Jessica: working on her business and prioritize her business while SNSD is still actively promoting, Tiffany, Seohyun, Sooyoung: Put snsd first before anythimg else and venture into their solo “business” if u want to call it that way ONLY after their contract are over w SM. THERE U GO PPL, THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JESSICA AND THE OTHER MEMBERS. God move on guys... JESSICA AND THE GIRLS ARE HAPPY AT WHERE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW. Stop bringing up about the past and support the girls, be happy for them.

It's nice that she's not bashing SM entertainment or her members, she talks very respectfully

she is sooo down to earth, love to hear her talk

she is so proud to be part of girls generation

I’m glad she’s finally getting recognition for her talent here in the US. The hate she’s been getting in Korea was too overwhelming, but she still managed to put a sincere smile on her face and never talked shit about her bad experience, she’s just respectful and pure hearted

*"When you guys want me there, I can be there"*

The only reason why 90% of comments is about Jessica is because NEVER was really revealed why she leave the grupo. The said that she was kicked out, SM said that she leave to work with b&e and until today, snsd NEVER talk about her. Is like she never existed. So, yeah, why snsd become ot8 is a mystery.

Playing "Into the New World" on background brings back memories

I'm really proud of Tiffany! Glad she is living her dreams! As far as Jessica is concerned (long post ahead), let's talk about FACTS. Tiffany herself announced that Jessica was going to work on a fashion line at kcon 2014 (Look up KCON 2014 Red Carpet) and everyone else was going to be doing their own thing as well. So Jessica wouldn't be the only one who was inactive; it was all of them. Tiffany spoke of TTS' comeback (Holler) and also showed support for Jessica designing, as well as YoonA's new movie, SooYoung's drama premiere, etc. During the show (I was there), at one point Jessica left the stage (fans were going to sing ITNW) and then returned and fans could definitely tell that she had been crying. She cried through Gee but did a good job of holding it in and by the time the show was over and the idols were waving at the audience, she was okay. Idk if they argued backstage between songs or what but she was UPSET over something. ANYWAY, KCON 2014 happened in August, and Tiffany announced on the Red Carpet that everyone (including SM), supported Jessica's business decision. However, Jessica was removed from SNSD a little over a month later; in September. Fact: So within one month, things fell apart; evidence tells us that Jessica was removed very suddenly, which is likely why she lashed out and was so shocked. More evidence that Jessica was removed suddenly: #catchgg (the video is still up on SM's channel) was supposed to be SNSD's CMIYC campaign leading up to their Tokyo Dome concert as 9 and the release of CMIYC was supposed to be a farewell (?) to Japanese activities (whether it was a temporary or permanent end of SJJD, no one really knows). This is why fans saw the leaked version of the MV with Jessica in it and why SNSD had to rerecord the MV. This is also why in the Indestructible MV, the video starts with, "Thank you! We have one last gift for you!" It was likely supposed to be the last song released before Tokyo Dome promotions began (Divine, CMIYC, and the unreleased Chain Reaction "new" song). Did you notice that during the Tokyo Dome performance, Sunny got particularly emotional during ITNW? Why? I imagine she was experiencing a number of emotions but the most likely reason is that it's because performing ITNW brought back a lot of memories for her; she was right next to Jessica during the entire debut MV. In almost every scene, she and Jessica were spray painting the wall. Her debut is literally TIED to Jessica, more so probably than any other member. I think it really hit her that Jessica was out of the group. Even the spacing in their dance formations during ITNW @ Tokyo Dome signifies that they never intended to perform that song as 8 members. It was supposed to be a 9 member version. And while we'll never truly know what happened between SNSD and Jessica, I honestly think that SNSD's image never fully recovered from Jessica being kicked out because SNSD as 9 was what propelled them to being the global sensations that they are. It wasn't SNSD as 8, 5 or 1. It was NINE. ALL NINE made SNSD who they are. And all nine collectively are why they are considered Legendary. So am I bitter that Jessica is no longer in the group and that the girls pretend like she doesn't exist? Hell yes, I am. Do I hate SNSD, Tiffany, or any other member because of it? No, I don't. I think kicking Jessica out was a huge mistake but in the process of her being removed, I think she, just like Tiffany, Taeyeon, Seohyun, Sunny, YoonA, Hyoyeon, Yuri and Sooyoung has truly found her own identity apart from SNSD. The last thing I will say is that friends grow apart. That's life. I wish I could say that my best friend when I was 17 or 18 is still my best friend to this day but that's simply not true. People change, dreams can change too. As SONEs, let's support our girls as they attempt to do what many women in not just SK's entertainment industry but the worldwide entertainment industry haven't been able to accomplish; have lasting careers in music and entertainment, despite not being "teens" or what the public considers "young." They gave us the end of their teens and most of their 20s and for that, I'm forever grateful. Right now, tomorrow, forever it's SNSD (as 9, 8, 5, or 1)

