Following her much-talked-about ouster from SM Entertainment's marquee girl group Girls' Generation almost two months ago, Jessica Jung has made her first public appearance in Korea.

On November 25, Jessica attended the opening event of luxury fashion brand Fendi at the Lotte World Hall Avenue in Jamsil-dong, Seoul, Daily Kpop News reports. The former Girls' Generation member wore a black knit three-fourth blouse matched with a semi-pleated colored skirt and ankle boots.

According to Koreaboo, Jessica was featured in the boutique opening's photo wall and photo time event. According to the report, the event was attended by approximately 40 fans and 100 people. Despite the presence of people from the press, the singer-fashion designer reportedly remained composed and professional.

Jessica greeted her fans before she left the event, which was also graced by actress Song Ji Hyo.

While this was her first public appearance in Korea, Jessica has appeared in many events overseas. She attended the 2014 Mission Hills World Celebrity Pro-Am in China where she met global celebrities such as Chris Evans, Nicole Kidman, Jay Chou, and more.

Jessica was recently spotted with her rumored boyfriend Tyler Kwon in the boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Chris Algieri in Macau. Actor Philip Ng, who was also present in the boxing event, later posted on his Weibo account a photo of him with Jessica.

In other news, Jessica has graced the cover of Hong Kong's Marie Claire magazine for its December issue.

In the interview with the magazine, Jessica said, "My body has the entertainment industry flowing through me, but my fashion company also flows through me. I am currently working very hard and my goal is to succeed in both of these fields."

Meanwhile, Girls' Generation continues to promote with eight remaining members, Taeyeon, Tiffany, Sooyoung, Seohyun, Yuri, Yoona, Hyoyeon, and Sunny. The group will be having their 7^th anniversary concert in Guangzhou on January 4, which will be their first large-scale event in mainland China.
