Jessi is the latest artist to be interviewed on TheKStarNextDoor. She opened up about a variety of topics ranging from her thoughts on wearing revealing clothing to becoming popular on variety shows.
Regarding the latter, she was asked by host Jonathan about how she spent 2022 after taking time off from the entertainment industry.
You took time off from TV for a while. How did you spend your time?
— Jonathan
She replied that this was the year she felt most tired. Contrary to what some people who only knew her from her variety show appearances believed, she was not idling around. Her schedule was packed with tours all over the world.
It was even more tiring. Last year, I had tours everywhere. My fans would know but the viewers in Korea think I’m idling.

People I knew betrayed me. I had no agency. I struggled the most mentally last year.
