110731 SNSD's Jessica flies to New York
This year has been the year of travels for one of Korea's top girl groups, SNSD. From SM Town in Paris to Phuket to Guam to Jeju and their multi-city tour in Japan, the girls of SNSD have traveled more than fifty times to and from one location to another as they strive to complete their schedules. As artists that are at the forefront of spreading K-pop internationally, travel has been expected of SNSD as they rise to the challenge of meeting their growing global appeal.
However, their travel has taken a toll on their members, as there have been incidents during their Japanese tours where the girls' endurance were tested. In several of their concerts, numerous girls were ill or feeling unwell. It was reported that Sooyoung and Jessica experienced illnesses, where one day Sooyoung performed with over an 100 degree Fahrenheit fever and Jessica performed with a sore throat. The most infamous case is the Saitama concert, during which Sunny had to leave the concert and abandon her solo performance and return later, as she was rushed to the hospital during the concert. However, determined to return and give the fans her all, Sunny returned at the end and tearfully apologized, explaining that she was sorry that she could not give her performance and that although the nine girls of SNSD were not all 100% healthy, they still wanted to stand on stage and give their love to their fans.
Despite their health complications, the girls of SNSD pressed on, battling against their injuries despite their options of canceling some of their concerts if their members felt too sick to perform. However, SNSD's professionalism and love for their fans have driven SNSD to withstand the pain and continue their hectic schedules. Even as the girls returned from a photoshoot in Guam, the girls still enthusiastically greeted fans who waited at the airport, not minding their schedules or continuous travels.
Now, back in Korea, it is expected that the nine girls will get a well-deserved break after completing their second concert in Korea and other various activities before they begin preparing for their upcoming album, which will supposedly be this fall. However, numerous fans have reported that as the members of SNSD arrived in the Incheon International Airport, only eight left the airport with their final destination as South Korea! It has been reported by many that Jessica, one of the two American-born members of SNSD, arrived in the airport only to make a connecting flight to the most populated city in America-- New York!
Fan accounts from multiple SONEs and SNSD's Jessica's own fansites have reported that "Jessica took her baggage out from the group of the girls' and proceeded alone to check-in to the flight to New York." Multiple images of Jessica, devoid of the presence of her fellow group members, waving goodbye to fans only served as fuel to the claims that Jessica had indeed boarded another plane leaving Korea.
Fans have even concluded that Jessica must have taken a flight out of Korea by her pictures of her buying Jamba Juice alone, claiming that her wait before departure allowed for her to get her smoothie was part of the inherent wait between flights.
Whatever the case may be, the flood of images and reports of Jessica making a flight to New York all seem to indicate that Jessica is making (or maybe has already made) her way to an iconic city in America! Further rumors have it that Jessica has continued to make connecting flights and has her final destination as New Hampshire, with people stating that her reason for coming to the States is to have a vacation by visiting close friends. Others speculate that Jessica may be attending a photoshoot for some event.
If the rumors are true, then look out, New Hampshire and New York! Looks like some fans might get the chance to meet a member of SNSD in person, so keep your eyes peeled!
