When MC Yoo Hee Yeol asked about what their first impressions of each other were like, the two only stared at one another wordlessly, laughing. Jessi began with her first impression of Cheetah, recalling, "Her hair was cool. Not everyone can pull it off. But [the style] fits her really well. From another female's perspective, it's really attractive," complimenting the fellow rapper.
Cheetah spoke up, continuing Jessi's relay of compliments. She said, "Even though the show was called 'Unpretty Rapstar,' I think Jessi is pretty. I remember how the contestants were sitting with their legs crossed but as soon as Jessi showed up, everyone uncrossed their legs. She was the most known among the contestants," attesting to the Jessi's undeniably strong presence.
Cheetah also talked about her beginnings as a rapper, confessing that initially she begun her career as a singer. She told the MC, "I was a singer at first. During my activities after coming up to Seoul, I was in a car accident. I suffered a lot of injuries. I was in such a state that I could barely use my neck. That's when I started rapping. If I think about it now, I think it's one of heaven's blessings. When I was a singer, I wasn't receiving much attention but now I'm doing well even though I haven't been rapping for long."
Cheetah also threw in her two cents on the 'hip-hop craze' that has taken the nation by storm. Yoo Hee Yeol had remarked, "These days the hip hop storm is raging. There even reports on controversial lyrics." Cheetah responded, "I think because competition is so stiff, there is a bigger desire to be noticed. But I don't think rap necessarily needs to contain a lot of expletives."
