Jessica Finishes Last ‘Legally Blonde’ Performance and Celebrates with Fans

On March 6th, Jessica gave her final performance as “Elle Woods” in the musical adaptation of “Legally Blonde”, with Sunny and Sooyoung in the audience. Afterward, fans of Jessica arranged an event for SONEs to meet her and commemorate this last stage. During this time, she received gifts from the fans, exchanged some cheerful banter, and answered several questions. The event also included a mock graduation ceremony for Jessica since Elle Woods, her character in the musical, obtained a degree from Harvard Law School at the end of the story.

When Jessica first arrived, she was greeted with loud cheers from the fans in attendance. SONEs who had come from all over the world shouted out to her, and Jessica replied cutely in Thai, as well as in English for a fan from Amsterdam. A cake was brought in, Jessica received her “diploma”, and then everyone sang their congratulations. After they finished, Jessica sang back to express her thanks.

Once Jessica blew the candles on her cake, she began admiring the gifts that had been prepared. One fan drew a portrait of her, and she jokingly asked, “Why do I look so old? Who drew this?”, immediately followed by, “You drew it well. Thank you.” The fun interactions continued when Jessica replied in English to one of the fans, and another shouted that they didn’t understand. Jessica put on a playful indignant expression as she demanded, “Study English! Are you even my fan?”

Jessica also took a serious moment to sincerely thank SONEs for supporting “Sic Woods” and Girls’ Generation. When some fans expressed regret at not being able to attend the second Japan arena tour, she hinted that in the future, the girls will be holding concerts in South Korea and other locations, such as Hong Kong and Thailand. She continued to answer questions, including requests to “bend and snap!” and mentioned how she would remember her cast members and the songs much more than the single kiss scene.

The event was over all too soon, and both Jessica and the fans were reluctant for her to leave. Although this run of “Legally Blonde” is now complete, the event was able to give SONE and Girls’ Generation member alike many more precious memories.

After having modeled for Lotte Department Store since March of last year, Girls’ Generation has renewed its endorsement contract with the popular retail company for another year.

Girls’ Generation was the first idol group ever asked to endorse Lotte Department Store and was hired in order to attract customers in their teens and twenties with the group’s “bouncy” image, trend-leading fashion sense, and wide range of fans. In a survey held by Lotte Department Store in November, over 50% of participants answered that the store’s image “feels more bright and cheerful than before”. 70% of those surveyed also knew that Girls’ Generation modeled for Lotte Department Store. A source from Lotte Department Store stated, “Girls’ Generation helped a lot in creating a young image for the department store.

We considered other models too, but ultimately decided on renewing our contract with Girls’ Generation.”
