Rapper Koala(Heo Jae-won)has posted an apology regarding allegations that he assaulted a fan of singer Jessi.

On the 4th, Koala opened up on her SNS by saying, “I’m sorry it took so long for me to tell you this.I’ve wanted to tell you this for a long time, but I thought it was right to wait until everything was legally resolved and properly handled.”

He continued, “I would like to sincerely apologize to the victim and his family.I wanted to go and apologize in person, but I fully understand that they do not want to face me in person.” He apologized to the bereaved family, saying, “There was absolutely no reason for them to go through that, and I sincerely reflect on the pain I caused them.”

Koala also revealed his feelings of self-reflection, saying, “This incident is clearly my responsibility.He was not the first person to commit violence, but he was one of our group, and I played a big role in making the situation worse due to a simple misunderstanding and poor judgment.I accepted the consequences, and I have been living with that responsibility ever since.”

Finally, he concluded his post by saying, “I am quietly and seriously reflecting on myself and trying to become a better person.The case is officially closed, and I will repay you with a better image in the future.”

Meanwhile, in September of last year, Jessi was involved in a street fight with an acquaintance in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and became the subject of gossip.At the time, Jessi was asked to take a photo by fan A, but she refused, and in the process, a man in Jessi’s group assaulted the fan.Mr.A filed a complaint with the police against Jessi and four others, including her group, for assault.After the incident, Jessi stated during the police investigation that the assailant was “someone I’ve never seen before.”

However, the controversy grew after CCTV footage released later showed a koala assaulting Mr.A.

Jessie was later investigated by the police on charges of intimidation, concealment of a criminal, and escape, but was not prosecuted, while Koala was sent to the prosecution on charges of assault.

Hello, I am Koala.

I apologize for taking so long to get to you.I’ve been meaning to tell you this for a long time, but I felt it was right to wait until everything was legally resolved and properly handled.

First, I would like to sincerely apologize to the victim and his family.I wanted to go and apologize in person, but I fully understand that you do not want to face me in person.There was absolutely no reason for you to go through this, and I sincerely reflect on the pain I have caused you.And I also apologize to others who have been directly or indirectly affected by this incident.I know that I have disappointed many people, and I take that responsibility very seriously.

This is definitely my fault.He wasn’t the first one to commit violence, but he was one of our group, and I played a big role in making the situation worse by simple misunderstanding and poor judgment.It shouldn’t have gotten that bad, and it’s completely my fault.I accepted the consequences and have been living with that responsibility ever since.

It wasn’t easy to face this process, but it gave me time to reflect on myself and grow.I don’t make excuses or blame others.I just have lessons learned.Even now, I’m quietly and seriously reflecting on myself and trying to become a better person.

I want to thank those who supported me during the difficult times.And to those who were disappointed, I want to tell you that I hear your voices and that I am trying to become a better person.The case is officially closed, and I will repay you with a better image in the future.
