Jessica Jiyeon says goodbye on Inkigayo

After taking top honors over T-ara’s “Cry Cry” on the latest unaired episode of Mnet’s M! Countdown, Jessica Jiyeon decided to wrap up promotions for her hit single “Last Winter” on yesterday's Inkigayo.

Jessica joined the ranks of such idols as SHINee, After School, f(x), B2ST, and MBLAQ with her version of the popular Traffic Safety Song, as this week’s PSA. Jessica is one of only two solo artists to record a version of the song {the first being Lee Hyori in 2008}.

“I’ve always wanted to do one!” Jessica excitedly told AKF “I'm so honored to have been asked.”

Jessica was able to deliver the meaningful message of the song, a collaborative campaign between SBS’ Inkigayo and the Korean Transportation Safety Authority, while fully displaying her friendly charms & unknown rap skills.

"I'm not a rapper but I had a lot of fun trying it out." Jessica laughed "I think I'll leave it to Tiffany from now on."

Later, she gave an emotional final performance of “Last Winter” alongside B2ST’s Jun Hyung, who sent the attending B2UTIES in the audience into hysterics after his absence from the previous week's episode. The two held hands & forced back their tears as the song ended. However, they were unable to remain unemotional as Jessica was later announced as the night’s winner.

With a successful single & three music program wins under her belt, Jessica has stated she plans on focusing on acting in the coming months.

“Music is my 1st love, but acting is something I‘ve wanted to do since I was a little girl. I don’t want to pile too much on my plate all at once like some people do & get burnt out. My goal is to avoid time in the hospital for exhaustion & pace myself. I’m in no rush with my career.”

Netizens had this to say about Jessica's farewell:

"I'm so happy for her! JESSICA FIGHTING!", "I just wanted to hold Jun Hyung oppa and never let him go!!! Men who cry are boyfriend material", "I'm glad she's finally done with this stupid song. 2NE1's "Lonely" shits bricks all over "Last Winter"!", and "Was this her first time rapping? She was actually pretty good! She's definitely better than a certain rapper from 4minute. Not as sexy though. I really need to stop watching the "Troublemaker" mv. It's doing something to my brain LOL"

Jessica Jiyeon: "Suzy saved my life"

Heathers appeared on the latest episode of Strong Heart along with Sunny Hill this week. While Tiffany Taeyeon entertained the crowd with a story of her attempt to secure an autograph from SHINee's Jonghyun by dressing up as a giant panda & dancing to "Love Like Oxygen" for his birthday during her trainee days, it was Jessica Jiyeon’s confession involving Suzy Sooyoung that shocked the audience.

Jessica recounted one harrowing night shortly before Girls’ Revolution’s debut when, while making her way into the dorm, she was accosted by a man in a ski mask.

“He pulled me into this little hallway that connected our dorm to the elevators & put his hand over my mouth.” she recalled “He had a knife against my chest. It was the most frightening thing I’ve ever gone through.”

“I couldn’t even scream for help…” she said softly, as tears began to fall down her face. Sunny Hill’s Janghyun passed her his gold & fuchsia handkerchief as she continued “Suddenly, he’s yanked away from me! I was so stunned by what had just happened it took me a second to realize Suzy had arrived, grabbed him by his shirt collar, & flung him to the ground! She was attacking him with all her might!”

After she finished her story, host Lee Seung Gi gave her a chance to send Suzy a message.

“Suzy…I never say it enough, but your unnie really does love you. You’re like the little sister I never had. Thank you for being you. Thank you for saving my life.”
