Jessica is passionately singing Girls' Generation songs, attracting attention. On the 11th of this month, she held a solo concert at Arena of Stars in Malaysia. On this day, it was reported that Jessica delivered a heartfelt performance of a Girls' Generation medley. Fans posted videos from the concert on social media, tagging her, showcasing songs like 'Into the New World,' 'Gee,' 'GENIE,' 'I Got A Boy,' and 'Mr. Mr.' Jessica adorned the stage with her remarkable beauty and singing ability, which have not changed much since her time with Girls' Generation. However, opinions about this stage are divided, given that Jessica has previously revealed her feelings after leaving the group. Some view it as merely expressing gratitude to long-time fans who create memories by editing her songs with those of other members. She has been active as a solo artist since leaving Girls' Generation. In September 2014, Jessica posted on Weibo (Chinese version of X), 'I was preparing for my upcoming official schedule when I received notice from the agency and the eight members that as of today, I am no longer a member of Girls' Generation. I have been prioritizing and actively dedicating myself to Girls' Generation activities, so I am very confused to receive such notice for unjust reasons.' Meanwhile, SM Entertainment stated in an official comment, 'This spring, Jessica informed us that due to her personal circumstances, she would be halting group activities after one more album. Despite her sudden announcement, we and the Girls' Generation members have continuously worked hard to ensure good activities for the group. However, due to a lack of precise adjustments regarding conflicting priorities and interests in Girls' Generation activities, Jessica's decision to start a fashion-related business led to a situation where it was impossible to maintain the team.' In 2023, she appeared on the Singapore podcast 'The Daily Ketchup,' where she shared her feelings after leaving. When asked about the struggles of being a celebrity, Jessica replied, 'There are good and bad points. Sometimes I feel very blessed, but there are times I want to live like an ordinary person, like a friend. However, no one can have everything, so I try to balance my life as much as possible.' Regarding the differences between solo and group activities, she confessed, 'When you're in a group, you realize that the majority always wins, so even if you don't want to drink tea, if five people want to, you have to drink it. It's a simple example, but it happens from very small choices to big things, so you have to know how to deal with that system.' She continued to share her feelings after leaving, stating, 'The past is the past, and I have tried to focus on the bright side,' while also admitting, 'Of course, that was one of the most difficult and dark times in my life.' She emphasized, 'But I have family and friends who support me, and my fans have always been there. Therefore, I didn't feel lonely. I thought it was a good time to grow even more.'
