Singer Jessi is making headlines as she opens up about her emotions through her music during a tough time.
Recently, Jessi shared a clip of her song “Star” on her social media story against a black screen. This song, which she wrote and composed herself, was released in 2020 and features sweet R&B vocals with acoustic guitar riffs that perfectly capture her heartfelt lyrics.
In the song, Jessi sings, “Leaving home, carrying a bundle of dreams on my shoulder, crossing the Pacific at fifteen with courage. This place I came to is a bit thinner than my parents' home temperature. On a sweltering summer night in Seoul, lying alone in a cold room, I ask, 'Where am I?' My sincere lie: I'm doing well, Mom, don't worry.”
During live performances of this song, Jessi has often shown deep emotions, even shedding tears. These moments provide insight into her complex feelings, especially as she navigates recent controversies.
In late September, a troubling incident occurred involving a fan who wanted to take a photo with Jessi. Reports say that after Jessi declined the photo request, the fan was assaulted by some of her entourage. CCTV footage captured the victim, an 18-year-old, trying to leave when a man suddenly punched him.
Jessi looked flustered and unsure before leaving the scene, and the police were called afterward, but the assailants had already fled.
On October 16, Jessi visited the Gangnam Police Station to give her statement about the incident. She said, "I hope they find the person who hit him quickly. I want them to be punished." She explained that the assailant was a friend of a producer she had just met that day.
Following the incident, Jessi has been dealing with a wave of negative comments. In her second apology statement, she said, "All of this is my responsibility," acknowledging that it can't be fixed with just a few words. Still, she expressed her commitment to correct her mistakes and support the victim's recovery.
