“My soul is young but my knees are kinda old”
*everyone felt that*
I LOVE your profile pic
no im 13 cant relate
my knees agree
Being an athlete for 15yrs and being 22, I felt that 100% especially since I have bad knees now
I felt it too
Nobody:
Jessi: GeT yO aSs BaCk oVeR hErE
OpEn YoUr LeGs!
Guys this is just jessi
@@simonanikcevic923 eGgsCuSe Me
Can we have Jessi do the voiceover for Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.
I KNOW IT WAS SO FUNNY 😂
“My soul is young but my knees are kinda old”
Me, 21: yeah...
Me 14: yeah
omg i feel this
I'm 20 and have arthritis. It's my mood constantly
@@cicithenerd you poor song. It unfortunate you have it at such a young age. 💜
That’s lady gaga
Eugene could totally be one of Jessi’s backup dancers-
H
trueee
TRUE
I need to see that!!
True
Jessi: You ain’t ready.
Producer: Nah nah nah, this is Eugene.
*Producer knows what’s up.*
Yup
time stamp i wanna see-
starts at 1:50
Lmfaoooo i thought the same thing when she said you ready? I was like Guuuurrllll is there anything eugene cant do?!??🤣🤣🤣
IKR!! hahahahaha
Jessie being considerate of the time limit and suggesting the tiktock choreography.
Try guys producer with more conviction than most parents have in their children: nah he's fast teach him the whole thing
It probably was Jessi's producer who said that though... If it were Rachel or Nick or Alexandria they'd mention the name I guess
I figured it was one of his sisters from the way she gestured off camera the first time she mentioned the song
We all know what Eugene is capable of. He's not the ranking king for nothing. Jessi is also a great teacher, very comfortable to work with.
nah i don't think so, it's not one of the try guys producers bc it's not safe for them to go to korea with him. it's probably his younger sister, whitney, or one of jessi's staff.
@@rebellerene why wouldn’t it be safe ?
Plot twist: Eugene ends up dancing with jessi in one of her concerts
I wish
Plot plot twist: Eugene becomes the newest member of BTS
No put him in a music video!
Yaaas! Do South Koreans know about Try Guys?
plz
“Yes! Now get your ass back over here.”
I’m in love with this
YES! LOL that cracked me up 🤣 she was like reel it back in EUGENE! 2:42
@@m41497 Jessi’s boldness is so perfect for her. Like I love her so much 😭
That was one of my favorite parts!!
I'm LOL
Yasss
The collab no one was expecting yet everyone needed.
Yaaaaas
I was abt to comment the same thing😔
Freaking agree, I'm dying
I literally screamed.
literally about to comment the same thing
Avengers Endgame: We’re the biggest crossover
Eugene and Jessi: *No.*
True
Billy Liang hip hip music and dance: I’m the mega crossover
Zach's over here drooling over BTS while Eugene is in Korea actually trying to become a Kpop star xD
We appreciate all of them for even taking the time to search it up
Next, Zach drools over Eugene dancing
i'M JiMiN
Can you imagine Zach trying to learn this choreography...he would crumble or break
BURN. LOLJK. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So no one's gonna talk about how Eugene fucking nailed ittttttt
Yes? Everyone does? Even jessi?
Ikr!!
Yes his dance moves were so sharp
It was one of those times where after the dance finished + 5 seconds later I suddenly realised my mouth is dry because my jaw DROPPED since I don't know when
So no news there. LOL Everyone knew he'd nail it.
"I killin it bcs my dancer killin it" what a humble! I love how jessi is all over youtube. She really is sincere and genuine.
Fr and she's never wrong about peoples character so you know who ever she likes you can trust too. She's so cool.
"Jessi hires Eugene as her back dancer."
Eugene would take over center 🤡
@@lesli2147 no
Oh no hunny, he would steal the show
Yas
Was literally saying this the entire time while watching this video😂😂
This is basically Jessi's year. Seems like she got double the fame/popularity.
Definitely, she really blew up this year, probably in the top 5 most popular Koreans outside of Korea this year.
@@bogueji1 its because she finally found the right company for her
As she should :D
Because Psy believes in her and let's her do what she wants.
P Nation is definitely going places
What she deserved
omg but can we please appreciate that this was edited in the style of a k-variety show?! the sound effects, the zoomed in expressions!!!! CHEF'S KISS
Props to YB!
