When neither PSY nor Jay Park have been able to handle her, it is clear that she either creates her own company or has little future since I doubt many companies want such a problematic singer, if she wants to do her artistic music, she can put her own money and see what happens.
Not showing up to music shows is crazy. She's lucky it was Jay Parks label. Other labels would of immediately drop and sue her. They protected her instead. If she doesn't create her own label and pulls this at another, I don't think she'll be as lucky.
pple shd just stop spreading lies about jessi and their opinions as truth. she stayed wt the companies until her contract finished. wats wrong with her not renewing? we cry wen these other companies give long contracts to idols and abuse them, but now y'all are just talking crap abt jessi. can you just stop it and be fckn humans for once
@@iamarmytinyctzenthebthe thing here is the contract meet the free spirit jessie that's why she signed to it and there's no spreading lie here unless you're new you should've know the isuue .... she didint show up for music show like the goddamn music showw she is a singer and no such company would want her sign bcs of that... she breaking her way with more vision after the contract end bcs more vision didnt want to sue her or ended the contract early if that was SM we're talking abt he wont be in any show blacklisted to every fcking tv channel 😭
I stand with pnation actually. Nununana was the best album in her entire career. Psy put her on the map. The way she demands full autonomy like the company aint funding her and she gonna invest her own money
It's sad because she keeps saying she wants to establish her own agency but can't seem to push thru. It makes you think what kind of "connections" she was able to make in her 18 long years in the industry. Take Hyolyn & CL for example, two of the 2nd gen divas that were able to established their own companies because they were able to assemble their perfect team, who are, I would assume people they've met in the industry. Yes, their comebacks are not as frequent or as "successful" in terms of today's standards but the fact that they're still able to run their own label & release music is commendable. Isn't Jessi close with Hyolyn? She should ask for advice if she really wants to push her "Own Label" agenda.
Exactly, the fact that Jessi has no connections and no one to guide her and truly wants to work with her makes me question her attitude behind the scenes. For example, look at Jennie her managers both left YG, THE YG ENTERTAINEMENT to work with her on her new company. It shows that no matter what they trust her to be successful and are happy to work with her. Hyolyn as well. Psy also left with all his team from YG. Imo plp that she's surrounded with don't seem to trust her or have much faith in her when it comes to managing her career.
According to Hyolyn there were articles about this topic she was talking about how difficult to run an agency and how costly it is. Even though we consider her she’s doing good. It’s still not easy. Imagine someone like Jessi, she’ll eventually will find the hard truth.
Look, I love Jessi, I fuck with her.. but she's 1000% the problem. And this inability to work with others has destroyed her reputation and basically ruined her career. Also her not being able to work with Jay.. bad sign.
@@eahn321 I’ve seen a lot of ppl on online saying jay was the issue. So idk…….but either way she is a talented artist and she will do well no matter where she goes
@@missethio7394 Of course Jay’s haters gonna be saying that or it’s those toxic fans of Jessi’s who just be worshiping her blindly. I got no hate for Jessi, if anything, I use to like her so I cared less about the rumors before but now if anything I’m starting to think there may be some truth to it. Since you know, no smoke starts without a fire. There’s nothing wrong with thinking about and prioritizing yourself but in the real world especially in businesses, at times you gotta learn to compromise cause not everything is about you. So with her given personality and how she can come off extra, it’s just not surprising to find out that people or any company can’t work with her (at least on the long run.) And mind you this is Korea we are talking about too, where the cultural mindset and mannerisms are more conservative for her so that being said she just isn’t suited to work with anyone. I’m sure companies, people and even she herself are aware about that so I highly doubt any company/anyone wanna work with her and vice versa, especially now. I don’t know much about her previous company but I do a lot about Jay, his work ethics and his company. His actually widely known and respected in the industry for being a lot more generous lenient transparent compared to other label CEOs, not to mention his good work ethics amongst many artists and people including civilians and for her to not be satisfied there? Just means she the issue since she’s so unsatisfied. She’s like unsatisfied with anyone, anywhere and anything. So at this point just work/do things alone on your own since that just seems like the best (and only) option for everybody including herself which then perhaps she can finally be satisfied.
Let me clarify further, I wish Jessi the best, and I hope she's able to overcome the challenges in her career so that she can continue to make music. My only concern is that if she had the ability to do it on her own, wouldn't she have done that already? Secondly, the companies/people she's already worked with are major people in the industry, I can only assume how many doors shut when she stopped working with them. Some people may see her behavior as biting the hand that feeds her, which never looks good in any context but especially in the entertainment industry where success is often directly correlated to who you know and who you are working with to make the overall dream happen. My comment regarding Jay is that he's been on both sides of the situation in his career, up and down in many ways, I would assume if anyone could understand or work with Jessi it would be him. My guess is really this, perhaps what others see as marketable and in Jessi's best interest is no longer the music she wants to make or the image she wants to represent. Which is totally fair, but it is a lot harder to make that change when you're constantly having to start over from nothing.
She's basically the cardi b of korea; both are difficult and make subpar music but people eat it up and forgive their problematic behaviour because they're "fun" & "down-to-earth". She's only staying afloat cause people like watching her but I doubt her music is really selling, a tiktok viral song can only go so far and would be hard to recreate especially on her own
tbh i know 4 songs from her. Just 4. I like her funny persona on shows shes part of. I think that she should rather be a host who releases music, honestly.
Well she is not down to earth. She seems to justify her behavior as such, saying she is out spoken but with good heart. But it doesnt seem that way. She cant take criticism, she wants everyone to be super nice to her but she will decide how she reacts with diff people. Her songs and made by other people, she has copyright in writing or making but she herself cant. She has admitted her tits being fake bcz duh! You cnt deny it . But what about her whole being. Face, tan, hair, anything and everything is made up why dont she address that as well. I mean. She is not down to earth thats what i am saying. She seems like someone with whom you have to walk on egg shells when she is around.
South Koreans love American music tho. My husband was in SK almost two years ago on a business trip. He talked with his colleagues about K-pop (because I, as a K-pop fan, asked him to do it xD). His Korean colleagues told him that in SK only teens/very young people listen to K-pop. The others listen to other genres, mainly American music (pop, hip-hop, rock, etc.). The problem with Jessi is her attitude and behavior, not the music she puts out
Jessie should just promote and be a artist in the US. Its clear the type of personality and vision she has for herself and career will never fit or resonate with the korean audience🤷🏽♀️
I totally agree but unfortunately the entertainment industry in the US is racist. There's all these talented Asian entertainers that are Americans but can't find fame unless they go to the country they're ethnically from. It's a shame and hopefully that'll change but it's almost like Korea is her only opportunity.
I'm not american, but i've listened a lot of songs from even back in the 90s to now and i can easily tell although she's got that "personality type and vision" that leans towards america, it's not really enough to do something with it, she's really 50% american and 50% korean, i don't see her doing better there than in her own country, there is a lot of racism in america, for all ethnic types, but thing is, she's a little past her age, and for her music type, the people that do the best with it in US are the younger people, and i believe if she'd lean towards US it wouldn't be enough really. It's like this, her american personality trips her up in Korea, and her korean personality won't really gain her any advantage in US. The best she could do is make her own company and take part both in her country and international, and i'm not only talking america cuz they aren't the only fucking country, that's one of the biggest fucked up things i've observed in Korea, y'all really think America is "THE" bomb, no... there's a whole world out there.
@@azraelyoutube I'm not American either but I'm very observant and your right there is alot to this world than just the US and even if she does start her own Company, she herself has to think business wise as well as her team. If she starts her company with the current attitude she has she isn't going to get that far , and if she decides to bring in different acts / groups or solo artist and can't market them either it's a flop regardless. She either has to compromise or do her own thing for just herself by herself Jessie has alot to think about if she really really wants to be THAT artist .
Lmao no.. i'm gay and take absolutely no offense by what someone said 20 years ago so idgaf about what she said. if she said that today though that would be another story@@lilliebobson3146
She should had just paid her dues first with J Park and eventually get her way I’m sure in due time he would’ve let her. She wanted everything ASAP and it doesn’t work like that. It a shame because I think she could have done well with him.
the problem is that Pnation they would not give huge promotion to jessie, but when psy promoted they broke the bank and use millions and got suzy on the video
I also think Psy is pretty heavy handed with adding his preferred style to his artists. We saw it with Jessi, Dawn, and Hyuna, and I think we’re starting to see it with Hwasa too
@@queridolovesbees9536 Doesn't that happen with all agencies? You're going to end up sounding like them somehow no matter how different you want to be.
@@angelanam793 This really is true to an extent. Somi even did an interview or appearance somewhere where she sang her song in the style she did for the release with her label vs how it would have been had she released that song still under JYP. The company is always going to have an effect on the artists' music and style, especially if that company has a distinctive style their artists are known for.
I remember how much praise she'd get for calling out problematic idols like San E. The fact that she's no better than anyone she calls out is an example of projection
She just needs to learn the business side of a company and find a good team to work with. She has been alone there since she was 15-16 so it’s understandable that she acts the way she does. The world is tough out there and being a woman is the cherry on top. She just wants something different in life at this age I think. I hope she figures out what she wants.
