Actor Kim Soo Hyun and Jessica Jiyeon party it up for Cass beer!

On the heels of the announcement of 2NE1’s CL and Strong Heart co-host actor Lee Dong Wook's  upcoming team up, popular beer brand Cass have revealed a 2nd summer pairing in current “It” boy actor Kim Soo Hyun and ‘best friend idol’ Jessica Jiyeon as the new faces for their “Party Like There’s No Tomorrow” campaign! 

Jessica Jiyeon spills about her upcoming SBS drama and covers 2NE1 on “Kiss The Radio”

Jessica Jiyeon took time out of her jam packed schedule to make an appearance on “Kiss The Radio” with Super Junior’s Ryeowook and Sungmin recently, where she opened up about her upcoming drama [“The Seven Of Us”], her dating life, & her future plans.

Jessica Jiyeon makes a cool comeback with "Last Winter"

After attracting controversy with her first mini-album 'Girl Without a Heart' last month, Jessica Jiyeon has made a powerful and startling transformation back into the girl next door image that we all know and love for her new digital single "Last Winter".

Jessica has ditched the dark concept and heavy electronic house beats of her last single "Bad Girl" in favor of a soulful, R&B ballad style that showcases her emotive and strong vocals. The song was composed by K-R&B legend Insooni's longtime producer Lee Hyun Seung, & features a rap verse from B2ST's Jun Hyung.

The lyrics tell the story of a woman coming to terms with the anger and resentment she felt over her broken relationship as she comes face to face with her ex.

"My voice screaming the cold words at you keep trembling

If I look at you, the hurt I tried to suppress feels like it will explode.

They were all memories that distanced and passed away from us like a movie

Every night I made a determination that I would not be shaken again."

"Go back down your path forgetting about me

I can't stop you, I couldn't if I wanted.

If I just extend my hands out you will be there, but I won't do that.

I couldn't if I tried."

Jessica's new style is bound to please her fans who were turned off by the singer's foray into dance music & reliance on shock imagery for "Bad Girl", which underperformed on the charts after it was banned from broadcast by KBS and criticized by the Ministry of Family & Gender Equality.

Speaking exclusively to AllKFlop, White Entertainment Co-CEO KellyRose Spires had this to say about Jessica's comeback: "Jessica was being pushed by a certain unnamed business partner of mine into releasing a style of music that she was not comfortable with. Vulgar lyrics and low-rent nude photoshoots are fine for some artists, but that's not who Jessica is. "Last Winter" is a new beginning for Jessica; it signifies her performing the type of music that she was born to do, and we are very confident that this song will appeal to the public in a way that no Girls' Revolution song, solo or otherwise, has before. Please support this song so we can beat Huh Gak on the charts."

"Last Winter", which was released to digital retailers earlier today, is already in the top five of most real-time charts, and has received an average rating of 4.5/5 stars from users. The only negative reception so far has been from 2NE1's Blackjacks, who have left many mean-spirited spam comments on Melon and Soribada.

Some of these comments included, "This song is BORING!", "Jessica who? Dara slays this bitch", and "Yawn, Elizabeth Taylor Wannabe was decent but this is so lame. 2NE1 please hurry up and come to America!"

Expect Jessica to set hearts aflame when she debuts "Last Winter' on Music Bank on the 11th alongside her close friends Wonder Girls. And as always, keep an eye on AKF for more.

Netizens choose their idol best friends

Last week AllKFlop.com posted a question asking: “who would you choose as your idol best friend?”. With a resounding 3,734 votes White Entertainment’s Jessica Jiyeon came out on top as the clear winner!

Jessica’s easy going nature, extreme humbleness, & well documented work with Korea Cares left a great impression in the hearts of fans everywhere, with netizens commenting: “With everything she’s been through this year the fact that she can put it aside, put on a smile, and help others is inspiring to me!”, “She’s so open & comforting. I feel like I can tell her anything”, “Bubble tea soul sisters 4EVA!!!”, “No matter how much is put in her way she continues on. JESSICA FIGHTING!”

In 2nd place was Dream High actress & “Good Day” singer IU, followed by 2NE1’s Dara in 3rd, miss A’s Jia in 4th & After School’s Raina in 5th.

At the bottom of the list, Jessica’s Heathers group mate Tiffany Taeyeon received only two votes and several negative comments, with many voicing their thoughts on her recent opinions toward her fellow idols, her growing ego, and worsening body issues: “Sure she’s pretty but that’s it”, “Maybe she should worry less about her weight & more about how she comes off to others. All the pretty in the world can’t cover a sour attitude”, “She should take the time to better her Japanese. Has anyone else seen the recent footage of Heathers at Universal Studios Japan? She just stumbled around the stage like a bad Rihanna impersonator, as the backing track did most of the rapping SMH”, “I pity any idols who have to put their peers down to feel better about themselves…but not enough to vote for her!”

Jessica Jiyeon covers Leona Lewis & talks about her break up on Mega Seoul FM

With the Heathers' debut Japanese album Absolute First Album now available, Jessica Jiyeon dropped in on Choi-La & Aok at Mega Seoul FM for a quick chat before departing for Tokyo to begin promotions with Tiffany Taeyeon.

After wowing the room & listeners with a cover of Leona Lewis’ Collide, Choi-La & Aok centered in on Jessica's recent heartbreak. The singer attempted to avoid the barrage of questions by smiling & focusing on Absolute First Album, before finally giving in.

“It was the first real relationship I ever had.”, Jessica revealed “It was so frustrating having everyone telling me to run. Maybe I stayed as an act of rebellion.”

Aok, known for his confrontational interview tactics, then asked about her alleged feud with 2NE1 leader & rumored mistress of Teddy Park, CL.

JESSICA: “What? Where are you getting your information from? There is no bad blood between CL & I. And I know for a fact there is nothing going on between her & Teddy. Besides, 2NE1 are just as busy as Heathers, if not more! Why go from one relationship where things are too manic to work to another?”

Choi-La tried to move the conversation forward but Aok returned to the breakup.

AOK: “So you say you stayed with Teddy as an act of rebellion…huh, that seems to run in your family. Wasn’t your stepfather & ex White Entertainment Chairman Park Su Kang recently arrested for tax evasion? And on top of that, aren’t the current CEOs his ex mistress & an ex drug addict turned mobster’s wife? White Entertainment are a joke! Trina Villota and KellyRose Spires should be run out of Seoul for their scandalous pasts!”

Jessica kept her composure throughout the inquisition and responded with: “I’m really excited for this album. Tiffany & I worked really hard on it. I hope it’s a success.”, before thanking the two & saying her goodbyes as she was ushered out of the room by a handler.

Netizens responded negatively to attack: “Too far Aok”, “Wow…I would have decked him!”, “She sounded better than Leona. Screw you Aok!”, “She handled things like a pro. I‘m proud of her.”
