Jessi issues a statement of apology for her fan's assault incident

AKP STAFF

Singer Jessi has issued an official statement of apology for the recent assault incident involving a male fan. 

On October 12 KST, Jessi stated via Instagram,

"Hello, this is Jessi.
First and foremost, I sincerely apologize for causing many people concerns with the recent assault reports.
Recently, during a private gathering with acquaintances, a fan requested a photo. However, because it was late at night, I politely declined twice. At that moment, a nearby individual whom I had seen that night for the first time suddenly assaulted the fan. Because I also was too shocked by the sudden turn of events, I was not able to show my consideration toward the fan. 
Irrespective of the exact details of the incident, I express immense regret that the victim suffered from such an act of injustice, and I feel morally responsible. Soon after the incident, my label and I contacted the mother of the victim, and we are currently working to ensure that the victim finds the culprit and receives a proper apology and due compensation, and that the victim faces proper punishment.
We earnestly ask that you refrain from seeing this incident through a one-sided lens and from publishing reports based on suspicions."

Previously on October 11 KST, JTBC's 'Crime Chief' reported that an 18-year old male fan, 'A', was assaulted by one of Jessi's acquaintances after he asked the star for a photograph.