She's been in the industry one way or another for almost 20 years. If she hasn't learned the business side of the music industry until now, there's no hope for her
@@crazyabout1327 A person being in this industry doesn’t mean that they would know the business side of it too. It’s like saying that because you’re in college, you’ve learned all the majors. It doesn’t matter how long you do something, you always have more to learn. People grow out of things and loses passion as well. I’m just saying that she might want something different. Everyone’s circumstances are different and unique.
She’s the problem. She doesn’t realise it. She has zero business skills to run a company as well as be an active artist. A perfect example of someone who’s very successful in being an artist as well as the CEO of their label is Hyolyn. We even got to see her work with her team and come up with amazing world tour level productions for the stage on queendom 2. You have to have a solid team that you can trust and who are highly skilled and are going to make sure at the end of the day you profit off of what you put out. Jessi is not ready for that and it shows
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong. As a staunch Hyolyn fan that has been following her every move from the beginning =--her company struggled BIG TIME when she first went solo. Dally was a huge hit, but she suffered a bullying scandal after that that took most the majority of her fandom. Her music video were getting close to zero views--from millions of views per MV, she went to only a few thousand. Nobody was following her whatsoever, and she practically became a nobody in the industry. She was very close to quitting and giving it all up--but with persistence over the years and continuing to release music even though nobody was really watching, she has finally now started to taste some major success. Hyolyn herself said in an interview she had no vision for her company when she first started it--go watch her Eric Nam interview. People are not always immediately successful. They make many fuck-up's until they learn and grow.
@koul3709 very sad but no one asked for Hyolyn's sob story we're talking about if jessi really is competent enough to start her label and not leave it after some days like she does with every company she signs with
I like her music and the messaging but let's be honest for a second. If any other idol did what Jessie been doing badmouthing others and attacking other women they wouldn't be given the time of day. I don't like her as a person and don't financially endorse her music however I listen to a song from time to time. Idols and performers across the global everyone knows the pain of the job but to give ONE person leeway cause it's too hard as of the others don't go through the same is a bit hypocritical imo but that's just me.
@@hanmira ain't the public's fault that we see her dancing naked. That was funny and disgusting at the same time to me aswell. What's even more funny is that blinks see these stuff of Lisa aswell as Jennie and preach about "feminism" and "woman power" lol
Of course I don't know Jessi, but to me it seems like she used to be very insecure & childish. Under every strong minded & willed person, was a scared, vulnerable & hurt person at one point. Seems like she may have been lashing out due to things not going her way & being so young, not realizing how your words can affect your career a decade later. Using violence as a form of control over others or even her own life. The good thing is, people can change & grow into better people. Hopefully she learned that being nasty or violent towards others doesn't signal strength, but a very deep rooted weakness. I'm rooting for her & I hope she's a better person overall now.
I'm American so maybe it's a little more lax here, but as a teen I used to be racist & homophobic until I realized the hurt it truly does to those communities of people. I had to grow up & mature into a better person. There's room & time for her to change, which I think she's already trying to do. It does seem like she's very very picky with her music & wants things to go her way, which makes sense bc it's her music! Her name is on the song, she sings or raps the song, so she had a right to express any concerns she had to make it better or different. I hope she has learned that those racist & homophobic comments were completely inappropriate & disgusting to say.
I mean she wants everything her way, so I am really happy she is starting her own company,she’s gonna know being a CEO is probably not easy and she’s gonna know what those people go through. With the type of person Jessi is, I think she should manage herself and if anything goes wrong, there will no one else to blame but herself because she is the owner of the company so yea, good for her.
@@lordtette thats the thing. The tour was her trying to "do it on her own". It didn't go well. Tho i hope she learned from that and will do better instead of just complaining about others not doing well.
Actually agree with KOOKIELIT in vocabulary and environments that, including Jessi, because she’s need more time and recovering from the work, maybe do something different in lifestyle situations too. With her allowing getting in trouble with stuff, Jessi needs planning on finding where she at.
I hate it when people are too quick to comment on a person's life because of others' opinions from what they see or hear; no matter what, we can never know exactly what happened; stories could be different from every side. If truths can be difficult to uncover even in courts or call for investigations then how can one conclude from very little said by each party. Jessi had gone through a lot just in her youth in different agencies and was restricted to one for more than 6 years, she never wanted to return to entertainment until Psy convinced her a lot. So, idk but to me, for someone who had gone through that, bae, please take control...leave whatever agency you want to! You're the one paying if you had to cancel the contract, right? Good! so do you. If it doesn't work out how you intended it to, get up, figure out why, leave the room and try another door! You were not betrothed to any agency at birth. Even if you were, you didn't ask for it. Take action and deal with the outcome; nobody is living the life for you! If you have to suffer and cry in your room no one is going to see you, its just you and your God so, that green light Psy gave you go and never stop its your way!
I love this comment. Idk why people keep giving opinions like they're living with Jessi 24/7 and know her inside out. Abt her keep changing record label, I don't think it's an issue. My brother in law used to change office like 3 to 4 times a year coz he is trying to find the one that suits him best, and nothing wrong with that. Just because Jessi is a public figure doesn't mean that all her opinions, decisions and etc. needs to be controlled by the netizen. Poor Jessi 🥹
i'm a jebbies and i'm also a jwalkerz so the context i know here is she had a lot goin on since her bestfriend death but the problem is jay's name is like a black ship no matter how he apologise for everything he had done ppl wont come easy for him and she make it double and throw it to him despite knowing how bad he got everything... so that's quite a redflags tbh luckily he have that patience and wont just sue or blacklisted her for the music show controversy (i'm surprised at first then I know he handle this type of situation like this everytime) I hope she just figured it out tho... but selfcompany suit her the most i think
I hope shes able to find her footing and we get to hear more from her. Ive always wondered why she wasn't more popular considering how talented she is. I like her song that focus more on singing the. Rapping so i hope she gets to continue releasing them.
I never liked her. Her whole image comes off as fake and phony. It’s like she tries to over-exaggerate this “urban rapper from the inner cities of America” persona.
I like her music but the shit she had done makes me not want to support her. If she hops around company alot she has to be the problem not the management cause who hops around companies alot like she is going to be just a company hopper
Wonho got kicked out his group just for owning money, Seojin got kicked out for allegedly bullying, Hara and Sulli got bullied to d*ath for the dumbest reasons, there was a gg that got heat for twerking while wearing a hanbok... I don't understand why Jessi get so many passes. I get that she wants to be genuine but it comes to the point where she doesn't have respect for Korean culture at all. She goes from show to show making people uncomfortable with the things she says and expects ppl to accept her just because that's who she is.
When she literally started to blow up in pnation she decided to leave…her biggest mistake because I believe she had the most freedom there than anywhere else.
I got no hate on Jessi and idk much about her previous company so can’t speak about it but the fact that she left Jay Park’s company (More Vision) which I know a lot about, just says A LOT about her, which means most likely she’s the issue. It’s like she’s just unsatisfied with everyone, everything and every place. So at this point she should just work alone do things on her own since that seems like the best and only option for everyone including herself and maybe then she’ll finally be satisfied as well.
I love Jessy, I think she has bring a much need it freshness into k-pop BUT at the moment I learned that she was leaving J´s company I knew she was the problem. Music its a business, this it´s especially true with k-pop, she expecting companies pay for her "artistic" freedom without caring for profit its beyond naive. Wishing her the best
Psy is actually pretty conservative. Jessie mentioned that Psy commented on her dressing style and asked her not to wear revealing clothings. Hyuna also mentioned that Psy kept on asking her to modify her dance moves for her MVs. And as far as I know, both of them never released any album under Pnation
she's too desperate to be famous in korea with her "american" attitude. she tries to "make an impact" but she has literally been just Americanizing her songs. literally nothing unique about her.
That's actually very sad, she likes something that's nor that popular nor it would make her money and time worth spending. I understand her, I too would not be happy or pleased to do things that I don't really like and enjoy.
I don’t think Jessi is the problem. Almost all of P Nations bigger artists left or we haven’t heard anything from them. Jay Parks company wasn’t the right fit for her. One they’re friends and two he has so many artist under him and the only time we really even get music from them is when they all collaborate together. Her wanting full autonomy shouldn’t be a surprise considering how her older labels portrayed her and basically set the tone for her career. You can’t even find any of her old music unless a fan reuploaded the video. 😢 The music industry isn’t perfect.
she's the only singer signed to jay's company back then... it's just her and jay park with holybang and mvp as dance crew.. the other jay's company like aomg and h1ghr music isn't directly been up to jay.. he step down as ceo and just stay as counselor like thing there.. i think they've the chemistry but it messed up ... on another note jay's friends to every single artist he signed except newer aomg artist where they're just co-workers
Creative liberty is what she needs and for her to do that she needs to establish her own label. 2 of 7 got7 members did it and basically got to do what they wanted. It did Mark Tuan great I like his solo songs and he seems happy releasing the type of music he wanted and success will come as long as he continues to flex his production muscles. I don't know what's holding her back but being a solo artists without an established label with a well oiled machine for pr, writers, creative directors and all the whole nine yards is quite frightening.
