Koala posted a handwritten apology on her account on the 4th. He"would like to sincerely apologize to the victim and his family. I fully understand how you wanted to visit and apologize in person, but you didn't want to face me in person. There was absolutely no reason to go through that, and I am truly reflecting on the pain I gave you. And I also apologize to others who have been directly or indirectly affected by this."
Then "This is definitely my responsibility. He was not the first person to use violence, but he was one of our party, and I played a big part in exacerbating the situation with simple misunderstandings and misjudgment. Things shouldn't have gotten that big, and it's entirely my fault. I accepted the consequences, and I have been living with responsibility ever since," he said.
It was not easy to face this process, but I had time to look back on myself and grow. There are no excuses, no other people to blame. I just have a lesson that I learned. "I thank those who supported me even in difficult times. And to those who are disappointed, I want to tell you that I am listening to your voice and trying to become a better person. The case is officially closed, and I will repay you in better form from now on," he added.
In August last year, a minor fan of Jessi was assaulted by her party after requesting Jessi to take a photo in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The police, who were dispatched after receiving the victim's report, found Jesse's group nearby and asked about the whereabouts of the perpetrator, but Jesse's group said they did not know. Jesse also appeared at the police and said he wanted A's punishment, saying, `I don't know the perpetrator.'
However, a CCTV video showing A and a koala beating the victim in the stomach and raising their heads caused controversy. Furthermore, as Koala worked with Jesse on 'What X', 'Cold Blood', and 'Noon Noon Noonana', controversy arose that Jesse was on the sidelines even after knowing about the fan assault. In response, the presentation explained that "I only worked with KOALA a few times."
However, suspicions have emerged that koalas belong to an American gang. A tattoo inscribed on a koala's arm, 'K', 'OS', means 'Korean Outlaw', one of the Korean gangs in L.A. Again, the presentation maintained that it was not related at all.
Jesse was later cleared of charges of concealing and escaping. However, worsening public opinion is not turning easily.
The koala was sent to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on charges of assault. Mr. A, who fled the country after assaulting a fan with a koala, was wanted through Interpol.

Hello, I'm a koala.
I'm sorry it took a while to tell you this. I wanted to tell you for a long time, but I thought it was right to wait until everything was legally settled and handled properly.
First of all, I would like to sincerely apologize to the victim and his family. I wanted to visit you in person and apologize, but I fully understand how you don't want to face me in person. There was no reason to go through that at all, and I am truly reflecting on the pain I gave you. And I also apologize to others who have been directly or indirectly affected by this. I know I have let many people down, and I take the responsibility seriously.
This is definitely my responsibility. He wasn't the first person to use violence, but he was one of our party, and I played a big part in exacerbating the situation with simple misunderstandings and misjudgment. Things shouldn't have gotten that big, and it's entirely my fault. I accepted the consequences, and I have been living with responsibility ever since.
It wasn't easy to face this process, but that's how much I had time to look back on myself and grow. There are no excuses, no other people to blame. There's just a lesson I've learned. Even now, I'm still trying to be a better person by looking back on myself quietly and seriously.
Thank you to those who supported me even during difficult times. And to those who are disappointed, I want to tell you that I am listening to your voice and trying to become a better person. The case has been officially closed, and I will repay you with a better appearance from now on.
Thank you for reading this.
