President Barack Obama is a fan of BIGBANG?

Jessica Jiyeon wins her first Mutizen!

Jessica Jiyeon secured her 1st solo music program win on SBS’ Inkigayo tonight with her hit ballad, "Last Winter"!

The big-voiced diva snatched the victory from her close friends, the Wonder Girls, who have struggled with their comeback since returning to Korea with their new album last month.

"We were very disappointed to lose again," said Wonder Girl Sohee after the show. "I have lots of confidence on stage and try my best to make up for my voice, but the other girls are just too nervous, especially Lim. I think she has really ruined our comeback. I even blame her for breaking our trophy on M! Countdown. I just can't believe that we lose to SNSD all the time, especially when our album is so much better."

However, a frustrated Sohee continued and expressed her best wishes for Jessica's win.

"This is the only time that we have lost that I'm not upset," she explained. "Jessica is our sister, so all the Wonder Girls support her success. I don't think SNSD feel the same though; they looked upset when her name was read out, especially Taeyeon unnie."

To cement their friendship, the Wonder Girls joined Jessica on stage to perform "Last Winter" together, which was met with united cheers from the Wonderfuls and Jessters in the audience.

After the show wrapped up, Jessica and her manager, White Entertainment co-CEO KellyRose Spires, spoke openly to the media in an impromptu press conference held in the backstage hallway near SNSD's dressing room.

“We knew "Last Winter" would be the song to take Jessica to the top!" said KellyRose, quite loudly. "Jessica is too talented to not be a success. She isn't just one those model type artists that just use their looks to get by. "Last Winter" is real music that's driven by powerful vocals and deep lyrics."

"Jessica is very proud that she decided to work with a Korean composer for this song," she continued. "So that she can help pump money back into the local economy now that the song is a hot digital seller. Some people use foreign producers just to gain attention, but White Entertainment aren't like that at all. Please buy "Last Winter" on Soribada now if you want to support Korea during these hard economic times."

After the win and Kelly's bold comments, Netizens flooded to our forums to share their thoughts on what went down.

Comments included, "What Kelly says is true. Jessica may not be a full-blooded Korean, but she has the true spirit of this country pumping through her veins", "Don't Tiffany and Suzy work with foreigners all the time? And didn't Jessica work with JD Relic on "Bad Girl"? He's caucasian & American.", "I'm so happy for Jessica to have a victory over these big artists. Girls' Revolution should reform and ruin 2NE1's comeback.", and "Was anyone else laughing at Lim trying to mime along with Jessica, Yenny, & Sunye? They should have just made her stand off to the side & hold the Mutizen."

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.
