The H.O (Jessica) is back!

Jessica H.O

Jessica H.O, quite possibly one of the most hated K-Pop artists ever, made her official comeback on the January 10th episode of Mnet M! Countdown. And nobody even noticed, which means I would have to retract my statement about her being hated.

Anyway, Jersey girl Jessica H.O made her official comeback with "Life is Good (인생은 즐거워)," and I was pleasantly surprised. H.O's vocals have actually improved from her horrific debut days, but she's still ghetto, minus the fab. Which means, Korea probably won't accept embrace her. Oh, and talking smack about BoA during her (Jessica) debut days didn't exactly help her case and popularity either.

On a side note, I love how she titled her song "Life is Good," when it's obviously pretty bad for her.

Thanks to Jen for the tip.

LOL, oh lord! Why did she even try? Doesn’t she realize she is hated by many and most just don’t even want to bother to hate her? Wasn’t she apart of SM and then dissed SM? Her comeback is a failure just from the start. She fucked up her own image from the beginning and now there is no way way to get a second chance. No matter how people say “oh I hope her attitude changes or I hope she has matured.” No doubt she probably learned her mistake but the damage is already done. No offence to anyone Miss HO doesn’t fit any music style image (innocent, gangster, fab…) She should just finish her education (if she even continued it) and live life normal since NOTHING is going to change about her.

I actually like the song. She sounds a lot better than some of female Korean artists I have heard lately.

People don’t like her because of some stupid stuff said almost 4 years ago.  People!! Get a grip!!  You mean to tell me that everyone in the music industry has to like BOA?  You mean to say people can’t say bad stuff about BOA?  PLEASE!!! If you don’t like someone, you don’t like them. Period.  And how old was she when she said/wrote that stuff, 16 or 17? Oh Yeah…everyone on this board were very intelligent and said really SMART things when they were teenagers! Nottttt! Get over it and move on.

I like her song.

Her attitude is the main problem, and I hope that she has it fixed (for better).
Her voice is alright.

i have to admit, she has really strong nice vocals but her look is all wrong. she doesn’t even look gangsta… if that’s what she’s aiming for. her pencil drawn eyebrows don’t make her look thuggish at all, it just makes her look cheap. imagine when it rains, her brows will disappear!! i do have to give her props for speaking her mind, though talking trash about another artist is not something you’d want to be talking about especially if you’re trying to enter the music industry in Korea.

#163, sorry, she was 20 when she said stuff like that, not young anymore. 4 years after, if she really made sth to let people think that she feel sorry about that, people maybe forgive. But I see nothing happen. Btw it’s not only BoA, now she said that stuff with all SM female artists, and Daniel.
It is Korea/ Asia. Not America.

even with the b**chy attitude I have to give girl some credit cause I do like boa and all but vocally wise jessica has got boa beat while boa outdances jessica. unfortunately her attitude will prevent people from even giving her try which is unfortunate because she is talented if you take a second to forget how she looks and acts. She also is versatile and would make heck of a kpop rapper.

@uknowlover2: Yoo bin, how so? o_o

anyway, I read her myspace comments and she was just a young, stupid teenager who obviously harbored jealousy for BoA and Sm. Oh well, she ruined her career as a singer and hopefully she learned from her mistake.

 
Hyewon's avatar

She’s back? Oh goody! I was waiting to see something ridiculous. Why is she still signed with a company? Those connections of hers must be real good.

 
Coutura's avatar

The ironic thing is she sounds a lot better than certain female artists out right now. Too bad her image will stick with her forever.

And also, you’re right - the opposite of love is apathy. I definitely know about her comeback until I watched this.

Oh what??? The whore is back again?? I almost fell off my chair when I see that ridiculous face of hers. Haven’t she learn her lessons yet? I don’t see the point of her entering the entertainment world again… She sucks to the max because she can’t sing for sh*t. Her voice sounds like a robot and her plastic face gives a big Z minus. She told people how she admired other great celebs and then turned around and secretly sent bad comments about her seniors. Thank God people found out the real nature of her and kudos to the netizens for hating her. Dissing about other celebs maybe no biggie but she even bullied her classmates thinking she’s ALL that. Sigh… if I’m her, I’ll just throw myself on the wall. By the way, how the hell did she get a new contract? Did she like sleep with someone to do that? If that’s true, I am not surprised.

