Jessica is planning a full U.S. debut.

"You know, my first album was mostly recorded in New York too so I just wanted to come back and get into the zone again. I've thought of a concept and sound, but it's really early to tell you. I'm trying to keep it a secret." Jessica says that she's planning multiple collaborations with American artists for record No. 2.
With Love, J was No. 1 on Korea's Gaon Album Chart while entering Billboard's World and Heatseekers Albums charts and hit single "Fly" hit the Top 10 in Korea. But releasing her EP in both Korean and English was the first step in trying to successfully make Jessica a true crossover act—something that won't be easy, since the West has lacked a true Asian pop star over the past few years. Instead of a hindrance, however, Jessica sees an opportunity.
"There's always a first for everything," she says, citing shows like Fresh Off the Boat and actors like Ki Hong Lee (Maze Runner, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) as examples of Hollywood leading the way for more Asian faces in media. "For actors and actresses, I think it's easier. Well, not exactly easier, but they've done it, right? I know there hasn't been an Asian singer yet, but there's a first for everything. I take it as encouragement... I think there were a lot of language barriers in past cases. I was born and raised in San Francisco—crossing over to the U.S. is like coming back home."
