The former girl group member released her third solo EP “My Decade” Wednesday, marking her 10th anniversary this year. In an interview with local media outlets, Jessica said she wanted to strip off her glamor and show her true self in the latest solo release.

Jessica left the group in 2014 to pursue her solo career under Coridel Entertainment that was established and headed by her boyfriend Tyler Kwon.