Tiffany is really the glue of SNSD. She really cares about every single one of them. If someone says she cares about Jess until now I'll believe it.

Hearing tiffany always makes me remember jessica when she started talking about how she left and immediately makes me cry.

"Wonder Girls and Girls' Generation start it..." Ahhhhh i love youuuu

When Tiffany smile 😊 u know she rly cares about her bandmates and y she’s my favORiTe

I’m just so proud and really just want to commend Tiffany for answering all the questions maturely and professionally. SNSD for sure has grown utmost respect and love for one another as time passes by. And as a fan, I couldn’t be more thankful that they’re in their own positions now where they can freely do what they want and be happy. I love the Soshi girls so much that I’m really grateful to know them not just as artists but also as women I can look up to. GG4EVA❤️❤️

Looking at the comments now shows how much of a big deal Jessica still is.

"This is a new chapter for everyone that has never been done before. Its scary but I'm happy." YES! Go Tiffany! Go SNSD! Experience the things you never got the chance to! Just be yourself and be free! Its sad and painful but I support you guys!

In short: Tiffany left SM to persue her english singing career in LA

I find it funny how people are Judging Jessica for starting a business while being in SNSD but when it comes to Seungri (he’s my bias) of Big bang it’s fine. Missing a couple practices doesn’t mean you don’t want to be in the group any longer. Yes, juggling both a business and singing in a group is hard but it is possible. SM just kicked her out as a control tactic because they can’t control the money she makes from her business. SM is the same company that screwed over TVXQ, EXO, F(X), and others. There is no group they have that didn’t have at least one member leave on bad terms. Jessica was not even my bias, Sunny is my bias, but I hate how people treat Jessica as a result of her leaving. I respect Tiffany for leaving SM on better terms but I also respect the people who left SM on bad terms like Jessica, Sulli, Kris, JYJ, Tao, and others.

I just love tiffany, shes getting the recognition that she deserves.. and the hate.. though that didn't stop her and would always smile,, shes very cheerful and honest and I can't not stop loving her! Shes the best! Im glad that they're not disbanding, just on a massive hiatus due to their busy schedules, i would love for them to collab once again in the right time! Girls Generation Forever💙

One thing I noticed before SM kicking Jessica out was on that show she did with her sister Krystal? Forgot the name? Where they live in this dream house together & do funny things as sisters go out and stuff? Even Tiffany came on there to say hi & eat. On the show at one point as Jessica talked to Krystal.. Jessica revealed how SNSD took all of her youth away. Like she was literally sad about it. Like in a regretful way

I love her so much she's so genuine and honest. No wonder she shined in my eyes from the very first moment I saw her saying "let me introduce myself, here comes trouble" in I Got a Boy. She's always been my favorite.

this is awesome, thank you so much for conducting and posting this interview! it's really great to hear a holistic view of her journey. also, props for using a piano version of girls generations' debut song as the background track

Jessica never wanted to leave Girl’s Generation. If you have any doubt, look at her crying leaving the SM building after they told her or her first event with Blanc and Eclare after when she BREAKS DOWN in tears. A lot of you forget Jessica was the first of all the members to even be a trainee for SM. So really she was with them 14 years if you count her trainee time. The fact that they couldn’t extend the same courtesy to Sica that they did to Tiffany is disgusting. And don’t talk to me about prioritizing her business because Yoona missed a TON of stuff for her acting. The only difference is SM got a cut of all the money.

Tiffany was/is my fave!! she has a pretty voice when she's at her best- they all have not so great performances, but that doesn't take away the fact that she's talented and is still growing and perfecting her craft.