Yaaaaas YB great job 👑
Thanks to YB for that.
YESYES
Righttt
Jessi should make a song from Eugene's icon line "I'm right, you're wrong, shut up".
This would be EVERYTHING
And have him as a dancer too!
Dang I wanna see that now
They should collab
@@LordSatan20 yea I mean he's got the talent I think he could do it.
I need a part 2 where Eugene and Jessi go out drinking
Tiffany T yessss 😂😂😂
Video of the year 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh man you just said it sister
Hahahaha ya lol
YES
Eugene: *Learns the full choreo under 30 mins*
My dumbass: *Still can’t do a body wave for the life of me*
your username oml
IKR
@I've Been Jiminified and Woozified HONESTLY 😂
Honestly same
I love your username XD
The fact that Jessi praises her dancers are literally just. 💁🏻♀️👑 qween
Jessi is literally the sweetest soul...sad some people judge her on her looks
She's worked with the same stylist for over ten years now, that probably tells you all you need to know about what she's like as a person.
@@booknerdjebbi5037 right most kpop idols change to better or more expensive stylists but jessi had her stylist even when she became successful
She made an mv cold blooded making dancers shine and take opportunity
Me, sees “Try Guys feat Jessi.”: clicks
GAGAGAGAGAAGAG this is wonderful! PRANK! It is terrible! I looked in the mirror and saw something UNPRETTY: my face. GAGAGAGAG! But I am happy again because I have TWO HOT GIRLFRIENDS and I make cool YT videos with them! Good evening, love and peace, dear kyle
Click in 0.5 second i guess haha
I love how the camera crew was like “don’t under estimate Eugene” 😁❤️
Never underestimate Eugene!!!!
We can try to pretend that all try guys are equal in reality it is just not. Eugene is like a super human.
He taught me how to ring ding dong
Always bet on gay
On Korean shows they keep the image that Jessi isn't eloquent, how she makes funny mistakes with Korean language. I love seeing her able to speak English and talk about deeper topics here. Thank you for doing this collab
Eric Nam also does a good job on giving her a platform on his podcast !
@@daniellae5480thanks! I'll go have a listen!
@@daniellae5480 Yes!! ive listened to it and shes very open there. The name of the podcast is Kpop Daebak !!
You gotta listen to her on 'Fun With Dumb' and 'Kpop Daebak Show' , there she spoke her heart out.
Hope I'm not late, she also did an interview with Dave.
"Confidents isn't something you're born with,
You have to learn"
- Jessi, 2020
the BEST quote I've ever heard about confidence
ngl it's genuinely some of the wisest stuff I've ever heard and should be spread around
That's the realest thing ever.
Exactly. This speaks volumes.
Malayali?
@@Purplanne ye
Lets take a moment to appreciate how strong Eugene is! He was in korea for an urgent family health issue (may his step-father rest in peace) and yet he still manages to keep working and creating amazing content. We love you Eugene!
Wait what hapeneddd
@@user-be4cg7rx5e His stepdad passed away.
@@1123Navi oh damn, that's really sad
Taeyong burnt scalp yeah
Taeyong burnt scalp I’m assuming his mom is heartbroken, I feel so bad for the family. :(
Jessi: r u ready
Eugene : im ready
jessi : r u ready
Eugene : oh im ready
jessi : OPEN UR LEGS
Eugene : wait excuse me
hahahaha
What time is that?
@@testmylimits752 3:34
Eugene would be the worst back-up dancer. He adds so much swag in his movements that it's now his dance! haha
Too true.... you can't dim the brightest star
I love how the only reason Eugene is bad at something, (and the only thing he’s bad at) is because he’s too good
I was just thinking about how I couldn’t take my eyes off of him
Damn, Eugene makes me feel like he only needs 5 minutes to learn any choreography that he wants
He would steal the show
I feel like a lot of men, irrespective of region and culture, do not know how to converse with a strong independent woman. Huge props to Eugene for effortlessly vibing with Jessi.
Eugene has had a lot of practice with 2 older sisters. Heheheh... This collab was awesome!
@@nickangelie Eugene has 1 older & 1 younger sister. He's the middle child. But I think you're right that having 2 sisters probably did contribute to his respect for women 👍
i feel like a big part of that is eugene is comfortable with his innate femininity. alot of guys are intimidate by strong women cause they break the mold and they dont know how to step back and match the energy of a strong woman.
