Soloist Jessi has recently faced significant backlash after a teenage fan accused her of failing to take responsibility during a troubling incident that escalated into violence. Following this controversy, Jessi has publicly expressed her regrets and addressed her fans through social media.

Incident Details and Initial Response

The controversy began when a young fan approached Jessi for a photo during a late-night gathering. After declining the request twice, Jessi was taken by surprise when a physical altercation broke out involving someone she had just met. According to reports, the fan was assaulted by this individual, leading to widespread criticism of Jessi’s actions. Eyewitnesses claimed that she left the scene as the situation escalated.

Initially, Jessi issued a now-deleted post asserting that she had only met the assailant that day. In her statement, she mentioned that she had been in contact with the victim’s family and expressed a sense of responsibility for the incident, despite claiming that she had no prior relationship with the attacker.

In her apology, Jessi stated:

Hello, this is Jessi.

First of all, I sincerely apologize to everyone who may have been disturbed by the reports regarding the recent assault incident involving me.

While I was attending a gathering with personal acquaintances, one of my fans, who became the victim, approached me to ask for a photo. Since it was late at night, I politely declined—twice, and in that moment, an incident occurred where the fan was suddenly assaulted by someone I met for the first time that day. The situation escalated so quickly that I was also caught off guard and unable to properly handle the situation or look after the fan with care.

I deeply regret that my fan had to suffer harm in such an unjust manner, and I feel a great sense of responsibility for my failure to intervene properly. After the incident, both my agency and I have been in contact with the victim’s family and are working hard to help the victim find and bring the perpetrator to justice so they can receive an apology and compensation, and so the perpetrator is held accountable and properly punished.

I kindly request that you refrain from spreading unverified claims or speculative reports related to this incident, as it may cause further harm.

Some have vilified Jessi for her lack of responsibility in the situation that quickly escalated. Some feel that she should not have stepped away from the scene or that she could have tried more actively to stop her acquaintances. A lot has happened in such a short time, as Jessi parted ways with her agency almost immediately after the controversy broke out, and she faced interrogation over the identity of the attacker.

Jessi further acknowledged her sense of responsibility for the incident and committed to working with her agency and the victim’s family to ensure justice is served.

New Statement of Regret

In a subsequent Instagram post, Jessi addressed the controversy directly, emphasizing her remorse over the situation. She expressed her deep regrets regarding how she handled the incident and the impact it had on the victim and his family:

“First of all, I would like to express my apology to the victim and his family who suffered due to this incident. Even though the incident was caused by me, I have hurt a lot of people, including the victim, with my wrong actions, attitude, and lack of response from the time the incident occurred until now.”

She elaborated on her feelings of guilt, lamenting the choices she made at the moment:

“I made them feel betrayed and angry. I regret it a thousand times, and a thousand more. I wish I could go back in time.”

Jessi also acknowledged that her actions contributed to the victim’s suffering, stating:

“All of this is my responsibility. I know I can’t be forgiven with one message. However, I’ll try to correct my mistake and help the victim recover. It’s too late, but I apologize again. I did wrong.”

Reactions from Fans and the Community

Following Jessi’s apology, the reaction among fans has been mixed. While some have criticized her for not intervening more decisively, others have come to her defense, suggesting that she should not bear the full weight of the incident. Many fans expressed their support for Jessi, emphasizing that she should not feel solely responsible for the actions of others.

In the comments section of her post, fans reassured her:

“It’s not your fault, Jessi. You can’t control what others do.”

Jessi has faced intense scrutiny not only for her actions during the incident but also for her subsequent responses. She has indicated that both she and her agency are actively working to ensure justice is served for the victim.
