Jessi
- Name: Jessi
- Native name: 제시
- Also Known as: 호현주, Jessie, Jessica Ho, Ho Hyun Ju
- Nationality: American
- Gender: Female
- Born: December 17, 1988
- Age: 36
After a four-year hiatus, Jessi gained wider recognition in 2015 by competing on Mnet's Unpretty Rapstar (Season 1), where she placed second.
In January 2019, Jessi became the first artist signed to P Nation, a label founded by PSY. She left the company in July 2022 and later joined Jay Park's label MORE VISION from April 2023 to January 2024.
On September 20, 2024, Jessi signed with the entertainment company DOD and launched her own independent label, UNNI, to continue her solo career and explore her musical style independently.
On September 29, 2024, an incident was reported where an underage fan requested a photo with Jessi but was met with verbal abuse and physical assault from a person next to Jessi in Gangnam, Seoul. Jessi attempted to stop the assault but soon left the scene. After the incident, Jessi stated that she did not know the person who committed the assault. The people on site of the incident, including Jessi, have since been sued by the victim for assault and other charges and are currently under investigation. The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul summoned Jessi for questioning as a suspect on October 16, 2024. Two days later, on October 18, 2024, Jessi’s agency, DOD, released an official statement announcing the termination of their exclusive contract with Jessi.
