JESSI - Who Dat B - UK K-Pop Fans Reaction

[@tea_jayy]

Oh, I forgot! Add KARD to the Thirsty Thursday list, particularly "ICKY", "Cake" & maybe "Dumb Litty". Jessi is from New Jersey and is 36 yrs old.

Yezz please ❤

[@marinal.]

yep

5:30 Jessi's actually always been very upfront about her breasts being fake: she's talked about paying for them herself on TV, lyrics in her song NUNU NANA go "got the S on my chest" etc. So with the shirt, she's in fact keeping it very real 😂

[@Sugas_Girr]

Oh, WOW! You guys are just pulling from ALL my old playlists this week!!! 😄🥰 2:00 She was born in 1988, in New York, USA (but raised mostly in New Jersey). She originally debuted as a soloist back in 2005, and was also briefly part of 2 different hip-hop groups back in the day, Uptown (2006, after Yoon Mirae left) and Lucky J (2014-2016). Jessi is actually pretty amazing.... She has had a very loooong hard struggle to climb her way up in the industry, before just FINALLY starting to see some (way overdue) recent market success in the last few years, even though she had consistently been a pretty well-known name & fairly popular figure in the scene since at least 2015, but a lot of this was mostly due to her TV appearances and as a friend or mentor-senior like figure in the industry. 5:20 She says "I keep it real", while her top was emblazoned with "FAKE", in reference to the plastic surgery she has always been very open about having on her breasts. Specifically because, at least in the past, the majority of other celebrities in Korea have lied, or at least not really admitted openly, to most of the plastic surgery procedures they have had done (*IF they did have work done...many actually have not!). Jessi has always remained 100% unapologetically true to herself, which is wonderful, but was also unfortunately a big reason why Korean society and the industry gave her such a hard time in the beginning, because despite being incredibly talented, she refused to conform to anything, or allow them to put her in the boxes they wanted to.

Shes got some great songs/raps. I listen to her at work so often!

[@Sugas_Girr]

11:47 For Simon, she goes a bit harder in: ~ "Cold Blooded" - the MV features some of the top female dancers/dance crews in Korea, which were at the the time competing in a survival show called "Street Woman Fighter" (SWF), and that Jessi guested as a judge on for part of that season. ~ "Ssenunni" ~ "Gyopo Rap" (Remix) - by: Los - featuring: Jay Park, Jessi, G2 It's only a feature (so sadly, wayyyyy too short!!! 😭), but her part is sooo good and one of my favorites of hers because she really gets to completely let loose and doesn't have to rein herself in at all, like she kind of has to do a bit more so when she is in public in Korea. ~ "MoneyMakerz" (Dirty Ver.) - by: Maniac - featuring: Jay Park, Jessi 11:55 And yes, girl can SING sing! Her original background was actually always as a vocalist, and she didn't really start rapping until they tapped her for the survival show, "Unpretty Rapstar". You should definitely check out "Want To Be Me", "Don't Make Me Cry", "Numb", and "My Romeo" (OST), to really hear her show off some of her awesome vocal chops! I don't think anybody is ever prepared for how good of a SINGER she actually is, until after they hear her really go off for the first time.... 😳😲🤯🤗 Also, not to be missed are: ~ "Star" - really beautiful and a very personal song for her, basically just summarizing a lot of her life story in the lyrics. ~ "Nunu Nana" - probably her biggest commercial hit so far, and is just really great! It's catchy, fun, and such a bop!!! (*Of course, there are a lot more than just what I listed above, but these are some of her real standouts that are criminally underrated & often times forgotten...)

[@ChocolateTeapot93]

I adore Jessi, she's so funny and down to earth. And I think she's like 35. If you want a really thirsty MV you should check out Down. She dances in a bikini 👀

[@crispychicken9298]

When you checked out Hwasa and asked if there was any female singer more badass than her, I wanted to recommend you Jessi (and CL), but here we are 😅

[@ren.the.rascal]

Love this lady so much, she's so genuine!

[@annemaka]

Jessi is so great. I think you would also enjoy Nunu Nana, which is an absolute bop. If you continue with Thirsty Thursday then KARD's Icky and Hyolyn's Dally would be great options.

[@alittleaboutalot1602]

She also has a super funny/cute interview with Hwasa. They're friends ❤

[@holyTripleSix]

Jessi - Drip if you like some kpop hiphop try H1GHR Music - The Purge also try XG - HESOONO + XGENE Performance Video

[@sugawifu1782]

Kard icky is a good suggestion and monster x love killa❤

[@Nat-fq8hc]

I would love for you to react to Kang Daniel's "Don't tell", featuring Jessi...it's amazing!

[@Ace_lonelysoul]

Check Zoom & nununana ( idk if it's correct ) by her next ( whenever you've time 😉 )

[@alittleaboutalot1602]

For next Jessi reaction, if you want something that goes a bit harder Simon, I recommend Cold Blooded. She looks super good in the mv too 🤌

[@randominternetcitizen]

Love your hair!

[@xiaotian.y]

A thirsty song...oh my god VIXX's Chained Up. The lyrics of that song...like I still havnt recovered. I def recommend that song...probs the only song made in the industry with a bdsm concept...

[@katy8605]

I feel like there's been countless times when Simon has said how much he likes the parts in videos that are swag and rap. But then in 200+ videos we still have 0 videos about YG artists when that is the company most associated with swag and rap out of the main companies. For a long time they inspired a lot of other artists to be swaggy and rappy in kpop.😆When Mark is asked who would be in his kpop supergroup if he could form one, the rapper he chooses is GD from Bigbang. Hoshi from Svt also idolizes him. When Svt sat around playing a drinking game that involved singing songs, they just kept thinking of a long string of YG songs bc that's what pops into their heads first. But since I'll always be with you guys I'll just slowly work on getting a YG artist squeezed in at some point.😉 I normally wouldn't be so persistent about something like this at all, but 0 out of 200+ is just a little teeny tiny bit unfair maybe😥. I'll work on Shinee as well.

[@alongfortheridereacts]

This is completely fair. If you had to give us one YG group to react to (not Blackpink... we know ALL their songs already), who would it be?

[@katy8605]

@@alongfortheridereacts I don't know what happened but I replied twice and both times my reply disappeared so I'll just try on discord.

[@alongfortheridereacts]

Discord message received 🫡

[@GorillaGorilla]

Now you need to see The Refund Sistera " Dont touch me" . A super group in which Jessi and Hwasa are members.

[@xapokalypse]

You guys should check out PLT - Hocus Pocus, Igoholic and Blind. They're super underrated and are solo artists that came together as a group. I'm actually unsure if they still make music together, but it never sat right with me how good these guys are, yet so immensely underrated. They're all songwriters. June used to be a trainee under BigHit (BTS' old company name) and produced songs for them, Suran, and IU.

[@tea_jayy]

Omgoodness you just made me gasp! NO ONE talks about PLT, especially now that they've imploded. Gaho is still around. Villain releases music sporadically, but not under Planetarium. Jinwoo left, as well. Not sure about Moti. Gaho and Jinwoo were my faves, and the three songs you mentioned are my favorites out of all of them!

[@marinal.]

Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. Jessie is from USA NJ. Her BTS crush is Jk the maknae. =0p She had plastic surgery on breasts and butt so that is why she wearing a top fake. She used to be with Psy's company but she recently left it a few yrs ago. I like her singing voice. So i am waiting for more songs from her. Saw an interview with her on Zach Sang show it was cool. Her rap is harsh to me so i don't vibe with it. But she a swaggy gal. And she very NY. She said she hung out in Queens often. Borahae. -NY USA 2019 Army💟
