On the 14th of November, Jessica was at the airport in a dark grey shirt with a cardigan and jeans, and her casual outfit showed that she is as human as everyone else. However, what fans have been praising her for is that when fans recognised and surrounded her with cameras, Jessica did not get irritated, but responded by smiling and taking photos with them. In the photos, she held up a peace sign naturally and smiled, making her all the more lovable.
After photos of her kind gesture started circulating on various online communities, Netizens have been praising her by saying, “She’s as kind as she is pretty.” Other comments included,
“Jessica’s manners are the best!”, “I thought she was an ice princess but she seems so friendly with the fans.” and “She shines even with those clothes. I’m so envious.”
Jessica is definitely ridding her image of “Ice Princess” and replacing it with a warm hearted, “Kind Princess.”

Due to its outstanding showing at this American concert, the girl group can now rightfully be named one of the international representatives of K-Pop.
Girls' Generation recently released its title song, "The Boys," from its third regular album, which has earned a spot in the top 5 on Billboard's K-Pop Hot 100 chart ever since its debt. "The Boys", created a lot of buzz even before the single's release, as it was produced by none other than Teddy Riley - the famed producer of the late pop legend, Michael Jackson. The group also released an English version of this hit track for their international listeners (see the music video below). Girls' Generation's music video was recently released on YouTube and has already garnered over 17 million views - proving the girl group's internationally spreading fame. The girls are under contract with Universal Music Group, which also boasts such talents as Lady Gaga, Eminem, and the Black Eyed Peas. This past June, this K-pop girl group released its second album in Japan, which shot to the top of the Billboard Japan weekly chart by selling an impressive 230,000 copies.
On the recent episode of ‘SBS Inkigayo‘, Sulli, one of the show’s MC’s and a member of f(x), made fans laugh with her adorable request.
MC Lee Seung Gi thanked his fans for his comeback by stating, “I will work even harder for the fans who waited patiently for me.”
Then Sulli suddenly stated, “Can you fuss my hair like you did to SNSD‘s YoonA?” in reference to the past episode of ‘Strong Heart‘, in which Lee Seung Gi fussed the young lady’s hair after she revealed that she loved that kind of action.
Taken aback, Lee Seung Gi stated, “Right now?” However he laughed shyly and quickly patted her head. To this, MC IU said, “Now all of the female fans will be jealous. Let’s announce the next artist.”
