Jessi recently issued a heartfelt apology following an incident where a fan was assaulted by someone in her group. On October 12, she addressed the situation in a statement posted on Instagram, saying, "I sincerely apologize for the concern caused by the recent reports about an assault involving me."

Jessi explained what happened that night: "I was at a private gathering with an acquaintance when a fan approached me and asked for a photo. Since it was late, I politely declined twice. Suddenly, a person I had just met that day, who was nearby, attacked the fan."

The singer expressed her shock at the unexpected situation and admitted she didn’t fully understand the fan’s feelings in that moment. "I regret that my fan had to experience such an unfortunate incident, and I feel a moral responsibility," Jessi said.

Jessi emphasized that both she and her agency have been in contact with the fan’s mother, working to ensure that the assailant apologizes and compensates the victim. "We are making sure the person involved will face appropriate punishment," she continued. Jessi also requested that people avoid spreading rumors or one-sided claims about the incident.

Reflecting on the situation, Jessi shared how upsetting it was to witness such a moment and stressed that the person responsible was not someone she knew well. "It was someone I met for the first time that day, but still, I feel responsible because it happened around me," she said. Jessi’s response shows her commitment to making things right, despite the circumstances being out of her control.

This incident has undoubtedly left Jessi shaken, but she’s taking steps to resolve the matter and ensure that justice is served. Fans have appreciated her openness in addressing the issue and her efforts to support the victim.

TWICE’s Jihyo has made headlines after purchasing a building worth a staggering 4 billion won in her 20s.

On May 2, Herald Economy reported that Jihyo bought a building in Seongdong-gu, Seongsu-dong 2-ga, Seoul, in early March of last year.

By the end of that month, she had completed the full payment and transferred ownership, with no mortgage attached, suggesting that the property was purchased entirely with cash.

Just a month after the purchase, Jihyo registered as a housing rental business operator and completed the registration for private rental housing.

As a housing rental business operator, she is eligible for tax benefits, such as reduced acquisition tax. However, she is also subject to certain regulations, including a 5% cap on rent increases, compliance with rental periods, and mandatory insurance for tenant deposits.

The building, which was built in 1986, has a land area of 152㎡ (45.98 pyeong) and a total floor area of 330.21㎡ (99.89 pyeong). It includes one basement level and three floors above ground.

The property is situated in Seongsu Strategic Redevelopment Zone 2, an area currently undergoing redevelopment.

Given the area's future potential, it is believed that Jihyo's investment is more focused on the property's long-term value rather than immediate rental income.
