Rapper Jessi is one of the most popular celebrities in Korean entertainment today. Through the release of topping charts and her appearances on different TV programs, Jessi has become one of the most popular names in South Korea.

On the other hand, Jessi is a woman who has a lot of surprises. Here are 6 shocking facts about Jessi that you may not have known before!

1. EXID’s “Up & Down”

The song “Up & Down” that brought EXID to the top of their popularity is actually a song made for Jessi. However, since the song did not go along well with her artistic direction at the time, the song was eventually given to Hani and friends.

2. The first thing Jessi said to DAWN

Jessi and DAWN are currently under the same agency, namely P-NATION. On an episode of “Showterview with Jessi”, DAWN said that he first talked to Jessi on the phone.

At that time he asked about the English lyrics in his latest song. And guess what Jessi’s answer is? “Hey you f*cker! You call this crap English?” Gosh! That’s harsh!

3. Almost made her debut in a K-Pop girl group

This fact is perhaps among the most unexpected ones. She is known as an outspoken woman and far from being innocent. However, when she was a trainee she could have debuted in a girl group. What group is it? SM’s legendary group SNSD!

Not many fans are really aware of this. But, Tiffany and Jessi have talked about this before. Also, on one of the episodes of “Showterview with Jessi” with Super Junior’s Heechul as the guest star, Heechul once said it as well. Wow!

4. Once debuted in a co-ed group

This fact about Jessi may not be known to many fans. In 2014, this solo singer debuted again in a co-ed group called Lucky J with rapper J’Kyun and vocalist J-Yo. Their debut song is “Can You Hear Me”. They debuted under YMC Entertainment.

5. Have had a fake ‘wedding’

In one episode of “Sister Slam Dunk” aired in 2016, Jessi was once the bride in a fake wedding. The groom is Jinkyung who is also a woman.

Watching this episode will make you laugh, but there is a moment of emotion when Jessi’s father reads a letter to his daughter; a letter that would be very suitable to read to her when she actually got married.

6. Her ideal man is Kim Jongkook

In one of the latest episodes of “My Ugly Duckling”, she was asked to choose her ideal type among these variety show stars. The one she chose was Kim Jongkook, on the grounds that he was a manly man who didn’t care about appearance.

But one thing she doesn’t like is that Kim Jongkook goes to the gym too often. LOL! As expected from the Sparta of Running Man. Nothing will beat the importance of gym for him. In this episode, Jessi’s interaction with Kim Jongkook’s mother was very funny. A must-watch one!
