Their story
Jessica H.O.
Jessica Hyunju Ho was born in New York, grew up in New Jersey and moved to Seoul at 15. On 1 December 2005 she released her first single album, Get Up, under the name Jessica H.O., and a second, The Rebirth, followed in 2009. In 2014 she joined J'Kyun and J-Yo in the trio Lucky J at YMC Entertainment.
Unpretty Rapstar
The turn came in 2015, when she finished runner-up on the first season of Mnet's rap competition Unpretty Rapstar. The single "Ssenunni" came out that September, and in July 2017 she released her first mini album, Un2verse, with "Gucci" as its title track.
P NATION
In January 2019 she became the first artist signed to PSY's new label, P NATION. Her highest-charting solo single came the next summer: "Nunu Nana", the hip hop dance title track of the mini album Nuna, with Lee Hyori in the video. It became her first video to pass 100 million views and later 200 million. That autumn she joined Lee Hyori, Uhm Jung-hwa and Hwasa in Refund Sisters, and in January 2021 she was named Best Solo Artist at the Golden Disc Awards. "Zoom" in April 2022 reached 100 million views faster than any of her earlier videos. She left P NATION that July and released "Gum" in 2023 with Jay Park's MORE VISION.
Where she is now
In June 2025 her own label, UNNI Company, put out its first release, with the international distributor BMG as partner: "Newsflash", with the New York rapper Jadakiss in the video. On 12 November 2025 she followed it with P.M.S., short for "Pretty Mood Swings", her first EP in five years. She took part in writing and composing all five tracks, and "Girls Like Me" led the EP.