It's easy saying that, but actually putting it on paper is hard, SNSD promotes each year for the whole year, they travel to 2 countries in a span of 24 hours while performing and recording constantly. The one thing SNSD has over every Kpop group is consistency. You have to account for the fact that they have been doing that for nearly 10 years, I'm sure anyone would get tired of doing something, that yes you love to do, but have no power over it. SM pushes their artist to their highest potential that's why they have the biggest groups in Kpop. Tiffany left, because she wanted to do her thing because she has been doing a group activity with an agenda for 10 years and so did Jessica. Just because Jessica did something for herself doesn't mean she abandoned her duties as a member. The main problem was they never had a hiatus during their time, One Direction went on hiatus after 7 years, not to say SNSD worked harder, but they did. They had language barriers they didn't reach the masses It wasn't as easy as it was being One Direction, who would release a song that can reach the entire world where as SNSD would release an album, compete with 50+ Kpop songs in one year and on top of that only hit the asian market and maybe the entire market. People need to start understanding that Jessica was reaching a stage in her life where she wanted to her life back. I think a living proof of how demanding it is to be in their shoes is Seohyun, who also left. The youngest member and by far the most intelligent and sensible out of all of them decided to not renew because she also wanted her life back. I really do believe if they went on hiatus for a year, this could have all been avoided. Jessica would have had a lot more time and less pressure to pursue her own dreams, other members could have at least enjoyed their fame, I know Taeyeon would have just released a solo album because shes' Taeyeon, Seohyun would have done humanitarian work, Hyoyeon could have more time doing her Radio show, Yoona and Yuri would have more time focusing their acting, Tiffany would branch out to the US and Sunny and Sooyoung would pursue more reality shows and modelling. Time to just prepare a career after SNSD. It's just quite sad that they could not disband when they were all still together, now they will turn out like DBSK. They couldn't go out with a bang like SISTAR did.

Everyone keeps saying Jessica prioritized her business over SNSD while Tiffany prioritized SNSD over her solo ventures. But it should’ve never been like that. They both should’ve been able to do their solo things and be there for the group. The way SM treated Jessica for wanting to do fashion was ridiculous

I love that she's honest about wanting to go solo. Some people leave and blame every one and everything else for making them leave when deep down they wanted out from the very beginning, Camila Cabello for example. Honesty is beautiful trait, and Tiffany looks absolutely STUNNING💕💕💕

I miss them but I'm really glad they're enjoying themselves and also keeping in touch.

Zach Sang is just a great interviewer. Kpop idols always seem so comfortable around him and seriously treats them with respect as individuals.

For a moment there I thought I can understand korean.

she is such an INSPIRATION

Gosh she is so down to earth. I could listen to her talk all day.

i love tiffany thats why im thankful to the interviewer for being a great one!

I love how eloquent she is and you can really feel her passion for her own music. She's really doing well nowadays. Her songs are all to my taste and they're so good 👍👏👏

Sone proud of you, Tiffany. And of course, i highly hope that GG will comeback together in future

"At the end of the day we are all human beings." Gonna support all of you until the end unnie. 💕

"We work aa- we work a butts off" "you can say ass" "We work ass off, everybody knows that" Lmao

To new viewers i recommend that you don’t scroll down and read comments, you’ll only end up in the 9.30 hole it’s never ending and we will never really know what happened behind the scene unless the people involved spills so that’s that. I’m just happy the girls are happy and doing great on each path they chose.

My girl TT I love Tiffany with all my heart and I hope she gets to achieve all her dreams on her solo career. Also, when the time is right, we'll see ot8 again. Shine, my star!

LOVE this interview so much!

"It's never been done before...." Well, it could have been. If SM had been so inclined, _the same consideration could have been extended to Jessica, and SNSD would still be 9 instead of 8_ And if the bridges haven't been too thoroughly burned, the same legal/contracting mechanisms needed to bring Tiffany and the other two members who didn't renew back in for an SNSD performance could be used to bring the "missing woman" back as well...

" if u guys want me be there, I CAN BE THERE" I LOVE MY QUEEN FANY💕

And here we are 2022 and a full comeback coming in August

I'm tired of you people commenting about Jessica. Do you see Jessica here?!

