Not only did ABC make an official announcement about The Bachelorette cast via press release, but The Bachelorette's official Facebook and Instagram accounts also uploaded the same "Meet the Men" post revealing Jenn's 25 suitors on Monday, June 3.

Jenn already wrapped production of her season of The Bachelorette, which will premiere Monday, July 8 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

The Bachelorette host Jesse Palmer recently teased on Instagram that calling Jenn's The Bachelorette season "crazy" is "an understatement."

Jenn, a Physician Assistant student who currently resides in Miami, FL, originally competed for Joey Graziadei's heart on Season 28 of The Bachelor earlier this year.

Jenn was eliminated right before Joey's Final 4 women's hometown dates, and she was announced as the new The Bachelorette star on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose, which aired in March on ABC.

Jenn and her group of bachelors, who range in age from 24 to 35 years old, began filming their The Bachelorette season at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susana, CA -- not at the usual Bachelor mansion in Malibu -- in late March, shortly after the network had announced a group of 28 men who would potentially be part of the season's cast.

The three men ABC appears to have dropped from the original lineup of potential bachelors are Corbin Caldwell, a 25-year-old from Los Angeles, CA; Hassan Joseph, a 28-year-old from Denver, CO; and Jonathan Hess, a 24-year-old from Oxford, MS.

ABC began its current practice of publicly announcing each The Bachelor and The Bachelorette season's possible cast in 2019 as an apparent attempt to use social media to further vet each suitor's background before filming began.

Beginning in 2020 with Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams' season of The Bachelorette, they also began bringing extra potential bachelors to the season's initial filming location in case anyone tested positive for coronavirus during the quarantine period that occurred before production officially commenced.

Earlier this year, Jenn spoke to Entertainment Tonight about how viewers are "not going to get" a polished version of herself when they tune in and watch The Bachelorette this summer.

"You're not going to get '[Meek] and Perfect Jenn.' You're going to get 'Crazy Jenn,' and that's the beautiful part of it," Jenn boasted of her approach to dating on The Bachelorette.

Jenn said she was going to bring "a fiery energy" and a lot of flirtation to the set, adding how she planned to be unapologetically herself on-camera.

Jenn added how fans are going to see all "the good, the bad, the chaotic and psychotic," and she mentioned how she'd be looking for a confident and playful man who will "ground" her but also be silly and have a cheeky banter with her.

Jenn also told Jesse on After the Final Rose in March that she's "so grateful" and "honored" to be the first Asian-American woman to star on The Bachelorette.

"Growing up, I always wanted to see Asian representation on TV, and I feel like it was really sparse. Any time Asians were in the media, it was to fulfill supporting character roles or to fulfill some sort of stereotype, and I always felt boxed in by that," Jenn shared.
