• Witness Defends Jessi in Fan Assault Case, Says “She Did Nothing Wrong”

    Jessi is facing accusations for allegedly ignoring an assault on a young fan, but a witness has now come forward to clarify what happened.

    On October 28, Nigerian-American singer Henry, who follows Jessi on social media, shared his account of the incident, identifying himself as a witness seen in a video from that night.

    Henry explained he was meeting Jessi and some friends at a café in Gangnam for the first time, introduced by mutual friends in the music industry. He said there were about 12 people present, many of whom had been drinking, but he and Jessi were sober.

    According to Henry, “A male fan with two friends came up to Jessi for a photo. Jessi was tired and watching over her friend, Koala, who was intoxicated, so she politely said no. But the fan kept asking, ‘Why?’ When we tried to leave, a man we had just met that night suddenly became aggressive. Jessi was scared and anxious; none of us knew this guy, and his behavior was shocking.”

    Henry further explained, “I later learned this man wasn’t even from Korea. Jessi tried to de-escalate the situation, but he was out of control. Jessi called a friend for help, and we left to meet her friend nearby to calm down and talk about what had just happened. When the police arrived, they checked IDs, and the fan clarified that Jessi and I weren’t involved, so the police left.”

    Henry added, “Jessi did nothing wrong. I was there, and I saw it all. She couldn’t control a random, out-of-control man she didn’t know. People need to stop blaming her.”

    The incident reportedly happened in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam, Seoul, on September 29, where a young fan approached Jessi for a photo but was assaulted by another man nearby. Jessi has been criticized for allegedly “ignoring” the situation.

    On October 16, Jessi went to the Gangnam Police Station for questioning, where she denied knowing the assailant, saying, “I hope they find the person responsible soon so he can be brought to justice.”

    She clarified that the man was an acquaintance of her friend and producer Koala, whom she met for the first time that night.

  • Henry’s Own Sister Got Married Without Telling the Family, He Only Found Out in a Group Chat— Here’s Why

    Singer Henry revealed a surprising family story—he found out about his younger sister’s wedding at the last minute through a group chat!

    On March 7, Henry is set to appear on Choi Daniel’s talk show Choi Da Cheese, where he candidly opened up about his family, childhood, and personal thoughts on marriage.

    During the pre-recorded session, he shocked everyone with a story about how his own family was unaware of his sister’s wedding.

    Henry shared, "When I was young, all I thought about was playing the violin and piano. My older brother, younger sister, and I were always surrounded by music, so our house felt like a music academy."

    But then, he dropped a bombshell: "Recently, my sister suddenly sent a photo in our family group chat and announced her wedding. Not only me, but even our mom and dad had no idea. We were all shocked."

    At first, Henry admitted he felt hurt, but after hearing his sister’s explanation, he began to understand. "She told me, ‘I didn’t want to feel stressed while preparing for the wedding. I wanted to do it just for myself.’ After hearing that, I understood her a little more."

    Choi Daniel then teased him, asking, "When are you getting married? Are you going to do it quietly like your sister?"

    Henry immediately shook his head, making everyone laugh, and said, "No way! I want to invite the whole world."

    Henry also revealed a lesser-known side of himself beyond his "musical genius" image.

    He confessed, "People think I’m naturally good, but the truth is, I have to practice three to four times more than others. Even when I stay up all night, I don’t show it."

    The episode will also feature Henry talking about his first meeting with Choi Daniel, his views on marriage, and his journey in music and variety shows.

    Fans can catch his full interview when Choi Da Cheese airs on March 7 at 7 PM KST on YouTube’s M:USB channel.