She has a beautiful voice, give her beautiful songs ... people will always listen to good music. Don't follow alot of people but consistently listening to good songs. Eg. Bol4, weekly, pentagon
she complained abt not enough freedom on Psy's label & too much freedom on Jay Park's label and you're right it's difficult being an active artist & running a label, Jay Parks done it successfully twice & I'm sure MoreVision will be a success as well be he has sacrificed alot of himself & I don't know if she's willing to make that kind of sacrifice plus she may need financial backing to start a label & that might be difficult to get if they think she's problematic
When you said she had to take the situation into her own hands. 😯😶. No shade to Jessi but when she left pnation because she wanted to make certain music. I got really confused. I thought that's the sound and image she was going for.
I am genuinely happy that somebody finally made this video 😭❤️ Edit : OML 200+ LIKES ???? MOST IVE EVER GOTTEN IN MY LIFE THXX SO MUCH GUYS 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ happy Valentines Day :)
@nino_the_foodie9740, I don’t understand genuinely happy that someone actually called her out it’s kind of sad it makes me feel that she has lost her way when it comes to being a nice person! P nation that PSY tried to work with her and he gave interviews as well as Jessi did! When somebody has a very headstrong controlling type personality they don’t see any options other than their own and they feel that they’re the only one in the room and their thoughts their ideas and their wants and needs are more important than anybody else’s I know I was married to one of those people! Jessi is from America the United States and she still has that same thought process and Ways as an American. She may have been in the business here in South Korea for 18 years but still she hasn’t learned how to work well with others and how to be able to give-and-take that’s just like in any type of business relationship or relationships in general between two people! She will never be able to have her own agency because she has to employ other people hairstylist and makeup artist set designers , etc. he also is going to need a management team those that are going to be able to book the concerts and events from one other countries that she may be going into, hotel arrangements food arrangements transportation arrangements back-and-forth from the concert to the hotel room etc. she doesn’t think this is gonna cost a lot of money if she does it her way she’s got a big wide eyed opening of how really things are done in the music business specially in South Korea! It’s twice as hard for her as a woman in South Korea to have her own business ! And I’m sorry to say because of the conservative, misogynistic and anti-feminism movement that is in South Korea it’s going to be a problem for her especially if she’s dealing with men who don’t know her and don’t respect her! She’s gonna end up going back to the United States and it’s her own fault!
Jessi is very headstrong, she works hard to be successful, is a dynamic woman who knows who she is and what she wants. Jessi is a nice person but she doesn't suffer fools gladly, she has been through a lot, made mistakes but she is only human too.
@@yunaiyy inagine believeing everything you read on the internet, where you there at the time of said incident? No you weren't you just blindly believe what people say
@@madkmadk6809 and you believe that? And pushing someone’s head in the toilet in retaliation is just a no no, how many times have you hit someone who has hit you-?
I have liked Jessi over the years and she has put out some good stuff, however this last release "Gum" felt like a chewed up piece of gum of all her previous songs combined. She didn't bring anything new to the table. There was really nothing creative. Same beat, same sound, same repetitive type of lyrics, same, same, same. I got halfway into the song and just turned it off. She has her own style which is appreciated, but when you keep recycling it over and over it gets tiresome. I wish her the best in whatever she chooses to do, and hope that she will be able to express more of her own creative style to her music to let her fans see different sides of herself. Record Labels rely on investors to stay afloat on top of what artists put out and the profit from that. Investors won't invest if you have a reputation as being difficult, especially if she wants to start her own company. She has to show a track record of good business relationships with investors and artists to bring in the money it takes to run your own label. She has a lot to think about while she is between labels.
Jessi plays the blame game for her lack of success. It’s always the labels or someone else’s fault. And I’m sure her reputation as being difficult doesn’t help her . Nor does it help when she disparages groups or artists who have had more success than her. I’ve watched previous interviews with her and other artists, and she’s passive aggressive, low-key, and sometimes outright rude to other artists. Some people defend her behavior as just Jessi being Jessi, and even praise her for it. But if her past is any indicator, I think she’s got more problems to worry about rather than her creative freedom.
The only thing I disagree on, is the lack of success. She did incredibly well for herself, made so much money, her songs were viral hits. She could even kick back and relax from now on. Psy promoted her incredibly well. She benefited from being under him immensely. She can be really disrespectful and I generally don't like her very much, but I can see why her personality would be popular among Koreans, especially women, who find Korean society very stifling. Jessi just comes in like a wrecking ball and turns any social environment she is in upside down. She is a lose cannon though, ans I don't see many wanting to work with her.
I know how she is and its really hard to handle her when u have a whole team u need to compromise in everything but in her case she want to handle everything on her own her bond nature came between all the things I don't know wht she going to do in future but it's better if she open her own agency
Jessi is an icon. New Jersey is where the majority of New York rappers, and other American music artists live. It’s a beautiful state, varied in regions, but it’s an East Coast state that shares multiple borders with New York. Including New York City. She’s hustling to thrive in her career in a very xenophobic industry. I love KPOP. I’m a middle aged professor in the states and have been studying kpop since I was introduced to HOT in high school from one of my Korean classmates. I hate watching all these you tube videos that criticize artists over the most ridiculous rumors and or speculation. Jessi isn’t ignorant. She’s embracing her Korean ethnicity while bringing American flavor to her music. Give her a break and let’s support idols, as they all work their hardest to thrive in a hyper critical industry. If kpop is seeking to thrive globally, as an outsider there are so many trite and harmful actions that really creates tension to like or not like an artist based off of propaganda from videos like this. And I enjoy this channel frequently, but I’m noticing the content isn’t very kind, helpful or raising awareness for idols beyond slandering an artist’s career. Life is hard. Let’s not make life harder for anyone anymore. She is not problematic, she’s just considered an outsider since she was born in the states. Give Jessi a break and let her talent fly. She’s already endured so much criticism I can’t imagine how she continues to try to make music because she loves making good music as a soloist. I feel exhausted for her! Give her a break…no one bothers Heechul or the SuJu old men and they get away with everything with far less talent than Jessi. Please think more critically about the factors surrounding Jessi that make it much harder as a non-native Korean woman to thrive in the kpop industry.
This! I can't wrap my head around how siwon and shindong from suju is more successful than her when they have done way more problematic stuff and when they are way less talented than her. People never give these two even an ounce of the flak that jessi gets
@@LyraReid can you provide some examples or evidence from a non-biased news source or first hand source to prove she’s “problematic?” And then provide your neutral analysis of why she’s so problematic? Everyone is problematic. Literally EVERYONE, sure. But I need more evidence or proof that her “problematic” actions have had devastating consequences on a particular larger global or even just from a South Korean’s objective perspective of what defines “problematic” in the first place. 🤡🤠 I’ll wait for your response with citations from scholarly evidence proving her perceived problematic qualities that are ruining the entire global community from you. It’s easy to pop a clown 🤡 emoji, but a really good netizen would not just plop a 🤡 down and change my mind. Thanks!
Thanks for this comment. I'm not a die hard fan of Jessi, but I just hate when people are trying to comment and control how an artist or idol should behave, decide & act. They're also human and have feelings like all of us. Hope people can have more common sense on this
I get that this video is meant to talk about the negative parts of Jessi as an artist but the words used are overly harsh and critical. It woudnt harm to not slam the artist this bad considering shes still a respected and famous person in korea.
This is why we so proud of CL with her successful solo career from her own independent company, she’s literally building her fanbase and going mainstream so good luck Jessi
To be fair the music she does want to make is good. I like her old stuff a lot, but like the video said it really isn’t profitable to a business since R&B isn’t as popular in Korea as it is with Western audiences. Especially American. I think Jessi might still be too American for mainstream Korean audiences, so they have to give her “catchier” songs to make money. I really just think she’s wants to be her own artist, but is too immature to realize that her music career hasn’t made enough profit to push songs that aren’t going to be widely accepted by Knetizens. She needs to realize most people like her persona over her music and her music isn’t really what attracts people to her. She’s a good artist, but that’s about it. Which is completely okay, but it means that she doesn’t understand the work it takes to run a successful business. At the end of the day business is about money and her heartfelt songs don’t turn a profit as much as her popular songs. We see this a lot with Korean artists because the music industry is much more calculated than say Canada. I think she just needs to sign to a western label at this point
The music industry is calculated everywhere. Unless you just accept youre probably not gonna be super famous or rich of it. We saw this with western labels all the time, artists making music they dont like or making compromises with their sound on their own to grow more (Taylor Swift described her moving into pop more than folk as a "smart business woman move" she didn't just fall in love with a different sound).
