In a separate Instagram Story, Jessi revealed that she has been receiving treatment for six days in a row, only causing fans to be concerned over her health and well-being. In another Story, she simply asks "How?" as if wondering why something like this is happening to her.
It seems has been overworking herself. In 2020, fans voiced their concerns after seeing how many activities she was partaking in, from music shows, broadcasts, to award show appearances.
On July 30, 2020, Jessi released her third extended play "Nuna" with the title track "NUNU NANA". The song debuted at number 88 on the Gaon Digital Chart, number 15 on the Download chart, and number 102 in the Streaming Chart. By the second week, the song climbed to number 17 on the Gaon Digital Chart, number 9 on the Download chart, and number 16 on the Streaming Chart.
"NUNU NANA" peaked at number on the Gaon Digital Chart, Download Chart, and Streaming Chart by the third week. In the fourth week, "NUNUN NANA" peaked at number two on the Gaon Digital Chart, making it Jessi's highest single on all three charts. "NUNU NANA" was promoted with a dance challenge on TikTok, which went viral on the platform.
On ct. 10, 2020, Jessi collaborated with Uhm Jung Hwa (Manok), Lee Hyori (Cheonok), and Hwasa (Silbi) and formed the project group Refund Sister". As a group, they released the song "Don't Touch Me." In 2020, she also collaborated with DAWN for the song "DAWNDIDIDDAWN."
In 2020, Jessi appeared as a cast member on three shows. She appeared in MBC's "Hangout With Yoo" from episode 57-68 alongside the other members of Refund Sisters. She also appeared as a cast member on "Sixth Sense" as well as "Aw of the Jungle - Tribe Chief and Granny" from episode 427-429.
Additionally, Jessi is the host of her own show "Showterview with Jessi", which can be watched on SBS's Mobidic YouTube channel. She is also a judge on Mnet's "CAP-TEEN."
Jessi performed at the KBS Gayo Daechujke, SBS's Gayo Daejun, and MBC's Gayo Daejejeong - meaning she performed in all three major song festivals. On top of that, she performed at the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMAs) and the SBS Entertainment Awards. At the MAMAs, Jessi won the "Favorite Dance Performance - Female Solo" for "NUNU NANA" and at the SBS Entertainment Awards, she won the "Rookie Award" for "Showterview with Jessi."
Jessi also performed at the 2021 Golden Disc Awards and won the "Best Solo Artist" award. She also performed at The Fact Music Awards, where she won "Best Performer."
With all the activities she had in 2020 (and even the start of 2021!), she definitely deserves time to rest.
Get well soon, Jessi!
