130213 SNSD Jessica to arrive late to an event

Girls’ Generation’s Jessica is currently receiving many criticisms for her lack of punctuality.

On February 12th, Jessica made a 30-minute-late arrival at a PR event for the cosmetics brand which she acts as promotional model at the Lotte Department Store in Sogongdong, Seoul, without any proper explanation.

According to a representative of the event, “Earlier that morning, Jessica was busy preparing for her upcoming Japanese arena tour. However, that ended later than planned, and that’s why she was late to the event. The Lunar New Year’s traffic, as well as the numerous fans waiting outside the venue, made it extremely hard for her through. Jessica wanted to apologize, but because we were stretched for time, she couldn’t. She’s truly sorry.”

Fans left comments such as, “Was it really that impossible to take a minute to explain?” “Why doesn’t she just apology herself,” “Is a lack of punctuality a sign of arrogance?” “Girls’ Generation must be really busy,”and more.