THAT PART
Jessi saying : "I'm not a dancer" is the biggest lie of the decade!
Or like the haters sting jessi isn't good looking
@Game Grrl could you tell me what surgery she has had?
@Game Grrl well I ideally don't like plastic surgery but she looks so amazing
the fact that Jessi said the dancers made her look great just makes me love her more like SHE BE REAL OVER HERE not just taking compliments and that's it
I think it's worse that she claims to "fuck beauty standards" but had a ton of operations and propably works out a lot in the gym to meet these beauty standards. Hypocracy like this reinforces beauty standards!
Jessi is so iconic
“My soul is young
But my knees are kinda old”
I feel u Jessi.. i feel u...
I can relate.
Eugene just casually hanging with a K-pop star and absolutely killing that dance because y'know, its Eugene
@We all have secrets u da real oneee
Eugene can literally DO EVERYTHING
GO EUGENE YOURE DOING GREAT SWEETIE
I love how she thought she was just gonna teach him the tiktok version because the regular dance would be too hard for him and the producer went, "no, he's fast". Then, "Eugene is, um..." It's been a while since any expert has been really schooled on how gifted Eugene is. LOL when she was talking about one dance move that was so hard for her to master and Eugene NAILED IT.
"My soul is young...but my knees are kinda old"
Same Jessi, same
I felt that one.
I felt this in my knees
I love seeing Jessie with more chill people, because she's so fun but also has that earnest yet outspoken side to her.
It's Jessi not Jessie
"I'll teach you the easy one, i don't think you can learn the whole choreo"
Me: soo first time meeting Eugene?
Everyone knew he was going to kill it
Yep had the same thought
Mhm Eugene is like some kind of super human
100% agree LOL
Jessi: open your legs
Eugene: excuse ME??
Jessi: FOR THE DANCE
I screamed 😂
Dancing with that plaid shirt, Eugene isn't just a snack, he's a PICNIC.
Oh dang I was not prepared for that tasty little pun
@@h.m.d.2989 i am mat floored by this delicious interaction
Omg😹😹
He's a whole buffet to himself.
EEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY
Can we all appreciate that this video was more than just learning a kpop dance? There's cultural diversity, accepting yourself, finding confidence... This video was uplifting and enriching and I just want to appreciate the Try Guys for making this type of content.
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Yes!!!
Jessi: That'll take you *forever* to learn so-
Staff: oh he's fast
Fans: yEAH HE'S FAST
So basically Eugene is Lightning Mcqueen :)
Yea hes fast, in bed😂😂😂
@@MK_1Ultra and I oop-
I read this in Keith’s deep voice 😂
I hope Eugene does a collab with Hwasa next!! It would be amazing to hear about her journey as well because so many people have judged her for the way she is. I also know that Jessi is pretty close with Hwasa, fingers crossed for this collaboration!
Yes! Imagine him doing Maria!
Ok. YAAAAAASSSSSSS
UGGHHH I WOULD DIE EVER SO FUCKING PEACEFULLY
Yeeees pleasee!! 🙌
@@ki4674 yes yes yes! OMG! My life would be complete
"My soul is young,
But my knees are kinda old."
LOL'ed to the nth degree
Side note, I am so happy that Psy made P Nation. It's still new, but it's easy to see that artists signed with him are allowed to be who they want to be and they're much happier. Jessi, being the excellent judge of character that she is, decided to sign with a label that was brand new, and that makes me trust Psy so much. I will support this company with all my heart so it can grow and take in more artists that want to be treated like humans. Hyuna and Dawn are much better off there than with Cube.
I'm excited to see what P Nation brings next after finding out they signed Hyuna, Dawn and Heize. They're very experienced and talented k-artists, looking forward to see what Psy is upto with his artists.
PSY is quite literally the king of the world.
Jessi: He's sweating so much I feel so bad
THIS IS THE CUTEST JESSI IVE SEEN. YALL PEOPLE SHOULD BE SHOWING THIS SIDE OF JESSI MORE TOO IT'S TO FRACKING ADORABLE
Oh my God YESSS!!
If you watch "Sixth Sense" you can see that she is the cutest among all the cast!
watch her yt interviews where she hosting, she is so adorable,m
@@purplegirl4097 omg Ikr
she's even more adorable in her own show called showterview! she makes all her guests feel comfortable and it's always hilarious over there 😂
YOU SHOULD WATCH SHOWTERVIEW GAHSS
PD: He's a fast learner.
