Jessi Issues Apology Following Recent Incident

Korean-American rapper and singer Jessi has publicly apologized following an incident involving a young fan in Gangnam , Seoul. The controversy erupted after an underage fan, known as "A," was reportedly verbally abused and physically assaulted by someone standing near Jessi on September 29. Jessi tried to intervene but eventually left the scene. She later claimed she didn’t know the assailant.

On October 23, Jessi took to Instagram to express her remorse and take responsibility. In her post, she deeply apologized to the victim and their family, acknowledging her failure to properly handle the situation. Jessi admitted that her inaction had hurt many, including the victim, and she regretted not doing more to protect the fan. She stated:

"This is Jessi. First, I want to sincerely apologize to the victim and their family affected by this incident. Even though I caused this situation, my inappropriate behavior, attitude, and failure to respond have harmed many, including the victim. I have made them feel betrayed and angry.

I regretted this tens of thousands of times. I wish I could turn back time. If I had taken a photo with the victim, done more to protect the victim, gone straight to the police, or offered a proper apology, the victim would not have suffered so much. I take full responsibility for this.

I know I cannot be forgiven with just these words. However, I am committed to correcting my mistakes and helping the victim recover, even if it’s late. Once again, I apologize, even if it is too late. I was wrong. From Jessi."
