Most of us would recognise Jessica Jung as a former member of the popular South Korean girl group Girls' Generation. She gave us karaoke-worthy hits like Gee, Genie and I Got A Boy.
Since departing the group in 2014, Jessica has proven herself to be a multi-hyphenate. Not only did she build her Blanc & Eclare fashion empire, but she also went on to release a solo album, dabbled in acting as well as dropped the New York Times bestseller book Shine and its sequel Bright in 2020 and 2022 respectively.
In 2020, Jessica was also named the global brand ambassador for Revlon, solidifying her status as a beauty icon.