I mean i love jessi, ever since unpretty rapstar and sister slam dunk days but work ethic wise, she's a lot to handle. She could be uncompromising in terms we don't know but this is pretty clear already, however i still love her always
If i had to guess, "seems like" Jessi wants to be a vocalist and not continue with the rapper imagine... But None of us know anything about the personal and private inner workings of Jessi's life or how everything went at the different agencies. You can assume but until statements or facts come out otherwise we don't know what happened
I don't think she is that difficult , but she does not take shit from anyone. Korea has huge bullying culture and respect for seniors who don't deserve that respect . It is totally easy for them to call someone who don't take shit to be called difficult.
Psy and jay park is not hard to work with. Jay park may be look crazy and carefree. But He is really sweet person . Jessi complain about psy but now she is exactly doing what psy design her career ,that shows problem is her who doesn't understand how industry and business work
What did she “go through”? Being disrespectful, completely disregarding the business side of things, being a literal abuser…There is never an excuse for that.
Its unhinged to be a k-pop idol in the first place. Its a sick industry and you cant even be a real artist...its a choice and most people make that choice because of money and attention. They are so fake...Jessi might not be fake but has other issues.
Lol 😂 its so funny to meeeee how half of yall are in these comments talking about how repetitive her songs are when most of yall stan blackpink who creates the same sound every once in while comebacks.
If all of this are true then Jessi will never be happy at all and needs to grow up. Jumping from one company to another is already bad plus her "my way or the highway" approach will only work if she was a boss of her own company but since she is an employee she needs to compromise.
The USA doesn't have that big of an opportunity like some people seem to think and bias. How many famous Asian musicians or actresses do you know of here?
@@Ifaeya There arent many asians in the US who try to be musicians in the first place. Those migrant kids are told to become lawyers or doctors and everything creative is rarely appreciated or supported in asian families. Asians can make it like anyone else. The US has asian comedians, actors etc. ...to make it in the music industry, you need to step over bodies though. Hollyweird is demonic.
I like Jessie and I think she's a talented artist. But it does seem like some there's some kind of cultural appropriation along the lines. In all honestly, as long as she's not showing any form of disrespect towards* black culture, I don't see any problem with her. And as far as her past bullying, I just hope she acknowledged what she did and apologized. (Edited for typos)
Honestly, it's her life so idc. The only issue I'd have is if she starts to blame others for her choices, which I don't think she will. I think she has a lot of goals that are not being met at the pace she wants. which is fine and understandable, let her cook tbvh.
Hi, thank you for your comment, but this seems to be a misunderstanding. We didn't say that BoA was a member of Girls' Generation. We mentioned three people/celebrities in this order: Girls' Generation, BoA and Daniel Henny - the full sentence was "Jessi is seen saying the n-word and using homophobic slurs to refer to Girls' Generation, BoA and Daniel Henny." Hopefully this helps to clarify the situation :)
I think the real issue is that Jessi doesn’t really know what she wants career wise. She said Psy was too controlling which I think can be very stifling for artists, but she also said Jay was giving her too much freedom, like she still needed a bit of a push. She is great at variety programs, she is naturally funny and entertaining, we also get to see her caring, generous personality. But those can also get formulaic. What Jessi has said for several years now is that she wants to get married and have children, this is her deepest wish and desire, more than her career. I think because this is not happening she is sad, lonely, depressed and floundering. She is not really seizing opportunities because she is unhappy in her personal life. Instead of judging someone as difficult, we should be having compassion for someone who is in a cutthroat industry that is based on making money not caring for the artists well being. It’s sick how they expect them to churn out content day after day, they don’t even get a chance to breathe. We as fans need to be less judgmental and obsessed and allow artists to live as humans. Let’s be real we don’t know how dirty that industry really is, we only hear rumors about the rampant misogyny and sexism women have to face in that field, and most of us probably would not be able to handle it. She is trying to be strong and powerful in the face of all that, calling her difficult cuz she won’t conform to problematic societal norms is unjust.
Yea so since she’s so unsatisfied with everything and everywhere she goes, she can just work alone on her own which seems like it’s the best and only option for everyone including herself.
im latin, tho i was raised from 7 till 10 in new jersey, most my friends were black so i have the same accent, so jessi doesnt necessarily fake her accent if she was in nj until she turned 15
I think the fact that Jessi is so polarizing works to her advantage. Her English skills, her willingness to act, certain personality traits she displays work in her favor during this current era. I dont think Jessi is going away unless something tragic happens. That being said, I don't wish anything bad on her.
Jessi needs to face the reality and just go back to her roots and what I mean by go back to her roots I mean america, I know she wants to be a kpop idol the when it comes to her style of music to the Korean public it's just not their style, if she wants to release these type of songs I think she probably should go sign to an American record label because the West is the only place where people will appreciate her music and probably be able to release the kind of style of music she wants, her biggest fan base is in the states so I think she should go start their from scratch I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of artists who want to work with her there.
Unsubscribed. This channel is so biased from most of the videos ive seen from yall. Why do yall bring up stuff from a persons past thats over 10+ years ago to justify ur claim? Like shes a different person from who she was. Shes changed through the years, it would make sense if it was recent things that shes done but anything over 10 years is just reaching. For a kpop news channel, maybe stop being so biased and just report the info.
The music industry's current landscape has shifted in favor of independent artists, enabling them to flourish without the backing of a record label. The late Prince's successful establishment of his label serves as a prominent example of this trend toward artist independence. Additionally, the accessibility of media production has empowered individuals to create and operate their channels without formal journalism or broadcasting credentials. However, this has also led to the potential spread of nonfactual information, presenting a challenge, especially on platforms like RUclips, which lack regulatory constraints seen in traditional television content. I fully support Jessi's decision to pursue R&B music, as she is a determined and outspoken individual who seeks to integrate her artistic vision into her work.
I think it will be better gor Jessi to be a solo artist without any company she can do whatever she wants to but her audience is definitely not the koreans fans so it's better if she promotes outside korea
pple shd just stop spreading lies about jessi and their opinions as truth. she stayed wt the companies until her contract finished. wats wrong with her not renewing? we cry wen these other companies give long contracts to idols and abuse them, but now y'all are just talking crap abt jessi. can you just stop it and be fckn humans for once
![[C.C.] JESSI's Lunar New Year Adventure: Stirring up love (and a little fear!) #JESSI](/img/1.gif)
When neither PSY nor Jay Park have been able to handle her, it is clear that she either creates her own company or has little future since I doubt many companies want such a problematic singer, if she wants to do her artistic music, she can put her own money and see what happens.
She's too obnoxious and just wants her way. No company will let u have your way 100%
Not showing up to music shows is crazy. She's lucky it was Jay Parks label. Other labels would of immediately drop and sue her. They protected her instead.
If she doesn't create her own label and pulls this at another, I don't think she'll be as lucky.
@Pj-mj7wi Even western companies wont tolerate irresponsible artists

I stand with pnation actually. Nununana was the best album in her entire career. Psy put her on the map. The way she demands full autonomy like the company aint funding her and she gonna invest her own money
It's sad because she keeps saying she wants to establish her own agency but can't seem to push thru. It makes you think what kind of "connections" she was able to make in her 18 long years in the industry. Take Hyolyn & CL for example, two of the 2nd gen divas that were able to established their own companies because they were able to assemble their perfect team, who are, I would assume people they've met in the industry. Yes, their comebacks are not as frequent or as "successful" in terms of today's standards but the fact that they're still able to run their own label & release music is commendable. Isn't Jessi close with Hyolyn? She should ask for advice if she really wants to push her "Own Label" agenda.
Competition...
Exactly, the fact that Jessi has no connections and no one to guide her and truly wants to work with her makes me question her attitude behind the scenes. For example, look at Jennie her managers both left YG, THE YG ENTERTAINEMENT to work with her on her new company. It shows that no matter what they trust her to be successful and are happy to work with her. Hyolyn as well. Psy also left with all his team from YG. Imo plp that she's surrounded with don't seem to trust her or have much faith in her when it comes to managing her career.
Facts
@@lisaadams7339 tbf if I was Jennie's mangers i'd leave too. She's succesful, i'd probably make more money with her than under yg
According to Hyolyn there were articles about this topic she was talking about how difficult to run an agency and how costly it is. Even though we consider her she’s doing good. It’s still not easy. Imagine someone like Jessi, she’ll eventually will find the hard truth.
Showterview was her funnest project 🥺
She was pretty good on sixth sense too!
and all this happened when she was under pnation
@@bountyhunter6722 She should have stayed in Pnation...
And showterview decided to change the host without telling her. That should be a red flag
Look, I love Jessi, I fuck with her.. but she's 1000% the problem. And this inability to work with others has destroyed her reputation and basically ruined her career. Also her not being able to work with Jay.. bad sign.
I don’t agree, seeing how hyuna also left pnation and jay left omg I think these companies might not be the best
@@sonamy1231000 Idk much about Pnation but I know a lot about Jay’s company…and so I say, it’s Jessi, she the issue.
