Police have cleared rapper Jessi of charges on Thursday regarding her involvement in an assault on a fan who requested her for a photo.

The Seoul Gangnam Police Precinct announced that it is dropping the case against Jessi, citing insufficient evidence. The police have issued an international arrest warrant for the Taiwanese national who was directly involved in the assault.

JTBC reported on Oct. 11 that an 18-year-old fan had requested a photo from Jessi on Sept. 29. When Jessi declined, a man believed to be part of her group struck the fan in the face.

"Jessi expresses deep regret for the distress caused to the victim and is truly sorry for the incident," Jessi's attorney told SBS on Thursday. "As confirmed during the police investigation, Jessi did not assist the perpetrator in fleeing the scene nor was she acquainted with the individual prior to the event."

Among Jessi's entourage, producer Koala was indicted on assault charges and referred to the prosecution.

When questioned by the police, Jessi stated that she did not know the assailant and that this was the first time she had met him. The Taiwanese perpetrator left Korea three days after the incident, according to the police.

The victim filed a lawsuit against Jessi and three others involved in the incident and a netizen filed a legal complaint against Jessi for harboring and aiding the escape of the perpetrator.

Jessi issued two apologies on her Instagram in October, pledging to rectify the situation.

I feel like I’d have a different perspective on this if the victims’s side didn’t sound a bit opportunistic. I would be curious to see what Kaola and Jessi say, as the interaction still makes very little sense to me. :poggers:

I’m on your side

Like, if i was assaulted on the street the first person I would go after is the person who assaulted me. The fact that instead of going to the police to get the assailant arrested they went to Jessi’s company for cash from her has me like 🤨

Exactly. It feels like their main goal was to push Jessi into a corner which is so odd given the circumstances. I really want to see this investigation. Not to defend violence but the order of events just don't make sense to me.

People keep pushing that it is still Jessi's fault because she didn't grab Koala and turn him in??

It is something I find really annoying about celebs in general but especially Korean celebrities. If the public does not like a person, people will scrape the absolute bottom of the barrel to pin it on that person.

So little attention is placed on Koala, you'd think Jessi suplexed the victim.
