Her Body, Her Choice
Jessie, recently on KBS2 variety talk show 'The Joy of Conversation 3', claimed about the negative comments that she received for wearing dress that exposes her skin."I just want people to be more open-minded.

Explaining further, the 32-year old indicated that she would wear such dresses more if they continue to oppose it. She added, "I also want to do things people tell me not to do. For instance, if people say 'Jessi, your clothes are too revealing, then I want to keep wearing clothing that is more revealing."

She adds, "These days, people have been saying, 'your lips are too big these days,' but so what? I got fillers and so what? I did it because I like it why do people keep saying I got uglier after I got plastic surgery? I think it only matters that I'm happy."
