In a recent interview with 'International bnt,' the strong and talented rapper and vocalist Jessi talked about many different topics!

She relayed how her strong image came from her family.  Starting at 15 years old, she lived apart from her parents and was raised by her two older brothers, which influenced her personality.  "I feel very sorry toward my parents but I did not want to show a weak image, so even when I was having a hard time, I never showed it," she revealed.

Regarding the loneliness that could result from a life like that, she said, "I'm not the type to drink often.  If I had to do something, shopping would be the method, but even that only lasts a moment, so it can't solve loneliness.  It has been well over one year since I've dated.  I don't even have time to meet a man, to be honest.  It's so sad."

Regarding her image, which is full of confidence so that even elders would recognize her on the streets, Jessi said, "I feel so proud because I feel like I am creating a different culture in this generation in which women are becoming stronger and can put out their voices," bringing up how TV has changed over time.

She lastly revealed that she would be releasing her own album no matter what this year, so look forward to it!
