On the 23rd, Jessi stated, "First, I would like to apologize to the victims and their families affected by this incident. Although it was an incident caused by me, my wrong actions, attitude, and responses from the time the event occurred until now have hurt many people, including the victims, making them feel betrayed and angry."
Reflecting further, she added, "I have countless regrets. I wish I could go back to that moment. If I had taken a picture with the fan, if I had been more proactive in protecting the victim, if I had gone directly to the police, or if I had properly apologized at the time, none of this would have happened. It's all my responsibility."
She continued, "I understand that my words may not be forgiven easily. However, even now, I will work to correct my mistakes and ensure the victim recovers. It's too late, but I ask for forgiveness once again. This is my fault."

Later, Jessi explained, "While I was having a personal meeting with an acquaintance, a fan approached me for a photo. I politely declined twice because it was late at night, and suddenly, the fan was assaulted by someone I had met for the first time that day. Regardless of the situation, I feel deeply sorry for my fan suffering such unforeseen harm, and I accept moral responsibility," she said in an apology.
However, a photo surfaced showing Jessi ignoring a call from the perpetrator and interacting with the producer, who is an acquaintance of the attacker, sparking suspicions of dishonesty.
Despite issuing a second apology as public criticism mounted, Jessi has not addressed the allegations of lying, leaving the controversy unresolved.