J: You think he can do all this??
PD: Eugene is... uh...
PD trying to find the words to express how unfairly talented Eugene can be. 😂😂
"We'll just do the tiktok dance"
Eugene: they really thought....
My heart sank when Jessi touched on the "stereotypical bad bitch and loud role or perspective" that some people made her feel obliged to be, when in fact she is so sweet and heartwarming, just as Mamamoo's Solar said: "Jessi is extremely delicate and nice"
She has some pretty good burns and comebacks though. She's fiesty!
fact: you can be a bad bitch and be sweet at the same time 😇
The thing is, like most women, Jessi is obviously multifaceted: sweet and lovely, but will be savage when she needs to be.
she breaks character at 9:44. just hear how she says "thank you" in that baby voice. thats her real self.
@@ThatFilmisGnarly And you know this how?
Eugene murdered that choreo along with putting his own style into it. Jessi was lowkey shook lol. Loved this collab!
tru dat
Highkey shook 😂
“Older or younger?”
“I’m right in the middle.”
*It all makes sense now. Fellow middle children, it is a historical day.*
YO WTF AM I DREAMING OR DID THE QUEEN HERSELF JUST COLLAB WITH THE TRY GUYS
Idk who Jessi is lol
yesssss I was like: what just happen?! Is this really happening?!
literally IM SO SO HAPPY????
I FREAKED OUT AS SOON AS I SAW THE VIDEO JESSI IS PROBABLY MY ULTA FEMALE SOLO ARTIST AND I LOVE HER SO MUCH
I was so confused when I saw this in my recommended after I refreshed. It doesn't seem real
Jessi: talking about how she’s young but her knees are old
Me who’s had joint problems since I was little: I feel that
Me too
Me too!! Did you ever figure out what the problem is/was??? I’ve been going to doctors forever and can’t get it diagnosed
@@xxxmochibaby no. It runs in my family but we don’t know what it is. For me my joints start hurting from walking around too much, or if I’m cold. It also happens when it’s going to rain
@@xxxmochibaby me too I had actually went to many doctors to get diagnosed but they never knew what it was.
@@xxxmochibaby I’ve found that keeping up with core strength helps significantly. For a while I was doing abs twice a week and it barely hurt when I was doing that.
Why is no one discussing this gem of an interaction:
Jessi: Are you ready
Eugene: I’m ready
Jessi: Open your legs
Eugene: Excuse me?😅
Jessi: like this *does the move*
Eugene: Oh for the dance!
Lmao 😂
Me likey naughty Eugene 😂
I died laughing 🤣🤣🤣
He dirty minded
I wheezed so hard in this part lmao i didn't think nobody noticed this 😂
Big respect to Jessi!
No comments? Everyone is just speechless of how true this is 👀
"my soul is young, but my knees are kinda old" JESSI
Put this on a T-Shirt.
I was like "same grrl".
I died when she said that xD
I love how Jessi is always being herself and that she is not afraid to Express her self
And she’s really nice!
We need someone like Jessi who truly isn't afraid of speaking her mind. Especially as a woman. We love her!!!!
shes a blackfish UH
hh - how? Cause she raps? Kpop is full of rap lol...??
@@VlVlWONG what, because she has tanned skin? Dark and tanned skin is not exclusive to black people.
"i was killing it because my dancers were killing it"
this is why we love jessi
i like how she said "confidence isn't something you born with, you have to learn (it)"
Eugene: calls her Noona
Also Eugene: is a year older than Her
Loved the collab!!!
🤭🤭😂😂🤣🙏🔥🔥🔥
Can we take a moment to acknowledge that Eugene was going through something super emotional during his time in Korea and he still made videos? That's really strong. I just want to take a moment to acknowledge that because it feels super important. I am excited for a video but I worry it took away from his time to just exist. My sincere hope is to send so much love and support.
What happened?
His step father passed away. That's why he went to Korea. He was trying to get there before he passed but didn't quite make it in time.
@@sws.custom.designs if I remember correctly, it was his stepfather? He responded to a comment saying that his father was well, a while ago
It's heartwarming to know that he took something that he loves (art, performance, cultural appreciation) and really dove right in during a time of emotional stress. He had such a bright smile the whole time learning the routine and it radiated to my soul.😭
@@Gio-ut8tl that's what she said. She said "step father".
