[Full text] Singer Jessi apologizes for random assault by a group of fans, ”The perpetrators were people I'd never met before”... ”I feel morally responsible”

Singer Jessi spoke out about the "Case Leader" reports. On the 12th, Jessi said, "First of all, I would like to sincerely apologize for the concern that has been caused to many people by the recent reports of an assault case involving me.
"I recently had a private gathering with some acquaintances, and the victim, who is a fan of mine, asked me for a photo, but since it was late at night, I politely declined twice, and
At that moment, I was suddenly assaulted by someone I had met for the first time that day who was nearby," he said. "I was so flustered by the sudden situation that I wasn't able to show the fan the utmost consideration."
Jessi explained the situation at the time, saying, "I feel very sorry and morally responsible that my fans have suffered such unexpected damage, regardless of the circumstances."
After this incident occurred, I and our management office contacted the victim's mother and have been working to quickly locate the perpetrator so that the victim can receive an apology and compensation, and that the perpetrator can receive appropriate punishment.
"We are making efforts to improve the situation," he said. "We respectfully ask that you refrain from reporting on this case in a way that reflects only one-sided claims or is based on speculation."
On the 11th, JTBC's "Case Leader" aired a story about a man who had asked Jessi for a photo in Apgujeong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the early morning of the 29th of last month.
The victim said, "I'm such a big fan of Jessi that I went to take a photo with her, but when I couldn't get her, she said she was sorry and I was sorry too."
"I tried to go, but someone punched me in the face," he said. "I don't know if they ran away because they didn't want to get involved when someone got punched without doing anything special, but I'm disappointed."
According to the "incident leader," the victim filed a police report, claiming that both the male assailant and Jessi's group had disappeared from the scene.
In response, Jessi's management office lawyer said, "This has nothing to do with Jessi.
The assailant and Jessi did not know each other and met for the first time that day.
"She is a friend of the producer. Therefore, I don't consider Jessi and the perpetrator to be one group," he said. "If the victim considers the perpetrator and Jessi to be one group, then it would be morally wrong.
The management office also said, "As the assault was clear, we hope that the perpetrators are identified and that they are given appropriate punishment."
Meanwhile, Jessi recently sang the OST "Boomerang" for SBS's Fri-Sat TV series "My Devilish Girlfriend is a Judge."
