On the 11th, JTBC's "Case Leader" reported that Jessi's fan A had been assaulted by Jessi's group, based on information provided by A. According to A, Jessi was attacked by Jessi's group in an alleyway.
He spotted Jessi and asked her to take a photo, but the man she was with stopped him, and when Jessi apologized, saying "I'm sorry, but no," he tried to run away.
However, another man in the group started punching and assaulting Mr. A. During this process, Jessi left the scene, and Mr. A, who immediately called the police, joined them in attacking the men.
The police went out to search for the man and Jessi's group. The police found Jessi's group at a bar, but they claimed they didn't know who A was. Eventually, A's mother, Ota, contacted Jessi's affiliation office.
When they visited the office, the management office explained that "the assailant is Chinese and does not know Jessi. He is friends with the producer."
After that, Ms. A reported the assailant to the police and expressed her disappointment, claiming that Jessi did not take any action at the time of the accident.
During this process, a controversy arose over Jessi ignoring the assault, to which she directly responded on social media on the 12th.
Jessi recalled the moment she refused Mr. A's request for a photo, saying, "(The victim) was suddenly assaulted by someone I met for the first time that day, who lived nearby.
"At the time, the situation suddenly arose, and I was so flustered that I wasn't able to be considerate and considerate to the fan," he explained.
Regardless of the circumstances, Jessi expressed her intention to take moral responsibility and apologize. She also stated, "The victim will be promptly tracked down and receive an apology and compensation from the perpetrator, and the perpetrator will be given appropriate punishment."
"We are working hard to ensure that the perpetrators are punished," he added. However, some netizens have responded coldly. One netizen said, "When a fan is assaulted,
I am very disappointed that they left the scene immediately after the incident, even if they had reported the incident to the police. However, regarding the assailant who had already left for China, she said, "They were just friends of my acquaintance, but at the time of the incident,
Even if I had properly explained the situation to her, she would have been arrested when she was in Korea. Jessi's management office lawyer said that if A considers the assailant and Jessi to be one group,
"In relation to this case, we respectfully request that you refrain from reporting anything that reflects only one-sided claims or is speculative," Jessi said.
