Jessi's surprise comeback with breaking news of her return to Korea after 8 months on the sidelines of fan assault



Singer Jessi will return after about eight months after controversy over fan assault.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, a short teaser video was released on Jesse's official SNS and YouTube channel.

On the analogue TV screen, a red banner reading "NEWSFLASH" signaled Jessi's comeback date.




Jesse created a strange tension with a message announcing the release of a new song on the date of '2025.06.27'.

Earlier in September last year, a minor fan approached Jesse and asked him to take a photo in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and was assaulted by a man in Jesse's party.

Later, Jesse and his group were seen stopping the perpetrator through CCTV, but Jesse left the scene soon after. In response, Jesse was criticized for neglecting fan assault. Later, the fan filed a complaint against Jesse and four others on charges of assault and other charges.




Jesse insisted that "I don't know the person who hit him", but it was argued that the foreigner A who assaulted him was an acquaintance of a koala producer (real name Heo Jae-won), who was close to Jesse. In addition, suspicions arose that A knew Jessi and became the subject of the investigation.

The police ordered A, who fled the country, asked Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization) to be wanted, and sent a koala producer to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on charges of assault.

Since then, Jesse has continued to self-reflect In February, he met with fans again with a spectacular return stage overseas for the first time in five months.