Eugene grinning as Jessi started hyping him was sooo cute
Eugene: You're from the States.
Jessi: Yes.
Eugene: But also an international Kpop star.
Jessi: Yes.
I love this collab!
I remember jessi saying "not a lot of people ask me serious questions", so I really love this video because they were talking about things that obviously matters to jessi. 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Yeah in sun mi showterview i think..it was pretty sad when all they asked jessi about...her surgeries etc etc
Dang! This one right here y'all!
@@yuki97kira that’s all anyone asks her :( soo many hosts on shows ask her that. they make it her whole personality 😐
Me too!
who cares
Jessi: Yes, it's that kinda vibe
Eugene walking around all cocky
Also Jessi: Now get your ass back over here!
Eugene running back like an asian kid to his mom calling him to do homework (ah, memories....)
“Yes, Noona...Sorry Noona.” 🥺
Jessi being proud of Eugene's dance is the cutest thing ever
“You’re actually from the States right?
-yes
But also an international kpop star
-YES”
No one:
Me when jogging:
*my soul is still young but my knees are kinda old*
I came here so quick Jessi and Eugene collabing is a dream come true
Saaaameeeeeee
yessss!!
U aren't dreaming my friend..
RIGHT!?
Ugh, same 💖
When jessi started saying "yes!" To eugene she sounded like Jackson for a second
True XD
Man, I cannot believe Eugene and Jessi are in their 30s. Now, I aspire to be like them
The magic of good genetics. I know it well - I’m not Asian, but my mom’s side of the family, the women age slowly. Like I’m 30, but recently I had people thinking I was 16, 18, and 21; my mom is in her early 70s, but looks like she’s in her 50s or 60s; then you have my grandma who is in her early 90s, but looks like she’s in her 70s or 80s. The only one who isn’t nearly as blessed is my half sister (different dads), as she’s in her early 40s but she doesn’t look like she’s in her 20s much, and most people would peg her somewhere in her 30s. My mom says it’s probably because of her dad’s genetics, and I was lucky my dad (who passed away 3 weeks ago) and some of his family age somewhat slowly (though not as much as my mom’s side) - and even being on dialysis (Stage 4 failure in his kidneys) and oxygen, when he passed away he still looked somewhat younger and healthier than he actually was. But it’s always amazing to see how slowly many Asians age - we white people don’t always have that blessing.
@@kimberlyhaines107 long line but like I fully agree but yeah im only 11 and some people think im some 13 yr old qwq sad lamo but yeah some people look really young
Damn, Eugene could be a backdancer and no one would notice.
Ok but, isn't he a dancer? Like, why are anyone amazed because Eugene is this good? He is good in basically everything, so of course he is amazing in his job, makes sense? 😶
and there are probably a LOT of closet gay backup dancers in KPOP lol
Yeah, but I would totally notice Eugene ;)
Jessi please hire him. Consider this video his audition.
FACTS
Jessi: you ready? open your legs
Eugene: *no hesitation, opens his legs* *thinks about it*
Also Eugene : EXCUSE ME
switch culture
Eugene is such a fast learner😳, but his sass doesn't allow his dance to have a badass chill type of flair, although it might as well just be his choice
@H. O. FR! Imagine like a week or month 🤯
I think if he'd had a few more days it would have settled down, he was just really psyched.
“ confidence is not something that you’re born with , you have to learn “ wow . Just wow .
Love how you highlighted this
ALL RISE INTROVERTS
Yeah at the age of 3, I instilled in my daughter not let anyone run over her I don’t care who it is. Young or old, she’s 28 now and a force to be recking with. Through Jesus
She's Damm right about it.. everyone struggle about but don't talk about it
eugene dancing nunu nana embodies the boy group covering a girl group style: go HARD and drop it LOW
I know this must have been a meaningful video for Eugene to create. Both of them are Korean-Americans who grew up forced into different molds that weren't true to them. At some point, they both were like 'f*** it' and became true to themselves. Both of them are such authentic inspirations to other people. And side note -- it annoys me how good at everything Eugene is! I WISH I HAD TALENT!!!
Jessi is another legend. Her juniors can thank her later for paving a new and easier pathway for being accepted easily to be authentic in korean culture. What an inspiration. I admire her for standing her ground.
Jessi: open your legs
Eugene: *shock* what.. Excuse me?!
Eugene: Ohhh for the dance. *doing face palm deep inside*😂😂
I f*cking can't stop laughing.
WHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Jessi deserves more recognition. She hasn’t followed societal norms, is her truest self, and speaks her mind. She is truly an inspiration.
I AGREE!!!❤
Reminds me of cardi b
Y'all lets be honest, Jessi is revolutionizing the k-pop industry! She is redefining what a female artist can do and paving the way for other women - PLUS she's always supporting her fellow idols, nothing but love! WE NEED TO SUPPORT AND PROTECT HER AT ALL COSTS
YOU SPOKE THE TRUTH SIS 🙌🙌🙌
A spitting facts in one comment
tbh there is not much of paving she doing for idols because they are held to different standards but for Korean Americans she is definitely doing something
@@remberkd9585 You're right. I think Jessi's biggest contribution to Korea through her work is pointing Koreans in the right direction of diversity and inclusion, which they sorely lack as a homogenous society.
@@nickraoyj Yeah she is taking away the stigma against Korean Americans, and getting their back in a society that keep to themselves....in a way she is helping Korean society to be more open to foreigners and half Koreans
Eugene "the kpop idol who's not a kpop idol but should be and if he was he would be everyone's bias, no exceptions" Lee Yang
‘My soul is young, but my knees are kinda old’ lol I turned 30 this year and this is exactly how I feel when dancing 😂
I'm 26 and I can still resonate with that. I try doing lunges and my knees are like really girl?!!
I’m a 16 year old former professional dancer and even I can relate
I'm almost 50, and had to start injections in my knees because they look like softballs every time I dance. 😭
And I'm in 20 and I feel like that.
I love how comfortable Jessi and Eugene are around each other. I think they definitely feel connected through being Korean Americans
This is the video I was teasing! 🤩 first try at trying to edit Korean style 🇰🇷🇰🇷 thank you Eugene for letting me edit this video! Awesome dance, love Jessi 😍🔥🔥
Love the editing YB!! Awesome job!! 👍
Well you succeeded!! You succeeded so well that I forgot I wasn't watching a k-artist interviewing another k-artist in a k-variety show segment!
You did a great job editing this! I really thought someone from Korea edited it!
It was great!
화이팅~~~~!😘😘😘
I freaking LOVE Jessie. There are so many haters on Instagram saying that she shouldn't be herself in a country like South Korea, but no bitch. Everyone needs to be themselves. She already tried the route of behaving like every other k-pop star but she's not like that. She can't be like that. She can't fit herself into the mold and after years she finally accepted that.
Try guys try:
• Escape rooms
• Nail art ft. SimplyNailogical
• Pole dancing
• Play Among us
They've done Bob Ross!
OMG AN ESCAPE ROOM THAT WOULD BE AMAZING
Catherine Cane ooh yeah I forgot!
i love the nail art idea
Omg I love all these ideas I hope they do this in the future
Alternate title:
**Eugene shows off his skills to Jessi for 10 minutes**
H.M. D. I’m the 999th like :)
I DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR AGES
I thought Jessi and Eugene were like 20s i simply cannot believe this lol
@H. O. lol I'm Eugene's age... people really be thinking folks in their 30s got wrinkles and shit
@H. O. honestly. people always think I'm 22 as well, and 99% of the time, I don't: smoke, do drugs, go tanning, drink coffee, drink alcohol more than 1-2 times a month, drink pop more than once a week, wear makeup,* or come into close contact with harsh chemicals.**
but on top of that, yeah, I think a lot of internet people just don't know what a 30-something looks like.
* there is nothing inherently wrong with wearing makeup! but some people do not know how to properly care for their skin when they use it.
** sadly, many people cannot avoid this due to their jobs.
It’s the Asian gene lololol
Okokok but like in refund sister, everyone looks in their 20's when one is in the 40's and one in the 50's...by 50's im probably gonna yell at kids to get off my lawn and break my back picking up a bottle of ketchup
Jessi was only 31 in this video, so she exaggerated a bit
Something I didn't notice before and I really love is how this video is edited in Korean style-- emphasizing moments with shiny words or big heads.
