The 31-year-old who also designs clothes for her apparel brand BLANC & ECLARE debuted in 2007 and quit in 2014. She signed a management contract with Coridel Entertainment in 2016.
RH Korea, a book publisher, said in a statement on September 17 that Jessica's novel will be released later this month. It is a hyper-realistic fiction that depicts a story about a fictional character named Rachael Kim, a Korean-American K-pop star trainee, who struggles her way into the professional K-pop scene.
"The novel raises the sense of immersion by portraying the long training period which a K-pop star must go through, the harsh evaluation that comes from countless people, strict rules, endless jealousy, secret media play and unfair treatment a person has to receive just because she is a 'female' star," RH Korea said.