@@eahn321 I’ve seen a lot of ppl on online saying jay was the issue. So idk…….but either way she is a talented artist and she will do well no matter where she goes
@@missethio7394 Of course Jay’s haters gonna be saying that or it’s those toxic fans of Jessi’s who just be worshiping her blindly. I got no hate for Jessi, if anything, I use to like her so I cared less about the rumors before but now if anything I’m starting to think there may be some truth to it. Since you know, no smoke starts without a fire. There’s nothing wrong with thinking about and prioritizing yourself but in the real world especially in businesses, at times you gotta learn to compromise cause not everything is about you. So with her given personality and how she can come off extra, it’s just not surprising to find out that people or any company can’t work with her (at least on the long run.) And mind you this is Korea we are talking about too, where the cultural mindset and mannerisms are more conservative for her so that being said she just isn’t suited to work with anyone. I’m sure companies, people and even she herself are aware about that so I highly doubt any company/anyone wanna work with her and vice versa, especially now.
I don’t know much about her previous company but I do a lot about Jay, his work ethics and his company. His actually widely known and respected in the industry for being a lot more generous lenient transparent compared to other label CEOs, not to mention his good work ethics amongst many artists and people including civilians and for her to not be satisfied there? Just means she the issue since she’s so unsatisfied. She’s like unsatisfied with anyone, anywhere and anything. So at this point just work/do things alone on your own since that just seems like the best (and only) option for everybody including herself which then perhaps she can finally be satisfied.
Let me clarify further, I wish Jessi the best, and I hope she's able to overcome the challenges in her career so that she can continue to make music. My only concern is that if she had the ability to do it on her own, wouldn't she have done that already? Secondly, the companies/people she's already worked with are major people in the industry, I can only assume how many doors shut when she stopped working with them. Some people may see her behavior as biting the hand that feeds her, which never looks good in any context but especially in the entertainment industry where success is often directly correlated to who you know and who you are working with to make the overall dream happen. My comment regarding Jay is that he's been on both sides of the situation in his career, up and down in many ways, I would assume if anyone could understand or work with Jessi it would be him. My guess is really this, perhaps what others see as marketable and in Jessi's best interest is no longer the music she wants to make or the image she wants to represent. Which is totally fair, but it is a lot harder to make that change when you're constantly having to start over from nothing.
She's basically the cardi b of korea; both are difficult and make subpar music but people eat it up and forgive their problematic behaviour because they're "fun" & "down-to-earth". She's only staying afloat cause people like watching her but I doubt her music is really selling, a tiktok viral song can only go so far and would be hard to recreate especially on her own
This!!
tbh i know 4 songs from her. Just 4. I like her funny persona on shows shes part of. I think that she should rather be a host who releases music, honestly.
🤡
I was going to comment the same. She does get her insp from female rappers in America. I think that's the vibe she's pushing.
Well she is not down to earth. She seems to justify her behavior as such, saying she is out spoken but with good heart. But it doesnt seem that way. She cant take criticism, she wants everyone to be super nice to her but she will decide how she reacts with diff people. Her songs and made by other people, she has copyright in writing or making but she herself cant. She has admitted her tits being fake bcz duh! You cnt deny it . But what about her whole being. Face, tan, hair, anything and everything is made up why dont she address that as well. I mean. She is not down to earth thats what i am saying. She seems like someone with whom you have to walk on egg shells when she is around.
I had no idea about the physical assault. Other kpop singers have been cancelled for middlw school assault. So I'm shocked that she kept getting work.
I think she's just too American for South Korea. She tries to be K-pop, but she just comes off as an American music artist.
No shes rude thats the problem. There are so many famous korean singers who aren't idols or in kpop. Jessi acts black.
South Koreans love American music tho. My husband was in SK almost two years ago on a business trip. He talked with his colleagues about K-pop (because I, as a K-pop fan, asked him to do it xD). His Korean colleagues told him that in SK only teens/very young people listen to K-pop. The others listen to other genres, mainly American music (pop, hip-hop, rock, etc.). The problem with Jessi is her attitude and behavior, not the music she puts out
@@sendmemoneythanks how come she's rude ??
She doesnt act blk lol she was raised in new jersey she has thay vibe dont embarrass urself@hollywoodisasataniccult4022
Shes to...tacky. I am not saying she should just be generic and cute but she really looks so cheap and oversexualises herself.
Jessie should just promote and be a artist in the US. Its clear the type of personality and vision she has for herself and career will never fit or resonate with the korean audience🤷🏽♀️
I totally agree but unfortunately the entertainment industry in the US is racist. There's all these talented Asian entertainers that are Americans but can't find fame unless they go to the country they're ethnically from. It's a shame and hopefully that'll change but it's almost like Korea is her only opportunity.
US does not accepts problematic and racist people like jessi come on what are you saying?
I think she isnt going to resonate with many.
I'm not american, but i've listened a lot of songs from even back in the 90s to now and i can easily tell although she's got that "personality type and vision" that leans towards america, it's not really enough to do something with it, she's really 50% american and 50% korean, i don't see her doing better there than in her own country, there is a lot of racism in america, for all ethnic types, but thing is, she's a little past her age, and for her music type, the people that do the best with it in US are the younger people, and i believe if she'd lean towards US it wouldn't be enough really. It's like this, her american personality trips her up in Korea, and her korean personality won't really gain her any advantage in US. The best she could do is make her own company and take part both in her country and international, and i'm not only talking america cuz they aren't the only fucking country, that's one of the biggest fucked up things i've observed in Korea, y'all really think America is "THE" bomb, no... there's a whole world out there.
@@azraelyoutube I'm not American either but I'm very observant and your right there is alot to this world than just the US and even if she does start her own Company, she herself has to think business wise as well as her team. If she starts her company with the current attitude she has she isn't going to get that far , and if she decides to bring in different acts / groups or solo artist and can't market them either it's a flop regardless. She either has to compromise or do her own thing for just herself by herself Jessie has alot to think about if she really really wants to be THAT artist .
How you gonna hold someone accountable for something she said in 2006. Thats almost 20 years ago. This cancel culture is crazy.
How is it cancel culture when she keeps getting opportunities after beating on people??
She is still the same. Duh
Lmao no.. i'm gay and take absolutely no offense by what someone said 20 years ago so idgaf about what she said. if she said that today though that would be another story@@lilliebobson3146
@@lilliebobson3146 she's not lol
I'd understand if this was a 1 time thing but she's a repeat offender
She should had just paid her dues first with J Park and eventually get her way I’m sure in due time he would’ve let her. She wanted everything ASAP and it doesn’t work like that. It a shame because I think she could have done well with him.
The fact lots of idols have seen their careers being terminated for way less and there's Jessi, the biggest paradox ever...😮
Because she has never been family friendly shes always been like this
the problem is that Pnation they would not give huge promotion to jessie, but when psy promoted they broke the bank and use millions and got suzy on the video
It makes sense to put more money behind Psy because he can make the money back since he's a popular name. Jessi needs to earn that
I also think Psy is pretty heavy handed with adding his preferred style to his artists. We saw it with Jessi, Dawn, and Hyuna, and I think we’re starting to see it with Hwasa too
@@queridolovesbees9536 Doesn't that happen with all agencies? You're going to end up sounding like them somehow no matter how different you want to be.
@@angelanam793 This really is true to an extent. Somi even did an interview or appearance somewhere where she sang her song in the style she did for the release with her label vs how it would have been had she released that song still under JYP. The company is always going to have an effect on the artists' music and style, especially if that company has a distinctive style their artists are known for.
Mv with Suzy was previously shot years prior to Psy album release.
I remember how much praise she'd get for calling out problematic idols like San E. The fact that she's no better than anyone she calls out is an example of projection
She just needs to learn the business side of a company and find a good team to work with. She has been alone there since she was 15-16 so it’s understandable that she acts the way she does. The world is tough out there and being a woman is the cherry on top. She just wants something different in life at this age I think. I hope she figures out what she wants.
She's been in the industry one way or another for almost 20 years. If she hasn't learned the business side of the music industry until now, there's no hope for her
@@crazyabout1327 A person being in this industry doesn’t mean that they would know the business side of it too. It’s like saying that because you’re in college, you’ve learned all the majors. It doesn’t matter how long you do something, you always have more to learn. People grow out of things and loses passion as well. I’m just saying that she might want something different. Everyone’s circumstances are different and unique.
that’s why i’m so proud of CL… running your own company as an artist is not easy😵💫 regardless wishing for the best for jessi👍🏼
She’s the problem. She doesn’t realise it. She has zero business skills to run a company as well as be an active artist. A perfect example of someone who’s very successful in being an artist as well as the CEO of their label is Hyolyn. We even got to see her work with her team and come up with amazing world tour level productions for the stage on queendom 2. You have to have a solid team that you can trust and who are highly skilled and are going to make sure at the end of the day you profit off of what you put out. Jessi is not ready for that and it shows
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong. As a staunch Hyolyn fan that has been following her every move from the beginning =--her company struggled BIG TIME when she first went solo. Dally was a huge hit, but she suffered a bullying scandal after that that took most the majority of her fandom. Her music video were getting close to zero views--from millions of views per MV, she went to only a few thousand. Nobody was following her whatsoever, and she practically became a nobody in the industry. She was very close to quitting and giving it all up--but with persistence over the years and continuing to release music even though nobody was really watching, she has finally now started to taste some major success. Hyolyn herself said in an interview she had no vision for her company when she first started it--go watch her Eric Nam interview. People are not always immediately successful. They make many fuck-up's until they learn and grow.