Jessica's departure was soooo heartbreaking for me.. I really hope they stayed in touch with eachother and that the truth will come out one day 😔

Tiffany is such a sweetie and I really love the ways she speaks 😍😍

3rd Gen Kpop was started by Girls Generation Shinee & Wonder Girls. The 3 legendary groups started the trend that's still going on till this day 3rd Gen kpop has a upbeat sound slightly cute colorful retro concept 3rd Gen Kpop is my favorite type of Kpop this whole decade of 2010 was magical for me Spacial thanx to Shinee they got me into kpop it changed my life for the better

I love how Tiffany can have a normal relationship with the other members and continue with what she wants to do, because even if she is not at SM and with her band mates she'll still be part of SNSD no matter what. Right now she just wants to focus on her and what she wants instead of being overworked and pressured with all of that stress of being in a group. I think that she made the right choice and she seems more happier now and I'm happy for her and for the other members who respected her decision.

fany is my first crush of Kpop, with her eye smile. Glad to see her happy and enjoy life.

i love the background music ITNW it makes me cry😭😭😭

I was never a huge fan of SNSD but this interview with Tiffany is very heartfelt and made me emotional

I love this interview. It's so genuine :)

im so fucking proud of all 9 of them FOREVER QUEENS🙌🏻💗

I love the way she speaks in English and she's so humble and respectful.

SNSD makes me so nostalgic.. I hope one day they will ALL come back together and release a new album or tour..

i cant believe how someone can brag about themselves but still seems super humble like only TIFANNY can do that. damn, she was talking about her achievements in the beginning and the way she speaks about it is really precious

The background music made my heartache

i love this its so wholesome, i also love that Tiffany is doing more things in America would love to see her transition to Hollywood

This is emotional with their first song playing..Into the new world..yes, you girls are going into the new world. 💜💜💜💜

This makes me cry out of happiness because I can really see that she's enjoying her life now and everything's good with the members OMG I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

okay so if you guys watched mixnine... jessica appeared and she hinted at the fact that she and snsd were not allowed to TALK about her sudden leaving. she even said so herself when she left a couple years ago in an interview (?) that she wasn't allowed to. so it's not that she's hiding it, it's bc sm did to jessica what they did to JYJ.

You know what we all have to accepted that some of SNSD member has left SM Entertainment and their contract are over , whatever is we're missed the old girls generation .

It's amazing how she talks about it in such a respectful and gracious way. We feel how grateful she is to everything she has lived and to all the girls. She has always been authentic.I will not be a hypocrite to say that I missed words like this coming from Jessica...

OMG! When Into the New World was played as a background music made me feel so nostalgic. I miss them being complete. I love you girls forever. I will always you as a group as individually. 😍

Shes so sweet

*"We all wanted to go solo in the group."* So stop saying that Jessica wanted to leave the group just because she wanted to go solo.

she's such a class act

She super kind and happy 😭❤🐘

I miss the times when snsd is all over :( I'm looking forward for your comeback 😊

I am a hardcore GorJess Spazzer but her departure doesn't surprise me. It tears me apart though. Her actions and words gave so much clue. I don't know how others can't see it the way I do. When Sica started B&E, I was one of the proudest fan. Like gurl, my bias is a CEO now. To see them grow bigger is a pride of every fan. But rumors of her leaving the group started. It bothers me, especially when she keeps on saying that she spend her youth to SNSD then she said in an interview that she have actually thought about it, but no she's not leaving. Then, TaengSic Drama started. Taeng being so cold to Sica even if there's a camera pointing at them is truly heart breaking. It cools down at some point, then MR MR era came. Everything went well. Taeng's cold treatment to Sica melt down already. Then, she was dismissed. I kept on asking myself that if she was not dismissed and she actually terminates her contract with SM and leave SNSD, will I feel betrayed by Sica? Like how I felt betrayed by SM on 09/30. SeoSooTiff sure knows what's up. They won't put the group's name in another nasty scandal. They wait till they're contracts expired. Their departure is clean and smooth.

It hurt really bad when the news broke that they were leaving SM but through this interview, I can now understand the situation, especially Tiffany's, and cheer for them all. I really hope that their schedules align so we can have a comeback. I will wait for that day 💜💜💜💜

Since SNSD started back in the days I am a Fan and I can say that I am totally thankful for all the years they brought joy to my life with their music with their acting in tv shows etc. and even now on my way to work or whatever I listen to their songs and always get directly a good mood and I think that is something I will always be thankful towards the Girls. So no matter what the future will bring I wish that they all stay happy in what they are doing and that they can fufill all their dreams.

