## Caption

I vividly remember stumbling across Jessi when I was 16 years old & being struck by her bold, unapologetic energy. There was something extremely magnetic— and honestly, a little baffling— about watching a Korean woman carry herself with such raw confidence & vulgarity. It was unlike anything I’d ever seen, especially coming from a culture where modesty and restraint are often expected of women. 

Growing up, that generational & cultural tension was a constant undercurrent in my relationship with my mom. Stumbling across Jessi felt like witnessing a cultural glitch in the best way possible. 😂 She was everything I was taught not to be…and that oddly made me feel seen. As the ‘black sheep middle child’, her attitude felt strangely familiar— like a reflection of something in me I hadn’t grown into yet. 🥲

There’s a certain kind of strength in showing up exactly as you are in a space that wasn’t built to accept you—and Jessi does that again and again. Whether it’s through her music, or just her presence, she carves out space for a different kind of Korean woman to exist. One who’s brash, funny, loud, and unfiltered—She’s built her career on her own terms, even when it’s worked against her, and that’s something I will always deeply respect. CONGRATS jessicah_o ❤️✨
