Did you read the OP?

Also, do you know the major reason why she got kicked? If not then let those who want to talk about it talk about it.

yea i did its not very different from your last post. to each his own but i just think no one is getting anywhere talking about it over and over again...continue with your thread tho no ones stopping u!

Like said, we'll never know for sure what happened, so it'll remain speculation.

There's a few things we know though.

From what I recall, Jessica's plans for her business weren't new, it was something that had been discussed and that popped up in interviews in Spring/Summer that year, where Jessica and other SNSD members mentioned that Jessica would be more involved with her business and therefore had less time for SNSD activities in the following year.

So her increased involvement with her own brand was known to all parties that year and apparently something everyone agreed on working out together, initially.

After that, things must've gone wrong. Personally I think it was a misunderstanding between the parties in what was actually agreed upon and what it meant in reality. Conflict got that high, that SM Entertainment did something they hadn't done before, which is removing Jessica from the group.

I also don't think that all SNSD members agreed, the tears at their next concert at the ITNW ballad were real (esp Sunny, who was the closest SNSD member to Jessica at that time).

I think it was most realistically conflict in what Jess, SNSD & SM thought was agreed and the reality. There probably was genuine contractual conflicts which led to it, I'm sure SM genuinely would not have wanted to take Jess out of the group unless there was a really good reason for it.

I think the point though about SM trying to scare the other members into not breaking away as well is a good one. We all saw how SM sabotaged Holiday Night to stop SeoSooFany from leaving, so they probably made the Jess split even worse and harsher to scare the other members.

I remember there was a big rumor that Sica was preparing to have a hiatus after their Japanese promotions.

Not the main reason but it could've played a factor

The other girls' families said no because they felt like their kids were going to be exploited

If they were worried abt their kids being exploited than why tf did they let them sign to SM entertainment?!

signing with that company is like asking to be mistreated

If the reasons were good they would not be a 9/30 and a weibo post.

As someone who was a Jessica bias since Gee to IGAB, I observed that she became distant from Soshi. Even when there was a rumour before Sept that one of the girls will exit, I already predicted it was Jess.

In the end who knows but those involved. I just hope all of them are happy.

The families of other members wanted a cut and did not agree to her using the SNSD brand exclusively for her own financial benefit. Also, several members did not like her and when SM was forced to choose between SNSD the group and Jessica - well, that was it.