@koul3709 very sad but no one asked for Hyolyn's sob story we're talking about if jessi really is competent enough to start her label and not leave it after some days like she does with every company she signs with
I like her music and the messaging but let's be honest for a second. If any other idol did what Jessie been doing badmouthing others and attacking other women they wouldn't be given the time of day. I don't like her as a person and don't financially endorse her music however I listen to a song from time to time.
Idols and performers across the global everyone knows the pain of the job but to give ONE person leeway cause it's too hard as of the others don't go through the same is a bit hypocritical imo but that's just me.
I mean there wasn’t really a lesson in “Gum” 😂

Of course I don't know Jessi, but to me it seems like she used to be very insecure & childish. Under every strong minded & willed person, was a scared, vulnerable & hurt person at one point. Seems like she may have been lashing out due to things not going her way & being so young, not realizing how your words can affect your career a decade later. Using violence as a form of control over others or even her own life. The good thing is, people can change & grow into better people. Hopefully she learned that being nasty or violent towards others doesn't signal strength, but a very deep rooted weakness. I'm rooting for her & I hope she's a better person overall now.
I'm American so maybe it's a little more lax here, but as a teen I used to be racist & homophobic until I realized the hurt it truly does to those communities of people. I had to grow up & mature into a better person. There's room & time for her to change, which I think she's already trying to do. It does seem like she's very very picky with her music & wants things to go her way, which makes sense bc it's her music! Her name is on the song, she sings or raps the song, so she had a right to express any concerns she had to make it better or different. I hope she has learned that those racist & homophobic comments were completely inappropriate & disgusting to say.
We really at the point where we have to blur out the work “ATTACK”? 🙄
who's watching this after the assault controversy?
Me✋
I mean she wants everything her way, so I am really happy she is starting her own company,she’s gonna know being a CEO is probably not easy and she’s gonna know what those people go through. With the type of person Jessi is, I think she should manage herself and if anything goes wrong, there will no one else to blame but herself because she is the owner of the company so yea, good for her.
Seeing how the tour went hopefully she's found trusthworthy people
@@lordtette thats the thing. The tour was her trying to "do it on her own". It didn't go well. Tho i hope she learned from that and will do better instead of just complaining about others not doing well.
Actually agree with KOOKIELIT in vocabulary and environments that, including Jessi, because she’s need more time and recovering from the work, maybe do something different in lifestyle situations too. With her allowing getting in trouble with stuff, Jessi needs planning on finding where she at.
I hate it when people are too quick to comment on a person's life because of others' opinions from what they see or hear; no matter what, we can never know exactly what happened; stories could be different from every side. If truths can be difficult to uncover even in courts or call for investigations then how can one conclude from very little said by each party. Jessi had gone through a lot just in her youth in different agencies and was restricted to one for more than 6 years, she never wanted to return to entertainment until Psy convinced her a lot. So, idk but to me, for someone who had gone through that, bae, please take control...leave whatever agency you want to! You're the one paying if you had to cancel the contract, right? Good! so do you. If it doesn't work out how you intended it to, get up, figure out why, leave the room and try another door! You were not betrothed to any agency at birth. Even if you were, you didn't ask for it. Take action and deal with the outcome; nobody is living the life for you! If you have to suffer and cry in your room no one is going to see you, its just you and your God so, that green light Psy gave you go and never stop its your way!
I love this comment. Idk why people keep giving opinions like they're living with Jessi 24/7 and know her inside out. Abt her keep changing record label, I don't think it's an issue. My brother in law used to change office like 3 to 4 times a year coz he is trying to find the one that suits him best, and nothing wrong with that. Just because Jessi is a public figure doesn't mean that all her opinions, decisions and etc. needs to be controlled by the netizen. Poor Jessi 🥹
i'm a jebbies and i'm also a jwalkerz so the context i know here is she had a lot goin on since her bestfriend death but the problem is jay's name is like a black ship no matter how he apologise for everything he had done ppl wont come easy for him and she make it double and throw it to him despite knowing how bad he got everything... so that's quite a redflags tbh luckily he have that patience and wont just sue or blacklisted her for the music show controversy (i'm surprised at first then I know he handle this type of situation like this everytime) I hope she just figured it out tho... but selfcompany suit her the most i think
I hope shes able to find her footing and we get to hear more from her. Ive always wondered why she wasn't more popular considering how talented she is. I like her song that focus more on singing the. Rapping so i hope she gets to continue releasing them.
What did she expect when she realized that making an agency is not easy 🤦♂️
I never liked her. Her whole image comes off as fake and phony. It’s like she tries to over-exaggerate this “urban rapper from the inner cities of America” persona.
When she said she grew up in Queens. But is from the suburbs of Jersey 🤭
I like her music but the shit she had done makes me not want to support her. If she hops around company alot she has to be the problem not the management cause who hops around companies alot like she is going to be just a company hopper
Wonho got kicked out his group just for owning money, Seojin got kicked out for allegedly bullying, Hara and Sulli got bullied to d*ath for the dumbest reasons, there was a gg that got heat for twerking while wearing a hanbok... I don't understand why Jessi get so many passes.
I get that she wants to be genuine but it comes to the point where she doesn't have respect for Korean culture at all. She goes from show to show making people uncomfortable with the things she says and expects ppl to accept her just because that's who she is.
When she literally started to blow up in pnation she decided to leave…her biggest mistake because I believe she had the most freedom there than anywhere else.
So it’s the problem of the artist not knowing the business side of things
I got no hate on Jessi and idk much about her previous company so can’t speak about it but the fact that she left Jay Park’s company (More Vision) which I know a lot about, just says A LOT about her, which means most likely she’s the issue. It’s like she’s just unsatisfied with everyone, everything and every place. So at this point she should just work alone do things on her own since that seems like the best and only option for everyone including herself and maybe then she’ll finally be satisfied as well.
If it looks like a dog, barks like a dog or smells like a dog… it’s probably a dog. Meaning looking at the track record, Jessie is likely the problem.
exactly
1000%
I love Jessy, I think she has bring a much need it freshness into k-pop BUT at the moment I learned that she was leaving J´s company I knew she was the problem. Music its a business, this it´s especially true with k-pop, she expecting companies pay for her "artistic" freedom without caring for profit its beyond naive. Wishing her the best
When you keep leaving companies because they “won’t let you make the music you want to”…maybe your music is the problem…
Psy is actually pretty conservative. Jessie mentioned that Psy commented on her dressing style and asked her not to wear revealing clothings. Hyuna also mentioned that Psy kept on asking her to modify her dance moves for her MVs. And as far as I know, both of them never released any album under Pnation
Psy is conservative? But he literally has girls in skimpy clothing and bikinis in his MVs
Jessie released nuna album
Hyuna released 2 albums.
she's too desperate to be famous in korea with her "american" attitude. she tries to "make an impact" but she has literally been just Americanizing her songs. literally nothing unique about her.
That's actually very sad, she likes something that's nor that popular nor it would make her money and time worth spending. I understand her, I too would not be happy or pleased to do things that I don't really like and enjoy.
Jay Park understand the business side of industry but Jessi does not.
I think she doesn't know what she want
Jessi and Hyuna's fans have enabled them to become extremely entitled
Honestly if she does make a company I think she will either crack under the pressure or completely change her viewpoints to make it work
I don’t think Jessi is the problem. Almost all of P Nations bigger artists left or we haven’t heard anything from them. Jay Parks company wasn’t the right fit for her. One they’re friends and two he has so many artist under him and the only time we really even get music from them is when they all collaborate together. Her wanting full autonomy shouldn’t be a surprise considering how her older labels portrayed her and basically set the tone for her career. You can’t even find any of her old music unless a fan reuploaded the video. 😢 The music industry isn’t perfect.
she's the only singer signed to jay's company back then... it's just her and jay park with holybang and mvp as dance crew.. the other jay's company like aomg and h1ghr music isn't directly been up to jay.. he step down as ceo and just stay as counselor like thing there.. i think they've the chemistry but it messed up ... on another note jay's friends to every single artist he signed except newer aomg artist where they're just co-workers
Creative liberty is what she needs and for her to do that she needs to establish her own label. 2 of 7 got7 members did it and basically got to do what they wanted. It did Mark Tuan great I like his solo songs and he seems happy releasing the type of music he wanted and success will come as long as he continues to flex his production muscles. I don't know what's holding her back but being a solo artists without an established label with a well oiled machine for pr, writers, creative directors and all the whole nine yards is quite frightening.
She did say she regrets a lot of things... If she could do this again she said she would not.
