With more and more discussions about female power, there are more and more girl crush heroine idols in KPOP circles, such as the Huasha of MAMAMOO. The sentence "If I am different from the aesthetic benchmarks of this era, then will create a new benchmark." has ignited a lot of people.
In the Korean entertainment industry with a strict discipline culture, there are naturally not many artists like Huasha full of personality. But a small number does not mean that there is no. A female singer who recently appeared in a variety show with Huasha, also wrote her own chapter in Korean Entertainment with her maverick personality.
She is the Korean-American singer Hu Xuanzhu Jessi.
How do you describe this sister? The fragments of her early fame may be able to explain some things.
In 2015, when I returned to Korea from the United States to participate in the "Unpretty Rapstar" rap competition, there was still some unknown Jessi. When preparing for , he said that he didn't understand why the previous rap competition had only male players and why can't there be women? Shortly after the filming of
, she was also facing the famous judges sitting in front of her, as well as how many years older than her. The day before, she wrote down in front of the camera the sisters and contestants who did not like her, and went around the field directly and pointed to diss. :
"Let me briefly talk about myself. I have been in this industry for ten years. I started from the bottom, only yesterday I was provoked. Who are you to judge me? We are not a team, this is the game Competition. We are not a team, this is a competition. "
exploded, Jessi immediately rapped: "Now participating in the competition, I am the best x, I am the CEO. The rest of you little shit kids , I will only turn off the screen after watching. Listen, I want to show you what a queen would do."
"I stay elegant and dignified, but I can slap anyone in the face for minutes. Do you think you are very stubborn? You haven’t seen Zhen Biaozi. I’ll come and go like a tornado. Let’s check the weather forecast.”
You know, although the players in the rap show are very aggressive, Jessi did not follow the explosive nature of the script. The speech, coupled with Korea's traditional concept of orderly growth and order, was directly on the hot search at the time. The phrase "This is a competition" in became the buzzword of that year.
But Jessi's drag on the stage is not the only reason she has become popular in recent years.
A lonely overseas Chinese
Jessi was born in New York in 1988. At the age of 15, he participated in the music audition and returned to Korea. and the girl’s generation member Huang Meiying and former member Jung Soo Yeon became high school classmates.
At the very beginning, Jessi successfully entered S.M. and almost became a member of Tianshang Zhixi , but she felt that the company’s style was inappropriate for her, so decided to switch to another company and released her debut album "Get Up" in 2005.
Jessi, the foreign hot girl singer, is very different from the popular female idols. It's not a white and beautiful style, the road to fame is quite difficult. What's more difficult for is the loneliness that she can't find her identity and cultural identity.
When she returned to Korea at the age of 15, Jessi could hardly speak Korean and could not communicate with others. The long respect and orderly culture also made this ABK, who was used to being "wild" in the United States, completely unable to adapt. After struggled for four years, Jessi returned to the United States, completely silent.
Until 2014, Jessi, who still had a musical dream for several years and a bit of a back-to-back posture, returned to Korea, became a member of the trio Lucky J, started again, released a single, and appeared on the show.
At the beginning of the second year, Jessi participated in the rap show "Unpretty Rapstar" mentioned at the beginning, and quickly became famous because of the explosion speech and live diss rap in the first two episodes.
Jessi is invincible in the show, has a strong attitude, and in the preparations, he doesn’t care about other players, or even looks down on the comments. With her excellent business ability, has taken advantage of the unconvincing opponents. Frozen for a moment.
may have been "dead" once when he left Korea in 2009. Jessi returned without baggage and was destined to do something big.
What is the explosive barrel
Jessi After participating in the show, the label of strong, sturdy and confident is firmly attached to her body. At the same time, Jessi's non-Korean figure is very eye-catching. But I don't know that after this sister started to enter the variety show, she opened the invincible "blow" mode, and her character changed from sturdy to invincible.
(JYP quickly invited her to be the feat. rap of "Who is your mother?" after the program ended)
participated in the "Happy Together" program with the Korean idol and actress Suzy, Jessi directly exploded and admitted I had plastic surgery, nose and eyes, but I regretted it, and said to the guests: , "Except Suzy, do you do it here?!"
The scene was once very embarrassing...
even joined the show again. When asked about the topic of cosmetic surgery, she directly held her breasts and responded to the rumors of "fake breasts": "My breast augmentation is fake, what's the matter?"
She thinks cosmetic surgery is not shameful, because the flowers are her own Money, what age is it, what's so strange, I don’t want to pretend that I have never done it before, and I have a good body, why can’t I show it, but I should show it: "I am very proud of my body."
Guests present, dumb Speechless.
admits plastic surgery and loves his body, but Jessi's explosive spirit is still the same. Later, she participated in "Ruanning Man" several times and played games with Liu Zaishi . This sister can almost say that the god is "driving crazy".
couldn't understand the rules of the game and was confused, so he asked immediately, not fooling at all. Do the task with great momentum,As soon as the name tag is torn off, the dirty code will pop up involuntarily. Wear a school uniform and tie your shirt tightly to show off your figure. When you are stabbed by a great god, you will go back without fear.
asked "what was your first reaction when you got up in the morning and saw the mirror?", she could answer: "The breasts are so big." Acknowledging and explaining these problems, this magnanimity and maverick, of course, has made Jessi a lot of praise, and also amused everyone because of his outspoken telling of facts that many people dare not admit.
However, if there is a good comment, there will be a bad comment. On her social media, people judge her "non-original" appearance from the beginning. For example, the black fan wrote: "How can you have the courage to make your ugly face" "Sister
is certainly not a vegetarian, so she just went back: "First, learn grammar well before scolding others. Second, you can close your stinky mouth. Sister, where is your picture?"
or even this sister I still upload a diss video with a vertical finger on social media, responding to those who look down on female rappers and constantly black female rappers: "I've never been a woman who pretends to be purely afraid of things. If you put my middle finger up, then I will give you vertical back . How come there are such men who hate women? Too blind."
In the Korean entertainment industry, which still has more conservative expectations of female artists, Jessi has a desire for fame and absolute confidence in business capabilities. Few female dissatisfaction, pride in the body, no tolerance for sprays, what to say or say, and the character without filters is indeed very charming.
On the other hand, it can gain a foothold in the conservative Korean entertainment industry and have its own place. The environment in which Jessi is in, actually has constant aesthetic changes. interacts with more and more female artists of different styles, and in a certain way To the extent it affects the new generation of audiences.
(Jessi and Hyuna of the same company)
have become famous in the past five years, each time Jessi cross-border cooperation tracks, or his own singles, can become a topic.

"They like to hate me because I am who I am. You are all jealous and you have lost."
