Controversy is growing after singer Jessi was found to have contacted the perpetrator after the fan assault incident.

As a result of YTN star coverage today (23rd), Jesse was contacted by A, the perpetrator of the recent fan assault incident, and talked with him. As Jessi explained after the

fan assault incident, Jessi and A saw each other for the first time that day. However, after the incident, A first contacted Jesse online and revealed his identity.

Jesse reportedly stated this in detail at the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul on the 16th.

Earlier on the 29th of last month, a minor fan was assaulted by a man around her after requesting Jesse to take a photo in Apgujeong-dong, Seoul.

Suspicions arose that Jesse had been on the sidelines of the fan's assault damage, and Jesse apologized, saying, "I feel moral responsibility."

Then, it was later revealed that the producer Koala, who was close to Jesse, was also one of the perpetrators, and criticism against him intensified.
