"RAP:PUBLIC" To Edit Out Rapper KOALA's Footage Following His Involvement In Assault Of Jessi's Fan

Producer-rapper KOALA will be edited out of the TVING show “RAP:PUBLIC” following his involvement in a recent incident.

On October 25, a representative of “RAP:PUBLIC” stated, “From episode 4 onwards, the footage involving KOALA has been edited out. Future episodes will also be edited accordingly.”

“RAP:PUBLIC” is a hip hop survival show where contestants engage in strategic survival competitions using rap as their weapon. KOALA has been appearing as a member of the 6Block team on the show.

Earlier on September 29, an incident was reported where Jessi’s underage fan, identified as A, requested a photo with Jessi but was met with verbal abuse and physical assault from a person next to Jessi in Gangnam, Seoul. Jessi attempted to stop the assault but soon left the scene. After the incident, Jessi stated that she did not know the person who committed the assualt.

Later, CCTV footage from the incident was released, revealing that KOALA was another assailant who was first to threaten the fan by pushing their stomach and shoving them with his head.

KOALA participated in the production of several of Jessi’s songs including “What Type of X,” “Cold Blooded,” and “NUNU NANA.”
