Jesse's involvement in assault was not the first time 'Group beating in clubs, same technique as now'
While singer Jessi was involved in a fan assault case, it was revealed that the alleged assault was not the first time.

On JTBC 'Case Team Leader', which aired on the 16th, the informant A's revelation that he was assaulted by Jesse and his party at a club in Itaewon in 2013 was revealed. Mr. A was assaulted by Jesse and his party and was diagnosed with a two-week preposition, and he claimed at the time that Jesse was an accomplice of assault that held his arms and prevented him from moving. However, Jesse insisted on his innocence, saying he only stopped fighting with his friends.

Mr. A said "I met him in the bathroom, and for no reason, I got into a fight and hit him "Jessie and her friends hit me and tried to put their faces in the toilet. If you take away your bag and kneel down and apologize, I will give it to you."



Mr. A, who is Korean-American, stressed that he was assaulted by Jessi and her party about a month before leaving Korea, but was forced to drop the complaint because it was difficult to cancel his flight tickets prepared for reasons such as work.

Mr. A "The suggestion side says that the perpetrator is not (in Korea) because he left the country. It was the same in the past"and " (the perpetrator) is Chinese? It's funny and I've fallen for it."

Jesse was involved in the assault incident early on the 29th of last month. An 18-year-old B, who is a fan of Jessi, met Jessi in an alley and asked her to take a picture, but a man in the group stopped her by swearing in English. Jesse restrained the man and politely rejected B's request, and B also turned around, but another man hit B in the face at that time.



Mr. B said "I'm right, but I didn't take any action"Even in the video, (Jessie) just looked at it. He said, "He's a celebrity I've always liked, but I was very disappointed in that."

In response, Jesse "While I was having a personal meeting with an acquaintance recently, the victim, a fan of mine, asked me for a photo, but I politely refused twice because it was late at night, and at that moment, I was suddenly assaulted by a person I saw for the first time that day."At that time, I was so embarrassed by the sudden situation that I couldn't consider the fan carefully."I apologized."

Afterwards, Jesse visited the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul on the afternoon of the 16th and was investigated as a suspect. Before his attendance, Jesse told reporters, `I really want to find the person who hit me and I want to be punished"He said he saw the perpetrator for the first time on the day.
