Rapper Jessi was seen arriving at the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul on October 16 for an investigation related to an assault case involving one of her fans. The incident, which occurred on September 29, has stirred up controversy after CCTV footage showed a member of Jessi’s entourage assaulting a fan.

The Incident: What Happened?

On the early morning of September 29, a minor fan approached Jessi and her group in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam, asking for a photo with the star. The fan was reportedly assaulted by a man, referred to as “A,” who was present near Jessi at the time. CCTV footage revealed that members of Jessi’s entourage tried to intervene and stop the altercation, but the situation escalated quickly. Jessi was seen leaving the scene shortly after the assault, which led to public speculation that she might have ignored the incident.

After the police were notified, Jessi was found at a nearby bar, but “A” was no longer with her. Despite police inquiries, Jessi’s entourage reportedly claimed not to know where “A” had gone. The fan, still recovering from the assault, accused Jessi and three others of involvement, leading to further investigation.

Jessi’s Statement to Reporters

Jessi arrived at the police station around 10:05 PM KST on October 16. Speaking to reporters, she expressed her desire for a thorough investigation. “I hope they find the person who hit him quickly, and that he gets punished. I will speak honestly about everything,” Jessi stated.

When questioned about her familiarity with the assailant, Jessi responded, “I saw him for the first time that day.” Reporters also asked if she had any message for the fan who was assaulted, to which Jessi responded, “I’m really sorry.”

Her lawyer supported her claims, stating, “It’s true she saw the assailant for the first time that day, and we will provide an explanation after the investigation.”

Ongoing Investigation and Public Reaction

The police have been pursuing the case thoroughly. Prior to summoning Jessi, they also questioned “B,” a producer and close associate of Jessi. “B” is reportedly a friend of the assailant, “A,” and has been questioned regarding his involvement in the assault. As the investigation continues, Jessi and her group face accusations of aiding and abetting the assault.

Since the incident, Jessi has publicly apologized, but online reactions remain largely critical of how she handled the situation. Netizens have expressed disappointment in her response, especially with the initial lack of clarity regarding her actions and her association with the assailant.
