Singer Jessi has announced a comeback. It is a surprise comeback in the true sense, as it marks the first since the controversy over her alleged inaction during fan violence.
On the 23rd, Jessi released a teaser video featuring a red banner reading 'NEWSFLASH' through her official social media account and YouTube channel.
The video features an analog TV display with the red banner reading 'NEWSFLASH' and the phrase 'JESSI 2025.06.27.' Jessi has formalized her comeback by revealing the teaser in a retro video aesthetic and news bulletin format, along with a short melody that hints at the concept of her new song.
Jessi's comeback is the first since the controversy over her alleged inaction during fan violence in October of last year. After being accused of witnessing her group assaulting a fan and doing nothing, Jessi appeared at a police station to be questioned as a defendant regarding the assault allegations.
At that time, Jessi stated that she does not know the assailant. However, as it was revealed that she had known some of the assailants beforehand, she faced criticism. In response, Jessi released an apology expressing her desire to 'wish she could go back to that time.'
Subsequently, Jessi's exclusive contract with her agency DOD Entertainment was terminated. The police dismissed allegations against Jessi concerning concealing and fleeing the criminal, but Jessi stopped her domestic activities and focused on overseas activities.
