On October 12, in a post on her personal page, Jessie spoke up about the fan who was assaulted when asking to take a photo with her. Accordingly, the female rapper apologized to the fans and actively coordinated with relevant parties to find the culprit.

“While meeting an acquaintance, a fan, who was also the victim, came to ask to take a photo with me. However, because it was late at night, I politely refused twice. At that moment, he was attacked by a stranger. Because the situation was so unexpected, I was not considerate of the fan,” Jessi said about the incident.

“Regardless of the circumstances, I am sorry that my fans have suffered such injustice. I feel a great responsibility for not taking timely action. After the incident, my management company and I proactively contacted the victim’s family, helping them quickly find the perpetrator and receive an apology and compensation. The perpetrator will be punished appropriately,” she wrote.

In order to limit unnecessary damage, Jessi calls on the audience not to spread unverified information or baseless speculation surrounding the incident.
