• Jessi Apologizes for Assault Incident Involving a Fan: “It Was Someone I Just Met”

    Jessi recently issued a heartfelt apology following an incident where a fan was assaulted by someone in her group. On October 12, she addressed the situation in a statement posted on Instagram, saying, "I sincerely apologize for the concern caused by the recent reports about an assault involving me."

    Jessi explained what happened that night: "I was at a private gathering with an acquaintance when a fan approached me and asked for a photo. Since it was late, I politely declined twice. Suddenly, a person I had just met that day, who was nearby, attacked the fan."

    The singer expressed her shock at the unexpected situation and admitted she didn’t fully understand the fan’s feelings in that moment. "I regret that my fan had to experience such an unfortunate incident, and I feel a moral responsibility," Jessi said.

    Reflecting on the situation, Jessi shared how upsetting it was to witness such a moment and stressed that the person responsible was not someone she knew well. "It was someone I met for the first time that day, but still, I feel responsible because it happened around me," she said. Jessi’s response shows her commitment to making things right, despite the circumstances being out of her control.

    This incident has undoubtedly left Jessi shaken, but she’s taking steps to resolve the matter and ensure that justice is served. Fans have appreciated her openness in addressing the issue and her efforts to support the victim.