She has a beautiful voice, give her beautiful songs ... people will always listen to good music. Don't follow alot of people but consistently listening to good songs. Eg. Bol4, weekly, pentagon
she complained abt not enough freedom on Psy's label & too much freedom on Jay Park's label and you're right it's difficult being an active artist & running a label, Jay Parks done it successfully twice & I'm sure MoreVision will be a success as well be he has sacrificed alot of himself & I don't know if she's willing to make that kind of sacrifice plus she may need financial backing to start a label & that might be difficult to get if they think she's problematic
Maybe rapper is not for her. Be a playboy star might work
When you said she had to take the situation into her own hands. 😯😶.
No shade to Jessi but when she left pnation because she wanted to make certain music. I got really confused. I thought that's the sound and image she was going for.
I am genuinely happy that somebody finally made this video 😭❤️
Edit : OML 200+ LIKES ???? MOST IVE EVER GOTTEN IN MY LIFE THXX SO MUCH GUYS 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ happy Valentines Day :)
Samme 😭
Her being problematic is the only thing running through my mind ever since she left Jay Park's label tbh😭😭
No fr, it had to be addressed. And I’m glad she wasn’t scared to speak up like others lol
Agreed, she seems like a pain in the arse in every way possible.
@nino_the_foodie9740,
I don’t understand genuinely happy that someone actually called her out it’s kind of sad it makes me feel that she has lost her way when it comes to being a nice person!
P nation that PSY tried to work with her and he gave interviews as well as Jessi did! When somebody has a very headstrong controlling type personality they don’t see any options other than their own and they feel that they’re the only one in the room and their thoughts their ideas and their wants and needs are more important than anybody else’s I know I was married to one of those people!
Jessi is from America the United States and she still has that same thought process and Ways as an American.
She may have been in the business here in South Korea for 18 years but still she hasn’t learned how to work well with others and how to be able to give-and-take that’s just like in any type of business relationship or relationships in general between two people! She will never be able to have her own agency because she has to employ other people hairstylist and makeup artist set designers , etc. he also is going to need a management team those that are going to be able to book the concerts and events from one other countries that she may be going into, hotel arrangements food arrangements transportation arrangements back-and-forth from the concert to the hotel room etc. she doesn’t think this is gonna cost a lot of money if she does it her way she’s got a big wide eyed opening of how really things are done in the music business specially in South Korea! It’s twice as hard for her as a woman in South Korea to have her own business ! And I’m sorry to say because of the conservative, misogynistic and anti-feminism movement that is in South Korea it’s going to be a problem for her especially if she’s dealing with men who don’t know her and don’t respect her! She’s gonna end up going back to the United States and it’s her own fault!
Jessi is very headstrong, she works hard to be successful, is a dynamic woman who knows who she is and what she wants. Jessi is a nice person but she doesn't suffer fools gladly, she has been through a lot, made mistakes but she is only human too.
Assaulting people is a “mistake”?
Attacking ppl and saying slurs is a mistake? Just be honest and accept ur fav is problematic 😪😪
@@presidentmoomoo6689she didn't assault because she didn't start it, the other lady attacked her and her friends so she did it in self defense

@@madkmadk6809 and you believe that? And pushing someone’s head in the toilet in retaliation is just a no no, how many times have you hit someone who has hit you-?
I have liked Jessi over the years and she has put out some good stuff, however this last release "Gum" felt like a chewed up piece of gum of all her previous songs combined. She didn't bring anything new to the table. There was really nothing creative. Same beat, same sound, same repetitive type of lyrics, same, same, same. I got halfway into the song and just turned it off. She has her own style which is appreciated, but when you keep recycling it over and over it gets tiresome. I wish her the best in whatever she chooses to do, and hope that she will be able to express more of her own creative style to her music to let her fans see different sides of herself. Record Labels rely on investors to stay afloat on top of what artists put out and the profit from that. Investors won't invest if you have a reputation as being difficult, especially if she wants to start her own company. She has to show a track record of good business relationships with investors and artists to bring in the money it takes to run your own label. She has a lot to think about while she is between labels.
Jessi plays the blame game for her lack of success. It’s always the labels or someone else’s fault. And I’m sure her reputation as being difficult doesn’t help her . Nor does it help when she disparages groups or artists who have had more success than her. I’ve watched previous interviews with her and other artists, and she’s passive aggressive, low-key, and sometimes outright rude to other artists. Some people defend her behavior as just Jessi being Jessi, and even praise her for it. But if her past is any indicator, I think she’s got more problems to worry about rather than her creative freedom.
The only thing I disagree on, is the lack of success. She did incredibly well for herself, made so much money, her songs were viral hits. She could even kick back and relax from now on. Psy promoted her incredibly well. She benefited from being under him immensely.
She can be really disrespectful and I generally don't like her very much, but I can see why her personality would be popular among Koreans, especially women, who find Korean society very stifling. Jessi just comes in like a wrecking ball and turns any social environment she is in upside down.
She is a lose cannon though, ans I don't see many wanting to work with her.
I know how she is and its really hard to handle her when u have a whole team u need to compromise in everything but in her case she want to handle everything on her own her bond nature came between all the things I don't know wht she going to do in future but it's better if she open her own agency
I just lost 50% of my respect to jessi
I used to be a fan of her but after I saw all the things she did in the past I just can’t anymore
Jessi is an icon. New Jersey is where the majority of New York rappers, and other American music artists live. It’s a beautiful state, varied in regions, but it’s an East Coast state that shares multiple borders with New York. Including New York City. She’s hustling to thrive in her career in a very xenophobic industry. I love KPOP. I’m a middle aged professor in the states and have been studying kpop since I was introduced to HOT in high school from one of my Korean classmates. I hate watching all these you tube videos that criticize artists over the most ridiculous rumors and or speculation. Jessi isn’t ignorant. She’s embracing her Korean ethnicity while bringing American flavor to her music. Give her a break and let’s support idols, as they all work their hardest to thrive in a hyper critical industry.
If kpop is seeking to thrive globally, as an outsider there are so many trite and harmful actions that really creates tension to like or not like an artist based off of propaganda from videos like this.
And I enjoy this channel frequently, but I’m noticing the content isn’t very kind, helpful or raising awareness for idols beyond slandering an artist’s career. Life is hard. Let’s not make life harder for anyone anymore. She is not problematic, she’s just considered an outsider since she was born in the states. Give Jessi a break and let her talent fly. She’s already endured so much criticism I can’t imagine how she continues to try to make music because she loves making good music as a soloist. I feel exhausted for her! Give her a break…no one bothers Heechul or the SuJu old men and they get away with everything with far less talent than Jessi. Please think more critically about the factors surrounding Jessi that make it much harder as a non-native Korean woman to thrive in the kpop industry.
This! I can't wrap my head around how siwon and shindong from suju is more successful than her when they have done way more problematic stuff and when they are way less talented than her. People never give these two even an ounce of the flak that jessi gets
Omg exactly!!! Finally some1 I agree with
All the awful things she did and you still have the nerve to call her non problematic and a icon? Lol 🤡🤡🤡
@@LyraReid can you provide some examples or evidence from a non-biased news source or first hand source to prove she’s “problematic?” And then provide your neutral analysis of why she’s so problematic?
Everyone is problematic. Literally EVERYONE, sure. But I need more evidence or proof that her “problematic” actions have had devastating consequences on a particular larger global or even just from a South Korean’s objective perspective of what defines “problematic” in the first place. 🤡🤠
I’ll wait for your response with citations from scholarly evidence proving her perceived problematic qualities that are ruining the entire global community from you. It’s easy to pop a clown 🤡 emoji, but a really good netizen would not just plop a 🤡 down and change my mind. Thanks!
Thanks for this comment. I'm not a die hard fan of Jessi, but I just hate when people are trying to comment and control how an artist or idol should behave, decide & act. They're also human and have feelings like all of us. Hope people can have more common sense on this
I can't wait to support her when she starts her own company!
me too.
I love these types of videos...more please.
Honestly, imma just grab my popcorn 🍿. And watch and see how this all plays out 😂
Me too 😂😂bcz people in the comments are interesting😂😂😂😂😂
I get that this video is meant to talk about the negative parts of Jessi as an artist but the words used are overly harsh and critical. It woudnt harm to not slam the artist this bad considering shes still a respected and famous person in korea.
How so? /gen
This is why we so proud of CL with her successful solo career from her own independent company, she’s literally building her fanbase and going mainstream so good luck Jessi
Two fan assults + all other incidents shows J is the real problem. I thought she was misunderstood but no.
Jessi literally thinks shes on some beyonce level. Its about time she gets a reality check.
To be fair the music she does want to make is good. I like her old stuff a lot, but like the video said it really isn’t profitable to a business since R&B isn’t as popular in Korea as it is with Western audiences. Especially American. I think Jessi might still be too American for mainstream Korean audiences, so they have to give her “catchier” songs to make money. I really just think she’s wants to be her own artist, but is too immature to realize that her music career hasn’t made enough profit to push songs that aren’t going to be widely accepted by Knetizens. She needs to realize most people like her persona over her music and her music isn’t really what attracts people to her. She’s a good artist, but that’s about it. Which is completely okay, but it means that she doesn’t understand the work it takes to run a successful business. At the end of the day business is about money and her heartfelt songs don’t turn a profit as much as her popular songs. We see this a lot with Korean artists because the music industry is much more calculated than say Canada. I think she just needs to sign to a western label at this point
She needs Korea to stay popular. An Asian woman desperately trying to be black, while making okay rap, doesn't turn heads in the west.
