The South Korean fashion icon and music superstar will celebrate her 31st birthday on April 18 – here’s everything you need to know

It’s been several years since Jessica Jung left Girls' Generation and built her fashion empire. However, since her SNSD days she has always been busy launching solo albums (“Wonderland”, “My Decade” and “With Love, J”) – as well as creating stylish collections for her very own fashion brand, Blanc & Eclare.

As she turns 31 on April 18, here’s five things to know about the K-pop idol-turned-fashion icon.

She launched a YouTube channel

The top idol launched her YouTube channel – titled Jessica Land – in January 2020. As of April, she’s already managed to attract more than 380,000 subscribers.

Her vlogs cover day-to-day life, such as her fashion week activities and adventures with her sister, Krystal Jung. Since we’re all self-isolating, this might be the perfect time to watch her adventures in Paris, New York or the Bahamas.

Long-time fans who miss her angelic voice can also look out for song covers. In March, she uploaded her own version of Let It Go from Frozen.

She will publish a book

Jessica will be adding author to her long list of achievements. Her YA novel Shine will be released on September 29.

The book follows the adventures of Rachel, a Korean-American girl recruited as a part of a nine-girl group for a major Korean entertainment label.

While we have yet to read the full story, Netflix has already made plans to turn the book into a live-action film.

She joined Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list in 2017
