PSY showed off just how close he is to soloist Jessi in an adorable text message exchange!
On August 4, Tuesday, PSY shared the cutest test message exchange he had with Jessi to his Instagram. The two are seen talking about how PSY was the one who insisted "NUNU NANA" and "Star" are songs she had to do and is glad the two songs were well-received. Jessi then goes on to say she trusts him. The whole message reads:

PSY: "'NUNU NANA' and 'Star' were the songs I insisted you had to do, so I'm glad they did will, whew. Since I insisted you to do them, I was so worried that the songs wouldn't be well received. Thanks for believing in me."
Jessi: "Oppa, I"
Jessi: "Trust you"
Jessi went on to say that even though he makes her mad sometimes, she trusts him when it comes to music. PSY found that statement so funny, he said it back to her and even made that message the caption of his post!
It appears Jessi didn't know PSY would expose her like that and she left a comment on the post! Her comment reads, "Why u gotta do me like that. But you still make me mad." She obviously meant it in a light-hearted way, leaving a heart emoji after her comment.
How adorable!
Jessi originally debuted as a soloist in 2005 under Doremi Media and promoted for four years before taking a break from music, returning to her home country America. In 2014, after her hiatus, she debuted as a member of the hip-hop trio Lucky J under YMC Entertainment.
