'Unpretty Rapstar' reveals it was difficult getting Jimin and Jessi on the show

Director Han Dong Chul of Mnet revealed during an interview with the press that it was hard getting AOA's Jimin and Jessi�(Jessica H.o.) on 'Unpretty Rapstar.'

Han Dong Chul stated, "Jimin was doing well as an idol in AOA, so even if she didn't come [on the show], she wouldn't have been criticized; it was really hard getting her cast. �It was also challenging to persuade Jessi. �Doesn't she look like she wouldn't listen to people?" making everyone laugh. �

"It was very hard for the production crew to cast the two of them," he continued. �"There was a sufficient amount of things to enjoy from the program even in the state of not knowing whether it would do well or not without them coming out on it, but they followed the production crew's suggestions well and the program ended up doing well, so I'm happy I get to speak with a clear mind like this. �The process for getting the two people on the show was not smooth sailing."
