According to MBC on April 4, Jessica’s label Coridel Entertainment released a statement saying, “Although it is true that Jessica is on a Chinese audition program, we are verifying if the rumors about her being labeled as a Chinese-Korean by producers.”
The label continued, “Because she has left Girls Generation, she doesn’t use the group’s name when she promotes.”
The label would later state that they believed the photo that caused the controversy was fake.
