Former Girls’ Generation member Jessica (Jessica Jung) is reportedly facing a lawsuit worth over 2 billion won against two Chinese entertainment agencies.

Jessica lost both her first and second legal trials against the Beijing Arbitration Commission. Allegedly back in 2016, Jessica’s management agency Coridel Capital Management signed a contract with two Chinese agencies regarding Jessica’s promotions in China. As a result, the two Chinese agencies obtained exclusive management authorities over Jessica’s promotions until February 2019.

However, the two agencies submitted a request with the Beijing court, claiming that Jessica’s side failed to properly abide by the contract’s contents. The request demanded that Coridel Capital Management pay fees worth 2 billion won.

As of now, the Beijing court ruled in favor of the two Chinese agencies. Jessica’s side decided to transfer the ongoing legal case to South Korean court; however, the Korean court also allegedly decided to agree with the Beijing court’s ruling during the first and second trials. Jessica’s side intends to appeal again, according to reports.
