"I don't want to rush myself, and whenever I get the chance, I want to continue learning," Jessica says.

In "Two Bellmen 3," Jessica stars alongside "The Maze Runner" actor Ki Hong Lee, Korea Times reported. The pair appears as a couple who visit JW Marriott Hotel in Dongdaemun Square, Seoul.

Meanwhile, two bellmen, portrayed by stunt actors William Spencer and Caine Sinclair, are trying to win a tough bellman competition.

The short was made to promote JW Marriott International's various hotel chains around the globe. The previous "Two Bellmen" series were filmed in Los Angeles and Dubai.

Meanwhile, Jessica is slowly emerging as front row staple in Fashion Week. At the Tommy Hilfiger presentation in Los Angeles this month, Jessica was seated on the front row and stood out in the midst of Hollywood stars that included Gigi and Bella Hadid, Jaden and Willow Smith and Lady Gaga.
