omonatheydidKIM GURA MENTIONS JESSICA IN JTBC “WAR OF WORDS”
Kim Gura revealed his thoughts on Jessica and SM entertainment’s conflict.
On the October 9th episode of “War of Words,” the debate regarding the conflict between SM Entertainment and Jessica was held.
The host of the program Kim Gura stated, “The audience are not taking this as a happy ending. Contrary to other idol groups, the Girls’ Generation member turned their back to Jessica. In the end, all groups go for their own good.”
Kim Gura also stated, “Other members are actively participating in acting and singing, but Jessica seems to find her interest in fashion. If Jessica’s words are true, Jessica may be innocent.” Jessica previously stated that she was participating more in Girls’ Generation activities rather than her fashion business.'
Jessica stopped her contract with SM Entertainment as of September 30th. SM Entertainment has stated through official notice that “Jessica has quit Girls’ Generation due to her personal reasons, and stated that she will finish her contract as of the next album. Even with constant attempt to correct our differences, we could not see a turning point.”
Along with that, SM Entertainment confirmed Girls’ Generation to officially work as a group of 8 from now on, and while deciding when to release the news to the public, Jessica posted her statement on her personal weibo, starting the huge conflict of 2014.
Tyler Kwon Issues A Statement About Jessica Jung's Fashion Brand'
Whatever the truth is behind the timing of Jessica Jung's departure from Girls Generation, both sides agree that it had something to do with the launch of Jessica's fashion business, now called Blanc & Eclare.
Her agency, SM Entertainment, felt that Jessica's responsibilities toward her new fashion brand conflicted with her responsibilities toward the popular girl group. And although she previously discussed leaving the group to focus on her fashion line, Jessica Jung said that she had their support and could handle both ventures through the release of one more Girls Generation album. SM disagreed and moved up the date of her departure.
And as soon as Jung's departure from the group was announced disparaging rumors began spreading about the state of her new business. The rumors included allegations that the business was having problems attracting financial investors.
In answer to those rumors, Jung's boyfriend and business partner Tyler Kwon, has issued a statement about the state of her new fashion line. The press release was issued on Oct. 10 on the fashion brand's official website. Kwon, a Korean-American businessman, wants the public to know that Jessica Jung's company is privately owned. Blanc & Eclare has no plans to seek outside investors and the company has no debts. None of the rumors that circulated have any basis in fact.
"In response to speculation regarding the Blanc & Eclare corporate structure, capital investor Tyler Kwon responds on behalf of the Company's Board of Directors:
Blanc & Eclare is a privately owned company. Founder Jessica Jung took the helm as Head Designer and sought support from Coridel Capital Partners, the only other party providing investment capital to the Company, to support the Founder's goals and ambitions. To date, the Company and its Board of Directors have not approached any other outside equity investors and there are no plans for the debt-free Company to do so in the near future. We have tremendous confidence and remain fully committed to the Blanc & Eclare team that continues to be focused on and executing its global strategic vision."
Tyler Kwon is Chairman and CEO of the Coridel Group, which includes Coridel Capital Partners.
Jessica Jung, who appeared in the drama "Wild Romance," joined Girls Generation in 2007, the year the group debuted. Although she is no longer a member of the group, she will continue to be represented by SM Entertainment as she focuses on her solo career. Her Blanc & Eclare fashion line will include eyewear, fragrance, accessories and ready-to-wear-clothes that are described as both classic and fashion forward.

Date: 2014-10-11 12:58 am (UTC)In order to make a name for himself, he changed his stage name to Gu-ra (a Korean slang meaning “a lie”) and started an Internet-based talk show. Matching witty comments with cursing and outrageous slandering of celebrities, Kim’s show garnered a sizeable fan base online.
Boosted by his newfound “underground” popularity, Kim wiggled his way into the mainstream comedy scene in the mid-2000s and solidified his place with his new style of unpretentious and often vulgar comedy.
Kim’s fame came at a price, however. On one hand gaining fans with his trademark profanity, the comedian also made people deeply uncomfortable with his style of offending just about everyone in sight.
His Internet stint also haunt him to this day; last year, he was pressured to quit all TV activities after his derogatory remarks about comfort women -- former Korean sex slaves of Japanese military during World War II -- were made public.
While Kim made his comeback just months later, many people still express discomfort at his comedy.
“I wish he would just disappear. I don’t know how he can keep making appearances on TV. I was really mad when he told comedian Shin Bong-sun to remarry while she is successful -- Shin has never been married before,” said one Twitter user.
“When you look back to his ‘Internet days,’ what he is doing right now is nothing,” added another user.

Must be weird to finally be able to do what you want after years of being extremely busy. I hope she's somewhere on a nice island sipping champagne and enjoying her new past soshi life.

Both of these songs are also pure jams that sorta have nothin to do with SM? Just goes to show how SM has been so shit musically. Like their best release this year is a 2000 reboot, they didn't even bother to remake the song.

Date: 2014-10-11 03:47 am (UTC)Have other MC/hosts said anything about it? The few I've seen have been on SNSD's side, so I'm curious how the industry people are addressing the issue, not just the fans/media.
