Former Girls’ Generation member Jessica Jung kicked off her solo tour “Reflections” on January 11, 2026, in Malaysia. During the show, she surprised the fans with a medley of Girls’ Generation’s biggest hits, such as “The Boys,” “I GOT A BOY,” “Genie,” “Mr. Mr.,” “Gee,” and “Into The New World,” all performed on her own. This marked the first time Jessica performed these tracks since her departure from the girl group on September 30, 2014, over 12 years ago.
Another moment that stood out to many fans was a VCR showing Jessica’s history as a prominent K-pop idol, playing nostalgic clips from the KPop star as a member of Girls’ Generation. The fragments feature the entire group without any blurring, cutting, or censoring of her former bandmates. This marks a stark contrast from Girls’ Generation’s approach to Jessica’s departure in their material, as she was removed from images of the girl group.
Fans at the show reacted with enthusiasm to the medley, and reactions were also heated on social media. The medley has divided users and some Girls’ Generation fans with different opinions. For example, some stated that it felt unfair for Jessica to perform these songs after publishing books (“Shine,” and “Bright”) that, many felt, alluded negatively to other Girls’ Generation members. At the same time, other fans expressed that she has a right to these songs as she recorded them in the past. They also praised her for performing a medley than felt more dynamic than other Girls’ Generation members have done in their own concerts or fanmeetings.
