SM Ent denies rumours that Jessica was violated

[belong.livejournal.com]

Earlier today, a video of Girls' Generation at the 12th Annual Korea-China Song Festival created controversy. A fancam from the festival caught the attention of SONES as it contained footage of what seemed like a man touching Jessica inappropriately.

Jessica was seen quickly turning to Hyoyeon and whispering something into her ear, which caused Hyoyeon to sharply look in the direction of a man and open her mouth in shock and disgust. Jessica then went to Sooyoung who also turned and looked in the general direction to where Jessica was standing previously. Soon after, the man began to move away from the scene, and walk off.

However, due to the low quality of the video and the fact that it was impossible to see what was happening behind the members, no one was able to confirm the validity of the rumours. SM Entertainment confirmed that the rumours were false stating, "The rumours of sexual harassment towards member Jessica are simply not true. If an inappropriate incident took place, we would have taken immediate action. We do not want a misunderstanding."

It looks like some netizens and SONES read a bit too much into the video, but in fairness, the scene did look very suspicious. It's good to hear that Jessica was not touched inappropriately, but we're still curious as to why Hyoyeon had that expression after Jessica spoke to her.

lol, why did i just mouth along with kevin once i actually understood what he was saying?

[dorkiilove.livejournal.com]

why do i feel like this is a attempt to not address the issue

[perfume.livejournal.com]

Or even a cover up because the perpetrator is an important higher up in business.

*~SHADY~*

[ms-rancha.livejournal.com]

poor sica....

poor korean girls..........

[loverboy.livejournal.com]

Umm they better explain those dirty looks and uncomfortable moments in that vid or no one's gonna believe them.

[latoshan32.livejournal.com]

He farted.

WE HAVE A SITUATION

GIF IS APPROPRIATE

[shineestars.livejournal.com]

okay, my 2cents.

i do think she was violated. look at the 3rd clip on the akp site.
i initially didnt see anything, until i saw a comment that the old man put his arms on her waist near the end.
i followed and looked.
THAT'S RIGHT, HE DID PUT HIS HANDS ON HER WAIST.

isn't this counted as a molestation? yeah sure the fancams were shaky, but there's evidence no?

maybe that old man is some bigshot, and SM IS TOO SCARED TO OFFEND HIM.

no wonder they say the entertainment world is FULL OF DARKNESS

pfft

isn't it kinda obvious at 0:15?

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

As much as I want to believe them, I just can't. Even if something did happen she probably wouldn't say anything to the company, and even if she happened to it's not like they would do anything about it anyway.

Does anyone know who this guy was? Did he work for SM or a company close to them?

[lightspeedsquid.livejournal.com]

was just thinking this, i'd really like to know who the guy is too

[xox-roxygurl.livejournal.com]

SME, we have eyes, and it sure as hell looked like something inappropriate happened

[fishydotlove.livejournal.com]

basically,

jessica: "that guy stepped on my whatever-brand shoe."

hyoyeon: "fucker." :|


yeah right...

[hellomikohello.livejournal.com]

lol..or maybe.."that guy just farted!"

[perfume.livejournal.com]

I also enjoyed that Sports Chosun continued to blame allkpoop for "defaming" Jessica's name by writing the article. Korea, you slay me.

[sya-fhya.livejournal.com]

i love how sports chosun make it sounds like reporting the possibility of jessica getting violated = damaging snsd's image.

[jibegajima.livejournal.com]

jfc SMENT, this is a serious fucking issue can you not do this just once?
I really, really hope, for all of their sakes, that it just LOOKS worse than it actually is.

[stellar-13.livejournal.com]

ot but do you have a link to a vid of your gif. i love that expession on him hhhahaXD

[volume1995.livejournal.com]

lol at this whole thing, if it isn't true, hyoyeon wouldn't have looked that weird at the man and sica wouldn't have traded places with sooyoung :(

[mara-ciro.livejournal.com]

Nor would have JongKey wondered what was happening at look at the direction Sica came from.

[pandaranger.livejournal.com]

Knew they'd do this... "There's no way SM will be direct about the situation so they'll probably say it was a misunderstanding and be like Tae was perving again~ :/" Stop trying to be all spick and span!

[perfume.livejournal.com]

Perfect use of macro.

[killclosedrown.livejournal.com]

Convenient that they tell us what didn't happen, but fail to mention what exactly did. =/

When will we ever *not* side-eye, SME?

Honestly, I couldn't really tell whether the man actually sexually harassed her because of the poor quality of the fancam.

We all came to a conclusion that something went down because Sica moved away from her original position, and Sooyoung and Hyoyeon gave the man death glares.
For all we know, the man might have just farted.

But if the higher ups were really trying to cover this matter up, then all I can say is that I feel extremely sorry for Sica or any other girls in the industry who have to put up with this shit.

[gaypornstash.livejournal.com]

Considering their reactions, that would have had to have been one hell of a fart.

[qrizta.livejournal.com]

Of course they would.

Korean medias even blame AKP for damaging SNSD's image.
How is being groped a damage to an image??
For once I'm siding with AKP. :/

[pandaranger.livejournal.com]

Yup, same here. :/

[browncardboard.livejournal.com]

But SM always lies.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Is that sarcastic or something?

[inati.livejournal.com]

um what? even in the HQ fancam you could see his hand moving up to sneak a feel at her breast. their reactions to the man were way too shocking for me to believe this tbh.
