K-Pop artist and former Girls' Generation member, Jessica Jung had been rumored to be involved in Korea's political gaffe. She finally broke her silence over rumors involving her with Choi Soon Sil, who is at the center of the political high drama in South Korea, International Business Times reported.

On Nov. 14, Jung's agency, Coridel Entertainment released a statement that slammed all the rumors suggesting she had been receiving confidential information and drafts of the President Park Shin Hye's speeches because of her closeness to Soon Sil.

Soon Sil was accused of taking benefit of her closeness to the President, setting off a chain of events that resulted in the opposition demanding President's resignation.

Allkpop reported that Jung was allegedly involved with Soon Sil as suspicions on her aroused when Congressman Ahn Min Suk, during an interview, revealed that there was a celebrity who was receiving favors from Choi Soon Sil.

Following the incident, netizens started to come up with names of celebrities who could be linked to Soon Sil. Unfortunately, Jung was zeroed down as she started receiving flak on social media after several people started believing that she was the actress that Ahn Min Suk was talking about. Jung was then dragged into Korea's political scandal, forcing her agency to speak up on behalf of her.

"We want to state that our artist has nothing to do with Choi Soon Sil Gate and the mentioned celebrity related to the scandal," said Coridel Entertainment in the statement.

The statement also mentioned that Congressman Ahn Min Suk has also clarified the online posts going around are false and have been edited and put together as if they were real articles.

The statement further added that they will take legal actions against those malicious online posts and social media contents and asked everyone to delete all posts about it since it is a matter that greatly damages reputation and honor of Jessica.
