1 last album and instead kicked her out now.
SM said that Jessica isn’t kicked out from SM (only from SNSD) and so her contract with SM is still functioning. I’m able to accept this for just 1 thing : please don’t let soshibond change.. I just don’t want their relationship to change that’s all. Laugh together, take selcas together even though not part of the same group anymore. Support Jessica and Blanc, and show sones that soshibond is still there.
Okay I am literally crying right now. I HOPED SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN…..
if ice princess truly out, then i’m out too.. all 9 or nothing..
I am a kpop lover only because of these 9 girls.
A truly sad day. It’s 9 or none for me. What’s also annoying is that the SM statement and Jessica’s words are completely opposite…
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo wayyy!! this is bs! #staystrongSNSD
What the hell is going on here?!!! Jessica said she was forced out and SM said it was Jessica’s decision. NOOO!!! :'( My heart just dropped when I read the news on instagram!
Lets all pray that S.M. Entertainment’s CEO dies of cancer and then Jessica will come back to Girls’ Generation

sm is bad…. gg i will support u but snsd with jess is like earth without air
Fricking dumb. SM is stupid. GG is done. SO SAD.
Girls’ Generation Members’ lucky number is 9… It can never be 8. Deeply saddened about this awful news.
This is just pure RIDICULOUS. I feel so cheated right now, whatever the reason is… The thing that hurts me the most is when they just released “Indestructible”, “Divine” which seems to prove that Girls’ Generation is forever, actually turns out to be not. I feel so so hurt… I don’t know what is the real reason GG is now an 8 member group, but thinking of what Jessica said about her feeling betrayed, about not being in a group after 7 years togetherness… I would feel really really hurt… I feel really sorry for Jessica & the whole group… but I also believe the other 8 members will sure not be at fault, I believe in Girls’ Generation. #StayStrongSNSD
I just can’t believe this would happen…. Be it Jessica’s problem or SM….. GG will never be the same again…
Sorry for commenting. I’m so angry and cant believe this would be happen to our girls!
I want to share my thought with other sones.
I’m thinking the same like you that they are just released Japanese songs which shows the soshibond would never be broken, they would never break a part and now all these songs, moreover their old songs like Complete, Forever, and the others is like a bs.
Damn!! I’m really devastating!
GG would never be the same without Jessica!
S.M. entertainment, are you insane or what? Without the 9 together, all the song in the past will have no meaning at all!!!even though Taeyeon and Yoona is still in the group,without the nine together, GG is not GG anymore. if you want to commit such stupid act, the only result you will see is boycott of all you other groups as well. GG is not at the same level as EXO or other group you have under you so far, so don’t use the same tactic you use on other group on GG. it won’t work that way!!!!!
