Jessica Jung's New Novel Allegedly Reveals SNSD's 2014 Conflict
JAKARTA - Singer and entrepreneur Jessica Jung launched her second novel titled Bright on Tuesday, May 10. This novel continues the previous story, Shine, which tells the story of a girl's journey to become a K-pop idol.
This novel has become a conversation because it is suspected of telling the conflict when Jessica left the SNSD group in 2014. Although Jessica calls this novel a fiction, fans believe that the story is really real.
Bright tells of Rachel Kim who is a member of the Girls Forever group. But over time Rachel begins to find Alex which destroys her music career.
Rachel Kim is told to start exploring the world of fashion but is still focused on Girls Forever's career. It turned out that the two things went out of balance until Rachel was asked to leave Girls Forever.
One fan shared a section of the book where the eight members of Girls' Forever didn't want to share the stage with Rachel Kim. This section is similar to Jessica's Weibo post in 2014.
"I was so excited for the event with fans but was shocked that the agency and 8 members per day, I'm not a member (Girls' Generation) - my priority and love as a member of GG but for unjustified reasons, I was forced out," wrote Jessica Jung .
Fans who read part of the story thought Rachel Kim's story was Jessica Jung's true story. It is known that Jessica managed the Blanc & Eclare brand when she was still a member of SNSD.
In 2014, Jessica Jung was declared out of SNSD or Girls' Generation. SM Entertainment as the agency said this group would be active with eight members.
Since then, Jessica Jung has joined her lover's agency, Coridel Entertainment. He also releases books, brands, manages restaurants, and makes NFTs. Bright's book will be one of his works in 2022.
Meanwhile, Jessica Jung's side was reluctant to comment on rumors about books that are similar to the true story.
