Jessica Attends Burberry Taiwan Flagship Store Opening

On April 26th, Girls’ Generation’s Jessica attended the opening of a new Burberry store in “Taipei 101″, a skyscraper and an icon of Taiwan. This was the second Burberry event in which Girls’ Generation has participated, after Tiffany, Yoona and Seohyun flew to London as Korea’s representatives for the “2012 F/W Burberry Prorsum Fashion Show” in February earlier this year. Christopher Bailey, Burberry’s creative managing director who personally invited Tiffany, Yoona and Seohyun to London, also thanked Jessica with a hard-written note, which read, “Dear Jessica – Welcome to Taipei!!! So pleased you can join us on Thursday + really looking forward to see you. All my best, Christopher.”

Along with other global stars such as Daniel Henney and Jolin Tsai, Jessica attended a short media photo session at the store opening in which she revealed that she has been working on Girls’ Generation’s next Japanese album and getting lots of rest. She also promised to return to Taiwan in the future with the other members of Girls’ Generation.

At the photo session, Jessica had the chance to take photos with Daniel Henney, who she once admitted is her ideal type of man.

Daniel Henney later tweeted a photo of himself with Jessica, saying “Great event last night! Had fun w/Jessica from snsd…” Jessica then also posted a similar photo and a message on Girls’ Generation’s official website. She began the message saying “had fun w/ daniel :)” and then continued by thanking fans in Taiwan once more for their warm welcome. The photo and full translated message can be found here.

More photos of Jessica at the event can be found in Soshified’s Photos Section. Check out Burberry’s video of the store opening and press coverage of Jessica at the media session below. Jessica appears at 0:17 of the Burberry video and at 0:54 of the second news video.
