There are ongoing suspicions that Jessi (Jessica Hyun-joo Ho, 35)'s statements are lies.
Jessi released statements that the perpetrator who assaulted her teen fan was Chinese and a "stranger" however the claims are false. This is because the Korean-American fan who was assaulted by Jessi's group in Itaewon stated that Jessi's side told her that the perpetrator had left the country and was no longer in Korea. In addition, a picture of Jessi with the producer in question who Jessi claimed "only worked on music a few times together" has also been released drawing attention.
On the 19th, producer Koala's identity was exposed on social media as the person that threatened and punched the victim in the stomach. A past photo of him and Jessi being affectionate is also going viral. Koala is someone who worked on Jessi's "What Type of X," "Cold Blooded," and "Nunnu Nana."
The leaked photo shows Jessi and Koala posing side by side as he kisses her hair. In another photo, Koala is carrying Jessi on his back smiling brightly while looking at each other.
On the 29th of last month, an incident occurred in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, where a minor fan was assaulted by Jessi's group after asking for a picture. When the fan asked for a picture, a male member of the group stopped her, punched her in the stomach, and threatened her. The incident was captured on CCTV and leaked publicly. Afterwards, another man approached the victim and swung his fist. Jessi tried to grab the man's arm but the assailant had already started hitting the victim. Jessi was then seen leaving the scene without stopping him causing controversy.
Afterwards, the assailant was assumed to be Koala and on the 11th, police summoned him as a defendant for questioning. Police reportedly asked Jessi and her group about the assailant's whereabouts, but they said, "I don't know." Jessi's side told police, "We have nothing to do with the perpetrator. He is a Chinese friend of a producer she's close friends with."
Jessi's lawyer told JTBC's 'Crime Chief,' "Koala only worked with Jessi on music a few times. Regarding suspicions that the tattoo on his arm indicates he's affiliated with an American gang, Koala has zero knowledge of being in some gang or any gang ties and he's not involved with Jessi."
Jessi and 4 others were sued by the victim for assault etc. and were booked. Jessi was also accused by a netizen of hiding the perpetrator and fleeing the scene. Jessi was questioned at the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul on the 16th in relation to the incident. She stated, "I hope they find the person that hit her quickly. I hope they get punished." She also told police that "the perpetrator is a Chinese friend of a close producer (Koala). We met for the first time on the day of the incident."
However, a Korean-American who claimed to have experienced a similar incident in 2013 criticized the crime scene head and stated, "The prosecution says the perpetrator left the country and is no longer in Korea but this is how it was in the past too. He's a Chinese? That's ridiculous. If there had been no CCTV she would've denied involvement this time too."
- [+6,594, -40] Jessi-ya, so you were an iljin group leader in the past and led the assaults.. you were really a yangachi. Your fans abandoned you after seeing the assault a few days ago and the one ten years ago. I hate you for leaving the scene of your fan getting assaulted out of fear. If you had just taken a picture for the fan you would've avoided your iljin group's assault and you would've been praised as a hero but this things turned out like this because of your dirty and miserable character. Were you drugged up? drinking? Is that why? You were really dating the assailant.. Is it because you're an American and the gangster assailant is Chinese? Well, the victim is Korean. The only answer is permanent exclusion from the broadcasting and entertainment industry. Pay the price and f*ck off to your America now! This idiotic dirty act is truly disgusting!
- [+5,108, -232] Yoo Jae-suk, let's stop talking about Jessi, that two-faced grasshopper looking b*tch
- [+1,609, -14] He really fell for her
- [+1,225, -13] She's just another neighborhood thug
- [+1,059, -25] Jessi-ssi, you won't go far. F*ck off to America and live well.
- [+523, -7] Looks like they are lovers?? Come to think of it, he probably overreacted like that because he's her boyfriend.. he probably thought 'she's being rude to my girlfriend'. it's totally possible.
- [+521, -60] Isn't Yoo Jae-suk the one who gave Jessi her name? He's problematic too and has a terrible eye for people. How could he choose someone like that out of all people? In the end, she turned Yoo Jae-suk into a worthless person too.. all the love from the viewers is all smoke
- [+434, -4] Congrats on becoming a female Yoo Seung-jun.. looks like it's going to be hard to enter the country in the future ~
- [+416, -13] Jessi was someone that Yoo Jae-suk cherished and loved the most.. he invited her to a lot of broadcasts and let her stand out..
- [+308, -1] The issue is here are the broadcasts that gave wings to a shallow American prostitute. She didn't just waste airtime but abused it. Broadcasting really needs to be reformed. They keep gossiping about celebs and showing off their kids, houses, and cars.. ugh idiots who are crazy are also the issue. What do you think would be in the head of someone who hasn't read a single line from a book in over 10 years? All they know and can show are provocative impulsive acts. This is why our broadcasting has become so low-quality.
- [+298, -3] Please.. deport these black haired Americans!! If they make money in our country they'll show off speaking their English and do bad things.. deportation is the only answer! Kick them out and make sure they never come back!
- [+201, -2] Ban her entry like Yoo Seung-jun!
- [+169, -3] A woman with chicken poop lips.. ㅋㅋ
- [+156, -8] With that level of skinship they must've exchanged liquids right? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- [+77, -1] She's got a face like an old hag. I thought she was unlucky and felt pity when she first came out with Yoo Jae-suk but she's got a voice and neck like a chicken.. cut ties!
- [+47, -1] They match well together.. dirty and cheap ~