Maybe she should move more into the western music industry then? She will need to be well calculated with that plan though.
@floralfancy7814 not a single person in the west is waiting for an Asian woman trying to be black.
💯!!!
The music industry is calculated everywhere. Unless you just accept youre probably not gonna be super famous or rich of it. We saw this with western labels all the time, artists making music they dont like or making compromises with their sound on their own to grow more (Taylor Swift described her moving into pop more than folk as a "smart business woman move" she didn't just fall in love with a different sound).
The way the videos from this channel are edited and narrated is...............😂😂😂😂😂😂
I mean i love jessi, ever since unpretty rapstar and sister slam dunk days but work ethic wise, she's a lot to handle. She could be uncompromising in terms we don't know but this is pretty clear already, however i still love her always
If i had to guess, "seems like" Jessi wants to be a vocalist and not continue with the rapper imagine... But None of us know anything about the personal and private inner workings of Jessi's life or how everything went at the different agencies. You can assume but until statements or facts come out otherwise we don't know what happened
Their problem with Jessi is that she speaks up for herself.
The title is so funny cause she’s always getting features😂
Jessi needs to change her mind, and be more open to accept others opinions. She's very problematic and unprofessional.
I don't think she is that difficult , but she does not take shit from anyone. Korea has huge bullying culture and respect for seniors who don't deserve that respect . It is totally easy for them to call someone who don't take shit to be called difficult.
Psy and jay park is not hard to work with. Jay park may be look crazy and carefree. But He is really sweet person . Jessi complain about psy but now she is exactly doing what psy design her career ,that shows problem is her who doesn't understand how industry and business work
She was born in New York and then lived in New Jersey... Now it all makes sense...🤔
wdym 😭 i’m not american so genuinely asking
So sad kpop idols go through alot
Go through what? Everyone has to go through something in life, she chose this career knowing the hardships that might happen
What did she “go through”?
Being disrespectful, completely disregarding the business side of things, being a literal abuser…There is never an excuse for that.
Its unhinged to be a k-pop idol in the first place. Its a sick industry and you cant even be a real artist...its a choice and most people make that choice because of money and attention. They are so fake...Jessi might not be fake but has other issues.
1:57 is there a reason the words are censored to that extent. Will youtube take down the video
Lol 😂 its so funny to meeeee how half of yall are in these comments talking about how repetitive her songs are when most of yall stan blackpink who creates the same sound every once in while comebacks.
You don't know who any of these people Stan and yet you had to bring up BP to deflect from your awful face. BP is just in your mind rent free huh? 🤡🤡🤡
If all of this are true then Jessi will never be happy at all and needs to grow up. Jumping from one company to another is already bad plus her "my way or the highway" approach will only work if she was a boss of her own company but since she is an employee she needs to compromise.
I wish the best for Jessi and her career. She’s amazing and deserves to make art and to be successful whilst doing it
I think she should just try her luck in USA.
It didn’t work that’s why she went to Korea in the first place. She doesn’t stand out or have anything unique/special to appeal in the USA.
The USA doesn't have that big of an opportunity like some people seem to think and bias. How many famous Asian musicians or actresses do you know of here?
she will be dime a dozen there
@@Ifaeya There arent many asians in the US who try to be musicians in the first place. Those migrant kids are told to become lawyers or doctors and everything creative is rarely appreciated or supported in asian families. Asians can make it like anyone else. The US has asian comedians, actors etc. ...to make it in the music industry, you need to step over bodies though. Hollyweird is demonic.
Jessi should just come back to America! We don't mind problematic singers for the most part! lol
She has a great voice.
I like Jessie and I think she's a talented artist. But it does seem like some there's some kind of cultural appropriation along the lines. In all honestly, as long as she's not showing any form of disrespect towards* black culture, I don't see any problem with her. And as far as her past bullying, I just hope she acknowledged what she did and apologized. (Edited for typos)
Honestly, it's her life so idc. The only issue I'd have is if she starts to blame others for her choices, which I don't think she will. I think she has a lot of goals that are not being met at the pace she wants. which is fine and understandable, let her cook tbvh.
I love this channel but saying BoA was from Girls Generation is wildly inaccurate and make me question the rest of the video
Hi, thank you for your comment, but this seems to be a misunderstanding. We didn't say that BoA was a member of Girls' Generation. We mentioned three people/celebrities in this order: Girls' Generation, BoA and Daniel Henny - the full sentence was "Jessi is seen saying the n-word and using homophobic slurs to refer to Girls' Generation, BoA and Daniel Henny."
Hopefully this helps to clarify the situation :)
jessi has FABULOUS music but her homophobia and insults are RIDICULOUS!!!
I think the real issue is that Jessi doesn’t really know what she wants career wise. She said Psy was too controlling which I think can be very stifling for artists, but she also said Jay was giving her too much freedom, like she still needed a bit of a push. She is great at variety programs, she is naturally funny and entertaining, we also get to see her caring, generous personality. But those can also get formulaic. What Jessi has said for several years now is that she wants to get married and have children, this is her deepest wish and desire, more than her career. I think because this is not happening she is sad, lonely, depressed and floundering. She is not really seizing opportunities because she is unhappy in her personal life. Instead of judging someone as difficult, we should be having compassion for someone who is in a cutthroat industry that is based on making money not caring for the artists well being. It’s sick how they expect them to churn out content day after day, they don’t even get a chance to breathe. We as fans need to be less judgmental and obsessed and allow artists to live as humans. Let’s be real we don’t know how dirty that industry really is, we only hear rumors about the rampant misogyny and sexism women have to face in that field, and most of us probably would not be able to handle it. She is trying to be strong and powerful in the face of all that, calling her difficult cuz she won’t conform to problematic societal norms is unjust.
Yea so since she’s so unsatisfied with everything and everywhere she goes, she can just work alone on her own which seems like it’s the best and only option for everyone including herself.
👏🏻
im latin, tho i was raised from 7 till 10 in new jersey, most my friends were black so i have the same accent, so jessi doesnt necessarily fake her accent if she was in nj until she turned 15
I think the fact that Jessi is so polarizing works to her advantage. Her English skills, her willingness to act, certain personality traits she displays work in her favor during this current era. I dont think Jessi is going away unless something tragic happens. That being said, I don't wish anything bad on her.
But i love showterview, the hong seok cheon episode is so funny and she seems like a nice person ah idk anymore
Her personality comes across as being difficult to deal with. Most people won't put up with that.
People almost killed Psy when Jessi left blaming his management, I love her so much but she is definitely the problem
Hope she can get her act together
Jessi needs to face the reality and just go back to her roots and what I mean by go back to her roots I mean america, I know she wants to be a kpop idol the when it comes to her style of music to the Korean public it's just not their style, if she wants to release these type of songs I think she probably should go sign to an American record label because the West is the only place where people will appreciate her music and probably be able to release the kind of style of music she wants, her biggest fan base is in the states so I think she should go start their from scratch I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of artists who want to work with her there.
Unsubscribed. This channel is so biased from most of the videos ive seen from yall. Why do yall bring up stuff from a persons past thats over 10+ years ago to justify ur claim? Like shes a different person from who she was. Shes changed through the years, it would make sense if it was recent things that shes done but anything over 10 years is just reaching.
For a kpop news channel, maybe stop being so biased and just report the info.
Exactly.
her attitude and hurting others in un excusable...im no longer her fan...or..i think i never was just because u heard two of her music...
When you realize not following the rules is only cool in MV
The music industry's current landscape has shifted in favor of independent artists, enabling them to flourish without the backing of a record label. The late Prince's successful establishment of his label serves as a prominent example of this trend toward artist independence. Additionally, the accessibility of media production has empowered individuals to create and operate their channels without formal journalism or broadcasting credentials. However, this has also led to the potential spread of nonfactual information, presenting a challenge, especially on platforms like RUclips, which lack regulatory constraints seen in traditional television content. I fully support Jessi's decision to pursue R&B music, as she is a determined and outspoken individual who seeks to integrate her artistic vision into her work.
WHY IS THIS JUST NOW COMING OUT
2 EVERYONE STRUGGLES
GIVE HER THE FREEDOM SHE NEEDS TO WORK
ITS NOT ABOUT THE FREEDOM SHE HAD FREEDOM, SHE JUST EXTRA ALWAYS UNSATISFIED WITH EVERYTHING.
This video made me stop being her fan.
I think it will be better gor Jessi to be a solo artist without any company she can do whatever she wants to but her audience is definitely not the koreans fans so it's better if she promotes outside korea
She is most popular in korea than international. Korea is her main market ..
pple shd just stop spreading lies about jessi and their opinions as truth. she stayed wt the companies until her contract finished. wats wrong with her not renewing? we cry wen these other companies give long contracts to idols and abuse them, but now y'all are just talking crap abt jessi. can you just stop it and be fckn humans for once