Wow.  I love how people like to follow trends when hating on people. The girl can sing, no matter how much you people hate.  And what the hell, so what, she said she said some crap about BoA some years ago. I think the girl’s got balls. She’s not willing to sell herself to a fake industry and KUDOS to her for it.  Jeez, you people act like people never talk shit about others.  Just because she blatantly talks rather than subtly hints at things like SNSD or whoever. ANYWAY, yeah, she’s not particular to my taste, but the girl’s talented and has potential, which is WHY her management continues to promote her.

loool why hate her?? she’s a good singer. Better than WG or a lot of korean so-called “talents”...

yes, she is kind of bitchy, but things she said about Boa weren’t that offensive. In the States, artists constantly diss each other, and nobody pays attention to any of that, then why do you guys care about korean pop industry which is on the other side of the planet??

i like korean music, but i could care less what scandals they have there, let alone what artists think about other artists.

Oh, and also, if my roommate had ‘GIRLS ON TOP’ on in her room, I would stab her in the eye too. That song is too annoying. And why does everyone love BoA so much anyway. She’s nothing special. Not bad, but not fantastic either…

She not only said things about BoA, but David Henney, SM Girls in general, and even her own FANS ...not very nice at all.

Her voice itself sounds nice—but the WAY she sings i can’t stand at all. trying way too hard.

I realize that she is completely allowed to have her own opinions - everyone is. I agree that not everyone has to believe BoA is GOD (even if I am a big fan of BoA, but this applies to any situation)- but there is a line between voicing your opinion and just being stupid.
So what if she hates BoA? In Asian cultures especially, respect is a HUGE thing. It doesn’t matter that she hates BoA - she can if she wants to, but in her case she should keep it to herself, or it WILL make a huge dent in her career. Also, since BoA is her senior/elder/sunbae in a country where customs and politenes make up practially all society, she’s pratically bound by culture to show her respect in face even if she doesn’t like BoA.

And BoA in Korea is practically a legend; HUGE all over Asia (even if her popularity is “declining”) and whether or not you want to believe it, hating a celebrity (especially on as big as BoA) will get you a lot of antis. Especially when you’re a rookie in the industry with practically no background and no solid base - and you’re insulting/bashing someone who practically had the country in the palms of her hands at her peak.

In the Korean industry (and Asian music industries in general), the point is to be as scandal-free as possible. If you look at all the popular Korean celebrities these days - a large majority have a completely clean, scandal-free history. BoA’s never had a scandal, neither has Rain, Se7en, Hyori/Hyo-lee (She promotes sexuality, true, but she has the looks to back it up, and it’s not like she actually MADE a sex tape or anything), etc.

Chances are - even if the scandal is long over (years in this case, actually), the older generation, the people that knew of her existence when she debuted, will always remember it. T_T This isn’t America people - where you can practially get away with anything.

And this seems kinda harsh - but she doesn’t exactly ‘fit’ the Korean standard of what’s considered ‘beautiful’. She isn’t sexy, innocent (no duh), or exotic. She looks…cheap. Especially with all that make-up, which doesn’t really suit her. 

Make it big in Korea, Japan, and Asia in general, sell several million records, win a couple dozen prestigious Awards, earn a couple million bucks, THEN say what you want about other artists.

You have a point there, xx.forever. Well, I wrote my comment over 2 months ago now, and lol, since then I actually have grown to really like BoA. I think she’s a great artist and singer. I can acknowledge that she is a huge star in Asia, and her songs are really catchy and nice.

Still though, I’d have to repeat myself - I couldn’t care less if Jessica said bad things about her 4 years ago. BoA is great, Jessica wasn’t right when she said those things, but C’MON PEOPLE, cut her some slack. As if all of you are perfect, and you’ve never made mistakes in your life. I have made worse mistakes, but I can’t imagine that people want to remember that stuff forever, and hate on her. At least, stop saying that in order for someone to say something about someone, you need to achieve the same level as that person, ie earn millions of bucks, sell millions of your album’s copies, tour the workd etc etc. You don’t need that, believe me.

Again, BoA deserves admiration, she worked hard, and she’s a star now. BUT she hasn’t created anything by herself, all she does is follow her company, and her songwriters. I can’t possibly believe that she deserves more respect than, for example, my best friend does (who worked her ass off, and studied so hard to get an international scholarship, and finally was able to study at a University in North America that she could have never even dreamt of). Know what I mean?

As much as I like pop music, I can never take them seriously. Cause what they do is not exactly something amazing.

i knew her personally, and she was a huge bitch. sucks that her career isn’t taking off.. maybe if she were nicer..

I love how ignorant all you fools are, she has an opinion, she stated it, respect or no respect… everyone talks shit about everyone, she’s just foolish for thinking people have nothing better to do but search our weeds.

I like this girl, she has an opinion, and a hell of a lot of courage to get up in front of a country that is so ignorant and despises her so.  Ironic how I can love Korean music, but hate your ties to your out of date respect issues.

You people should be more concerned with how many of your men are freaken gay.
