Singer Jessi talked about her acting ambition and confessed to having a hard time
Jessi guested on the October 31st broadcast of SBS Power FM’s “Choi Hwa-jung’s Power Time”. The female singer released her single album “Gum” on October 25th.
On the radio show, Jessi confessed her interest in acting, saying “Of course, music is my dream, but as I’m doing it now, I keep having more dreams”, adding “Looking at myself, I think I can do anything if I try my best. It’s the same for everyone”.
She continued, “I think I can act very well”, adding that she would love to challenge a small role that doesn’t speak much because Korean is difficult. Jessi confessed that she received a lot of casting offers in the US, but missed many opportunities because she was performing in Korea.
Jessi shared, “Anyways, I really want to act and I’m confident that I can do it well”, raising expectations for the performance of actress Jessi.
A radio listener expressed their concerns regarding Jessi’s health condition as she recently canceled her performances on various music programs, such as “Music Bank”, “Music Core” and “Inkigayo”, due to health reasons.
Replying to the question, Jessi surprised Choi the radio DJ when she said, “I’m in poor condition these days”. Recalling when she had a hard time managing all the work on her own after her contract with P Nation ended, Jessi shared, “I learned many lessons. A lot of people betrayed me. It was very tiring and lonely”, adding “But I still have work to do right? So I tried to endure it and my body just collapsed”.
She continued, “I used to think ‘I can fight this’, but now my body just can’t take it anymore. I’ve been performing recently. I went to events last summer either and felt like I was going to fall down. My body didn’t move the way I wanted”.
When DJ Choi Hwa-jung asked Jessi about the way she relieved stress, Jessi responded, “Don’t do anything. I don’t know how to manage it. And I pray a lot”. Revealing that she cannot control stress during busy schedules, the female singer said, “I think I need to rest. I haven’t taken any break for the past 3-4 years. I kept running forward and getting stressed out, people left and came, they betrayed me and hurt me. It was tough.” Choi Hwa-jung agreed, “Betrayal is the most stressful thing”.
Jessi continued, “I’m having insomnia. I’m so stressed out and have been crying a lot these days”, adding “I always want to hide my pain and show a bright and professional appearance, but I feel lonely after returning home”.
Listening to Jessi’s confession, Choi Hwa-jung tried to comfort her, saying “I hope today’s broadcast helps you relieve stress”.
