• Former Girls' Generation Member Jessica Reportedly To Appear On A Chinese Girl Group Survival Reality Show

    It was reported that Jessica, a former Girls' Generation member, would appear in a Chinese girl group survival variety show.

    On March 10, a number of Chinese media reported that Jessica would appear in the Chinese entertainment show 'Seungpoong, Blue, Red, Blue, and Dark Season 3'.

    'Seungpoong Blue Red Jerk' is a survival entertainment show in which 30 female celebrities in their 30s gather and re-debut as a five-member girl group through practice and missions.

    In the past, the program became a hot topic with the appearances of former Miss A members Fei and Jia, and Hong Kong star Chang Baek Ji.

    It is currently unknown what role Jessica will appear in the program.

    As the news spread, the interest of Korean and Chinese fans is growing.

    Meanwhile, after leaving Girls' Generation in September 2014, Jessica worked as the chief designer for the fashion brand she launched and was active in Greater China with her boyfriend Tyler Kwon.

    However, last year, his fashion brand 'Blanc & Eclair' was sued for 8 billion won in debt from Hong Kong company Joyking Enterprises, causing controversy.

    It was also reported that in 2019, the Chinese company suffered a contract violation lawsuit and lost.

    There was a prediction that Jessica's activities in China would become difficult in the future, but on the 8th, Coridel, Jessica's agency, said on Weibo, "The dispute with the agency has already been resolved amicably in July of last year."

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
