The news shocked many fans, considering Jessi was the first artist to join P NATION in January 2019 when PSY first launched the company.

Over the course of the past couple of years, her friendship with fellow labelmates HyunA and DAWN has grown. Additionally, she and her boss PSY frequently supported each other, even collaborating on various projects.

So needless to say, fans began speculating about what happened. Some even pointed out past remarks she made about joining Antenna.
