Just then, Jessi mentioned the difference in reactions to men wearing revealing clothes compared to when women do it, citing South Koreans' double standards.

"Being sexy doesn't mean wearing outfits like this. The reason I wore something like this in Korea at the time was during the Water Bomb (festival). I can't wear it to university festivals, but isn't perfect for Water Bomb? That's why I wore it like this."

She continued:

"Aren't men allowed to take off their tops? I can see all the nipples. Why can men wear it but women can't?

It's the same thing. That's why I did it. I didn't mean to show this to the kids. Since it's school. It's all stage outfits. I usually don't wear it like this."

Jessi Explains Story Behind Honesty on Smoking, Breast Augmentation, Egg Freezing

Jessi also showed her honesty through various broadcasts. She is known for expressing her thoughts openly about smoking, breast implants, and egg freezing.

MC Jonathan praised her.

"One of the reasons why people like noona is because of your honesty."

In light of this, Jessi explained why she opts to be honest rather than maintain a role model image.

"I think it's funnier to hide it. Of course, it's not like, 'I did this.' I had plastic surgery. But it went on air. My face has changed. It makes me cringe when people say, "No, I covered it with makeup.' I know too many people like that."

She added:

"But you know what? Something like this happened. Idols don't smoke. I can say, 'I don't do that,' but what if someone caught me? That's worth more of criticizing. Of course, cigarettes are not good."

Jessi continued:

"What kind of Korean has this big (chest)? I do. I did it because I wanted to, I paid for it, so why do I have to hide it? I'm talking about an example. It doesn't matter, it's my body, I like being bold. What do you want me to do?"

The "ZOOM" singer also explained that even the first time she talked about her breasts, she felt excited.

"When I first talked about my chest, I wasn't talking because I wanted to, but I was excited. I was angry, so I was talking about it, and that's what came out. At the time, I said 'PD, please take this out. I don't think this is right.'

At the time, the producer of 'Happy Together' said, 'I was so happy to see this. Jessi opened the way for me.' I'm not asking women to talk, but I bought it with confidence, so what's wrong with it?"
