Producer Jessie's fan assault. Was it a Korean gang in L.A...'Huge tattoo on both arms, gangster underdog's inscription'
Singer Jessi (Korean name Ho Hyun-joo) apologized for the incident in which her party assaulted a fan, raising suspicions that Jessi's party producer could be a Korean gang.

On the 14th, a victim of the assault on fans of Jessi's party appeared on JTBC 'Case Team Leader' and expressed his position on Jessi's apology.

The head of the case team said "The victim, who was a minor at the time, saw Jesse on the street in Gangnam and asked for a photo, and was about to go back because he was rejected, but suddenly, a group of men next to Jesse punched him in the stomach and pushed his head in."There was a case where the perpetrator next to him hit a fan in the face"The CCTV was released once again at the time.

In the released CCTV, an 18-year-old victim approached Jesse, who was sitting on the street with his group, and asked for a photo, and when he was rejected, there was a man who approached him threatening the victim. Jesse grabbed his arm and stopped him, and the moment another man approached the victim to hit him in the face, Jesse also approached him to grab his arm. However, the perpetrator has already started hitting the victim, and Jesse is seen falling back.

Regarding Jesse and his party, the "Case Leader" side said, "The man who first shaved his head was Jessi's producer and also worked as a rapper under the activity name "Koala"." They participated in producing albums from Jesse's 'What X' to 'Cold Blood' and 'Nunnana'," he said.

'The incident team leader' spoke with the victim and the victim's mother.

The victim's mother said, "'I read the apology and only made a self-excuse, and it's not 'one of the same' and ' (the perpetrator) suddenly appeared' This doesn't make sense. When my child saw it, he was next to me. "As soon as I saw the perpetrator, I got up and tried to catch him, but I missed it, and I was looking at him even when I hit him. 'I don't know. I'm angry to hear that all of a sudden appeared and hit him. He vented, "How can you take such an action when you are not an acquaintance?"

The victim also did not seem to have written it himself, starting with the fact that he wrote ' moral responsibility' in the apology. So I couldn't feel the sincerity", he pointed out.

Then "At first, (the koala producer) punched me twice in the stomach when he came to me, and then kept pushing me to my head. I kept putting my head in. It was like a gang gesture to stick your head in even though you were avoiding" and "Friends around me were told 'Gang' at the time of the assault. I searched because my walking and body movements are not common, but I think it's a Korean gang" insisted.

Quoting another informant, the case leader pointed out that "K' on the right arm of the koala and 'OS' on the left arm, which stands for 'Korean Outlaws', one of the Korean gangs in LA."

In response, Jesse said "Koala producer has worked with Jesse several times on music, but Jesse has no connection to the gang. I don't even know that koala producers are gangs" he drew the line.

Earlier on the 11th, a report was released on JTBC 'Case Team Leader' saying 'Fan who requested a photo from singer Jessi and was assaulted by the group'.

Early on the 29th of last month, Jesse's fan, 18-year-old A, saw Jesse in an alley on his way to the convenience store. Then, I asked Jesse if he could take a picture of me, and at that time, a man in the group stopped A by swearing in English. Jesse restrained the man and politely refused, saying "I'm sorry", and A also backed down, saying "I'm sorry", but another man claimed to hit A in the face at that time.

Mr. A "It's a person, but he didn't take any action. I don't know if he ran away because he didn't want to get involved, but I'm very disappointed (with Jessie). Even if I watch it on video, I just watch it. He added, "He's my favorite celebrity, but I'm very disappointed about that." The victim also claimed that both the perpetrator and Jesse disappeared from the scene while waiting for the police after reporting to the police.

The informant's mother visited Jesse's agency on the day of the incident, and the agency explained that the perpetrator was a Chinese acquaintance of a producer close to Jesse. Police said they have yet to find the man who committed the crime due to his identity.

The police asked the producer, the male acquaintance of the perpetrator, to attend in order to identify the perpetrator. The producer is scheduled to appear before the police next week.

Afterwards, on the following day, the 12th "I sincerely apologize for causing concern to many people due to the recent report on an assault case involving me," he bowed his head.

Then "I politely refused twice (the victim's request), and at that moment, I was suddenly assaulted by a person I saw for the first time that day."I was so embarrassed by the sudden situation that I couldn't take care of the fan carefully. " he explained.

An official at the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul who was in charge of the case said on the 14th, `We are considering calling those who were at the scene in turn including Jessi,' adding, `We will investigate thoroughly and strictly as it is an assault case against our own people.'" he said.
