Sica makes it sound as if SM/"the other 8" turned on her, which could be bad news for them if the public go into her corner.
 @ you saying JYJ are "fine" though, jongshic. They're lucky they have loyal fans. That was a much different time in K-Pop too. So like I said, I'm not sure it there's correlation between the two.

as much as the "sisterly 9 girls" image was one of the core selling points of SNSD, everyone has different view points.
Some fans who think Jessica got unrightfully kicked out by SM+SN8D will side with her and drop SN8D, some fans who still believe in SN8D will side with them
In terms of public image / GP reception, this is super bad for SNSD but Comedor mentioned "will fans support SNSD8?" and I think SN8D will be "fine"
How is JYJ not fine though. They still have top tier physical sales, sold out concerts and do extremely well in the fields they promote in