Love her . Tiff is legit bomb-sauce. That new Jam "Lips on Lips" is the shit!

well yeah that is true. all the girlgroups you all see today were basically "invented" by girls generation (and ofc others old legend ggs like wonder girls, 2ne1 and etc). THEY PAVED THE WAY

I don't know Tiffany well but watching this interview just makes me like her more and more 💕

Seeing her smile is a remedy💛

She's still so careful about her words 💕

I still like the Fannypack‘s

God bless this interview! The MCs asked the real questions!

Man time flies by, I remember entering to Kpop because of SNSD and even until now they are my favorite girl group ever! I'm happy that they are moving on and trying new things :D

just want say " plz SNSD 9 member do a reunion for once, plz... " 😭😥

Really hypocritical how they made jessica choose only one, which was either her business or the group. This may or may not pertain the girls but how the company let them do this.

Its funny how the comments are all about Jessica, blah blah people asking to respect her etc but they couldnt even respect the other GG members.I can feel like her fans are just being defensive about her and butthurt because OT 8 despite senseless comments in social media about Jessica continued without her and able to still make it - hello Lionheart era, Party, Phantasia their highest tour. So Jessica stans plus other bandwagoners just comments to slander them.Im glad they stand tall and strong to fight for their group even until now supporting each other every event. Im also glad they dont really reas much international fans, because I believe its different in Korea.The fans are closer to the truth so they actually support the OT8 and was even a time when they sort of “hate” Jessica for leaving the group.Again its because they are closer to the truth than anyone else speculating here.

she is a amazing human! i love her so much

Ok but ? I would love to hear her sing and perform again

Accept the reality, dont blame Jessica or SM because at some point, in our generation. No group will still dance or perform on their middle age. people in this age, will always love brand new and fresh. That's why all of them might try their best to find another way so that when time comes, they will be disbanded. they can still work and have their own money. And now we can see that Jessica is so ahead of them, because she can circulate money on her own hardworking hands without label or agency controlling her..

i'm just crying because one of my life's biggest dreams was to see an OT9 concert live! I wanted it so bad! IDK! I'm happy for the girls now! But you can't never tell me otherwise that the times with all the 9 of them was the best!

She is so sparklingly gorgeous.......

My love for SNSD burst after the treatment of Jessica. And I was not even a Jessica fan. I still love Yoona as much as I ever did...but I really lost all the love for the group...and I was a hardcore fan for since 2010. I put my kpop energy into Apink and CLC. I am still waiting for one of the SNSD girls to give out the real scoop about Jessica. Whatever the real reason is I don't care. I just want some transparency and honesty for once.

Aside from Jessica, I love Tiffany’s accent so much! So calm to ears. 👍🏻

I love her so much 😭❤

gotta admit ..i like her personality.. kind and charming..she always speak profesionally..

90% of the comments is all about jessica 😌

i didnt really feel positively about her before when she was in snsd.. The few times i watch her in shows, sometimes i had a feeling that she was pretending to be happy or she was trying hard to fit in the atmosphere but did not.(Disclaimer: this is just my own humble opinion as a random audience of tv programs and with not many knowledge of the group members's personalities. I would definitely keep to myself if not for the purpose of comparison in this comment~). After she left SNSD, she started appearing more speaking English, and that awkward atmosphere about her is gone in my eyes. I understand that she mentioned about dreaming to be a Disney princess, to be in broadway, and now she is taking her time to realize what she has always dreamed off, no matter how hard it is or how old she is. I really admire her for that! I am sure she love her time as an SNSD member, but her aura is just different doing what she loves in the environment she is most comfortable with. I am not her fan, but I am happy for a woman who found her path and her new strengths.

im proud of our girls as long as they are happy i am happy

the background music is really emotional

If tiffany is scary to survive by her own, jessica is double triple scary because she is alone before

Tiffany is just the best and I love her happy personality so much. Also the Fany Packs would be a perfect fandom name haha ❤

Now they’re together again! 🤘🏻😎

She really is a gem. Im very proud of her.