"confidence is not something your born with, you have to learn it" - Jessi 2020 ❣️
I’m so glad that Eugene and the crew was able to show Jessi in this way, like a humble and funny and confident person, instead of how Unpretty Rapstar portrayed her as the b**ch and as a loud and rude person. They can showcase her real personality, which I think is really cool. Nice job 👍
EDIT: So my comment was a bit unclear, lemme clarify. Jessi is a queen, she has an amazing stage presence and aura with some serious skills not to mention her personality, which is funny, cute, and charismatic. I am in NO way calling her lazy rude, etc. and I don't mean to offend any Korean shows either. It did first come to my attention through UPR, but after watching even more shows (Let's eat dinner together, Show me the money, High school rapper, etc. etc.) I noticed that they weren't directly portraying her badly, but especially in ways they edited/added effects seemed to throw her shade. It has been mentioned in the comments, too. I think the replies here are assuming that I'm foreign, and that was quick. True, I may not have 100% knowledge on Korean pop culture and shows out there, but it's a bit early to be assuming that I'm not Korean? Anyway, hope that clears it up :) Sorry if I've offended you, I think my comment was just worded a bit badly. Have a nice day if you've read this far
The korean shows are doing better at showing her playful/Sweet side. In the Refund Girls project, she's shown in a better light along side other powerful women. I think that's part of the problem; usally she's the most confident and outspoken woman on a show, but in that group, she's one of many and that it's a positive thing.
I've always seen the negative comments about Jessi. But, I really find her genuine in variety shows. She seems to light up the place.
@@hbWhovian what is refund girl project? Can't find it
@@helenabroome3509 it is from Yoo Jaesuk's show How do you play. It is their current project where Jaesuk plays as their producer where she's in a project group alongside Lee Hyori, Uhm Junghwa and Hwasa.
@@helenabroome3509 it starts on episode 56 of the korean show How do you Play? Or Hangout with yoo? It's a really good show highly recommend
I just wanna say that PSY is the OTP. He's out here helping all the artist that have been wronged and giving them the freedom they deserve. So start taking notes companies. *Cough u stupid three dimensional square cough*
Cube right?
PSY invented hip.
*cough 3 dimensional poop indeed cough*
3 DIMENSIONAL SQUARE I SJJSJS
Pnation line up is crazy, it's soo good. Jessi, Crush, Hyuna, Dawn and recently the digital monster herself, Heize... Like wtf
I love Jessi but I also just have to say, in an alternate universe, Eugene would make a great K-Pop star
Okay but imagine, Jackson, Jessi, Amber, Eric and Eugene together-
Dont forget Ailee! Gosh the collab would be E P I C
tragicblush YA I KNEW I FORGOT SOMEONE. I would dieee if it happened
Jae? Jimin (from ASC)?
Jae from day6 too
Throw aleXa and Jae in there as well
Remember when she said she is a singer not a rapper and then completely owned Unpretty Rapstar? She might also not be a dancer but she is amazing at dancing.
This is a collab I didn't see coming, but definitely am glad to see happen. Love both of them.
Yes. My thoughts exactly lmao
That speaks volumes of how amazing of a person Eugene is that he is such a fabulous dancer but he didn’t want to brag about it. The producer has to tell her how good he is. I love Eugene. A lot of people would have taken that opportunity to endlessly talk about how wonderful they are. He’s so humble.
Unpretty Rapstar was absolutely the turning point for her. She had so many iconic lines, showed off such confidence and skill. I’m so glad she came out on the other side!!
Issa COMPETITION BABY
I miss that show so much 😢
Honestly, I think Jessi is what made the show really take off. You don’t see a person like her on korean tv every day. Like you said, her iconic lines, her talent, her as a person just really took it to the next level!
We are doing the stripes down tictok version-
Uh, Eugene is--
Gets dance perfect in 30 minutes.
Funniest moment of the whole video
Not surprised at this point.
She obviously hasn’t seen him in action before! LOL
I shouldn’t be surprised that this American girl had to go to her parents’ country to become a star but I am. American pop still has a bias against Asian pop stars - the closest we have is Hailee Steinfeld and I suspect that’s because most people don’t realize she’s Asian. Bic Runga never took off, Vienna Teng’s success is largely underground. The K-Pop surge in the States is such a refreshing change!
Truue!! Also fun fact a lot of people dont know is that the rapper “tyga” is part Vietnamese🙂
Oh wow, I haven't seen Bic Runga mentioned on a video that wasn't about Aotearoa/New Zealand! Chur!
Hold up hailee is asian???
@@ppfle she is filipina
HAILEE STEINFELD IS ASIAN?!
I just love how Eugene can put his own style into any dance. They both rocked it!
