Jessi

Jessi is active as of 2026-11-15.

Jessi debuted in 2005 with the single album Get Up. After a break, she returned in 2014 as a member of the group Lucky J, and a TV competition appearance in 2015 brought her wide attention. She has kept making music steadily over the many years since her debut.

Lucky J was a hip-hop trio formed in 2014 by Jessi, J'Kyun and J-Yo. The group began its activities that year with "Can You Hear Me" and ended in 2016. It belongs to the period when Jessi started to draw attention again after her earlier break from music.

Jessi drew wide attention in 2015 when she appeared on the first season of Mnet's Unpretty Rapstar. Her confident presence on the show earned her a tough big sister image, and that same year she released her first solo rap single, "Ssenunni," whose title plays on that image.

Widely known Jessi songs include "Ssenunni" (2015), "Nunu Nana" (2020), "What Type of X" (2021) and "Zoom" (2022). Many of them are lively hip-hop tracks that are fun to enjoy together with her stage videos. If you are new to her music, these songs are a good place to begin.

Refund Sisters was a project group formed in 2020 through the MBC variety show Hangout with Yoo, and Jessi joined Lee Hyori, Uhm Jung-hwa and HWASA in it. Its debut song "Don't Touch Me" was very well received, and the team went from a variety show all the way to music show stages.

Jessi hosted the web variety show Jessi's Showterview, which premiered in June 2020. With her frank and cheerful style, she chatted with many guests on the program. It was a chance for viewers to enjoy her wit and personality outside of her music and stage performances.

Jessi's music is rooted in hip-hop and R&B, and she handles both rapping and singing. Many of her songs mix Korean and English lyrics and carry bold, confident messages. Watching her stage videos is the best way to feel the energy she brings to her performances.

In 2021, Jessi won the R&B Hip-Hop award at the Seoul Music Awards for "Nunu Nana" and the Best Solo Artist award at the Golden Disc Awards. For her TV work she also received an award at the 2020 MBC Entertainment Awards. For full details, check each ceremony's official records.

Start with the widely known songs "Nunu Nana" and "Zoom," then move on to "Ssenunni" and "What Type of X." Adding Refund Sisters' "Don't Touch Me" lets you hear yet another side of her. This order gives a good overview of her energetic style and how it has evolved.
