Singer Jessi has gained traction ever since a teenage fan came forward to accuse her of a lack of responsibility for her friends’ actions.
Jessi faces alleged assault from a teenage fan who approached her
The young fan had been attacked by someone who had been with Jessi and her friends. Jessi was seen leaving the scene as the fight escalated. He later said he did not know the attacker.
While some did not see what she had done as wrong, others denigrated her for her lack of responsibility towards the issue. The latter felt that she should not have left the scene, nor could she have tried more actively to stop her acquaintances.
On October 23, 2024, Jessi uploaded an Instagram story in response to a comment she had received.
The best news would be happy news where she ate pills and committed suicide, so I’ll preface that.

Jessi appeared to be affected as she simply begged for the hate to stop. Over the past week, many have denounced the treatment he has received over the controversy. Not only did she part ways with her agency almost immediately after the controversy broke out, but she also faced questioning over the identity of the attacker.
A female celebrity was blamed, questioned by police for hours, demonized in Korea, abandoned by her sponsors, all because two men got into an argument and she tried to stop it.
What’s wrong with Korea sometimes, bro? Jessi doesn’t deserve all this hate. https://t.co/GU1SS2YH6Q
