The article noted that in the show featuring the sisters, "Jessica & Krystal," the younger sister prepared a surprise event for Jessica with a note saying that she will always be on Jessica's side. "I'm so glad to have you on my side. I'm always on your side too. Thank you, always. Let's stop crying now," Krystal's message read. The article says that Jessica immediately cried when she saw the note.
Krystal is also under SM Entertainment, although from a different group called "f(x)".
