Singer Jessi sincerely apologized to the assault victim. On the 23rd, Jessi posted a long apology on Instagram, starting with, "I would like to express my apologies to the person who was harmed and their family members due to this incident."
Jessi was embroiled in controversy for allegedly standing by during an assault on a fan by an acquaintance. It was reported that a minor fan was assaulted and she did not take active measures.
She apologized, saying, "My wrong actions, attitude, and non-response hurt many people, including the victim. I made them feel betrayed and angry." She continued, "I regretted it thousands, tens of thousands of times. I wish I could go back to that time," reflecting on each of her actions. "Everything is my responsibility," she repeatedly repented.
Jessi said, "If I had taken a photo with the victim, if I had actively protected them, if I had gone to the police station right away, if I had properly apologized, the victim would not have suffered this much."
Finally, she acknowledged, "I know well that I cannot be forgiven with just one word. Even now, I will rectify my mistakes and make efforts so that the victim can recover," pleading for forgiveness once again.
Meanwhile, on the early morning of the 29th of last month, Jessi held a gathering with acquaintances in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam. Victim A, a fan, recognized Jessi and requested a photo. Jessi declined, saying it was too late.
Suddenly, Jessi's party assaulted A. Jessi tried to stop the male attackers but later left the scene of the assault and rejoined the gathering with others.
The Gangnam Police Station is investigating the assault case. Jessi attended for questioning on the 16th and reportedly explained, "I have no connection with the assailants. They are friends of a Chinese acquaintance of a producer I'm close with."
Meanwhile, due to the aftermath of this incident, Jessi also left her current agency, 'DOD.'
