Recently, an incident occurred where a minor fan who asked to take a photo with Jesse was assaulted by his group. Victim A approached Jessie in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul in the early morning of the 29th of last month and asked to take a photo, but was refused. In response, Mr. A tried to turn away, but Mr. B, a man around Jesse, suddenly assaulted him. At first, Jessie tried to stop Mr. B’s actions, but he just watched and left.

Mr. A filed a complaint against four people, including Jessie and the producer, and Jessie appeared at the police on the 16th as a defendant. Jessie claimed to not know the person who assaulted Mr. A and said, “I hope the person who hit me is found quickly and punished. “I will tell it like it is,” he told reporters.

Meanwhile, Jessie signed a label and management contract with D.O.D in September and established the independent label UNNI to begin independent activities.
