Jessi made a fiery appearance on the November 7 episode of the Mnet variety program 'Kstar Next Door 3.' During the show, the host, Jonathan, discussed Jessi's artist profile and the phrases associated with her image, such as "A real thug," "Sexy thug," "brutal thug," and more. Jonathan mentioned that Jessi has several hit songs that contribute to her strong image.

He then asked Jessi if she agreed with the label "Sexy thug." Jessi responded, "Everyone has a different opinion, but I don't agree. How can we always be sexy? But my mind is sexy." As she said this, Jonathan presented a collage of Jessi's sexy photos.

Upon seeing the photos, Jessi commented, "That's really sexy," and went on to explain, "Everyone, being sexy doesn't mean wearing sexy clothes like this. I wore those outfits in Korea for the water bomb festival.

I can't wear these to a university festival. But the water bomb festival is perfect for these outfits. That's why I wore them." She continued, "Men are... okay. Here's the thing. How come men can go shirtless and show their nipples? Why can men do that but not women? Why can't women dress like this? It's the same thing. So I was like 'Whatever' and wore them. But that's only for the stage. I don't dress like this normally."

During the episode, Jonathan acknowledged that Jessi's blunt honesty is one of the reasons people like her. He brought up how she openly admitted to smoking and having plastic surgery. Jonathan asked her why she always strives to be honest.

Jessi answered, "I think it's funny to hide it. I'm not saying, 'I got this done.' I'm not saying that. If I got something (plastic surgery) done and go on TV, my face looks different. But if I were to say, 'No, it's just makeup,' bwargh, that's cringy. I know a lot of people who do that." She went on, "So here's the thing. Idols say they don't smoke. They say 'I don't know how to do that,' but they get caught smoking. If Dispatch catches them or something, then people will criticize them even more." She added, "Of course, smoking is not good. But I say it straight up."

Meanwhile, Jessi made a comeback on October 25 with her new single "Gum."
