The incident occurred on September 28, KST, at Gangnam, Seoul, when an underaged fan approached Jessi for a picture and was assaulted by a man believed to be the singer’s acquaintance. CCTV cameras captured the incident, and JTBC released footage to the public. While Jessi appeared to step in briefly to stop the incident before leaving, many criticized her for neglecting responsibility in that situation since it was related to her.

Still, fans defended Jessi, since it was revealed that the man who assaulted the minor fan was practically a stranger to her. Singer ØHENRY, who was also there that night, came forward as a witness and emphasized her innocence.

Recently, Jessi has been cleared of charges. The investigation could not find any plausible evidence of Jessi’s involvement in the assault. The police found no evidence of her threatening the victim or aiding the suspect’s escape.

Netizens are calling out JTBC for deceptively editing the footage to make Jessi look bad. They are urging JTBC to apologize.
