When Girls’ Generation debuted in 2007, the line-up consisted of nine members and remained that way until 2014, when Jessica Jung‘s departure was suddenly announced.

Reasoning given varied, but through the years, fans have come to their own conclusions based on member actions, including the release of Jessica’s book, Shine. Since then, Jessica has continued her career as a solo artist, primarily active in China, but has a large fanbase worldwide.

On January 11, the idol began her 2026 Reflections tour in Malaysia, where she entertained fans with performances.
The idol performed the show in three acts, with the third act being titled “Memories of an era.” This portion of the concert was kicked off with a medley of Girls’ Generation songs, including “Gee,” “I Got A Boy,” and “Genie.”
