Jessi has issued an apology in response to a recent incident. Earlier on September 29, an incident was reported where Jessi’s underage fan, identified as A, requested a photo with Jessi but was met with verbal abuse and physical assault from a person next to Jessi in Gangnam, Seoul. Jessi attempted to stop the assault but soon left the scene.
After the incident, Jessi stated that she did not know the person who committed the assualt. On October 23, Jessi took to her personal Instagram account to share her thoughts: 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. A post shared by JESSI (@jessicah_o).
