K-pop artist Jessi has been cleared of any involvement in the September assault of a fan, with authorities concluding their investigation without forwarding charges against her.
Details of the Incident
The incident in question took place in the early hours of September 29, around 3:50 AM KST. A fan of Jessi, referred to as ‘B’, was allegedly assaulted by a male individual, known as ‘A’, who was part of Jessi’s group that night. Reports indicate that other members of Jessi’s party, including the artist herself, intervened to prevent the situation from escalating further. Jessi reportedly prevented producer Koala, another individual in the group, from approaching the injured fan, ‘B.’
Following the incident, authorities received accusations against Jessi, ‘A,’ and producer Koala, with claims including threatening behavior, assault, concealment of the perpetrator, and aiding ‘A’ in evading investigation.
Police Investigation and Findings
The police began their inquiry by summoning Jessi for questioning on October 16. After thoroughly evaluating the evidence, officials concluded there was insufficient proof to support the allegations against her. According to the police, there was “little evidence to indicate that Jessi participated in the assault or in threatening the victim, nor did she make any attempts to assist the perpetrator dodge the investigation.” With these findings, charges against Jessi were dropped.
Outcome for Producer Koala
While Jessi has been cleared, producer Koala faces potential legal repercussions. Authorities plan to forward him to prosecution with charges for assault and threatening. Details regarding the specific consequences or timeline of these charges have not yet been disclosed.
Jessi’s Response to the Incident
Representatives for Jessi have expressed hopes for a swift and peaceful resolution, emphasizing their wishes for ‘B’s recovery.
