On March 6th, Jessica gave her final performance as “Elle Woods” in the musical adaptation of “Legally Blonde”, with Sunny and Sooyoung in the audience. Afterward, fans of Jessica arranged an event for SONEs to meet her and commemorate this last stage. During this time, she received gifts from the fans, exchanged some cheerful banter, and answered several questions. The event also included a mock graduation ceremony for Jessica since Elle Woods, her character in the musical, obtained a degree from Harvard Law School at the end of the story.

SONEs who had come from all over the world shouted out to her, and Jessica replied cutely in Thai, as well as in English for a fan from Amsterdam. A cake was brought in, Jessica received her “diploma”, and then everyone sang their congratulations. After they finished, Jessica sang back to express her thanks.
Once Jessica blew the candles on her cake, she began admiring the gifts that had been prepared. One fan drew a portrait of her, and she jokingly asked, “Why do I look so old? Who drew this?”, immediately followed by, “You drew it well. Thank you.” The fun interactions continued when Jessica replied in English to one of the fans, and another shouted that they didn’t understand. Jessica put on a playful indignant expression as she demanded, “Study English! Are you even my fan?”
Jessica also took a serious moment to sincerely thank SONEs for supporting “Sic Woods” and Girls’ Generation. When some fans expressed regret at not being able to attend the second Japan arena tour, she hinted that in the future, the girls will be holding concerts in South Korea and other locations, such as Hong Kong and Thailand. She continued to answer questions, including requests to “bend and snap!” and mentioned how she would remember her cast members and the songs much more than the single kiss scene.
The event was over all too soon, and both Jessica and the fans were reluctant for her to leave. Although this run of “Legally Blonde” is now complete, the event was able to give SONE and Girls’ Generation member alike many more precious memories.credit
