The legal representative of BLACKPINK member Jisoo has released an official statement regarding the controversy involving her older brother, but some netizens continue to respond with skepticism.
On the 20th, attorney Eun Hyun-ho of Kim & Chang, the legal representative for Jisoo’s agency BLISSOO, issued a statement saying, “The matter currently being raised is completely unrelated to the artist and BLISSOO.” He explained, “The artist began her trainee life at a young age and became independent early, living apart from her family for a long time, making it impossible for her to be aware of or involved in the private life of the individual in question.”
However, some netizens have raised doubts about the contents of this statement.
This is because the production credits of Netflix’s “Monthly Boyfriend,” in which Jisoo appeared, list “Kim Jung-hoon, CEO of Management.” Netizens commented, “His name is still listed as CEO Kim Jung-hoon in the credits, this feels like trying to cover the sky with one’s palm,” and “Please clarify whether this is a different person with the same name. Why make things worse by giving such a vague explanation?” Others also remarked, “Whenever families draw a line, they always say ‘we’ve been independent for so long that we’re basically strangers.’”
On the other hand, some voices cautioned against excessive speculation, saying, “Even the alleged victim said the family is unrelated, and Jisoo has cut ties, people are taking this opportunity to criticize her.”
Meanwhile, a man identified as A, known to be Jisoo’s older brother, was reportedly arrested in the act on the 14th on charges of attempting inappropriate physical contact with a woman, but it is said that the prosecution rejected a request for a detention warrant. Additionally, as a woman identified as B, claiming to be A’s wife, has come forward online alleging domestic violence, the controversy appears to be spreading further.
1. It seems like opinions are divided because the statement about the company’s involvement was written ambiguously. It says she only received help during the initial establishment and operated independently afterward, but to me that sounds like she *only* got help at the very beginning. The company was established in February 2024, and Monthly Boyfriend finished filming in May 2025. So does that whole period count as the “initial stage”? I think that’s why people are split on this
2. Now the man who caused the incident isn’t even the focus anymore, people just want to nitpick so they can attack a female idol, and it’s turned into a huge mess
3. Honestly, I’m not even a Jisoo fan or anything, but putting the core issue aside and just going after a female celebrity like this is exhausting to watch lol. It feels like a lot of people wanted to see Jisoo fail, and now that she probably won’t, they’re getting triggered.
4. Why is Han Hyojoo even being mentioned? Did Jisoo also get all her articles taken down over ridiculous claims like that?
5. They broke ties now, so what’s the problem?
6. As expected, the jealousy toward a young, successful woman is the same on both male-dominated and female-dominated communities ㅋㅋㅋ No need to only criticize one side
7. Did Jisoo defend that person? People are insulting her more than the actual criminal just because they see this as a chance to drag her down.
8. People are talking about “guilt by association”… but isn’t it natural she gets dragged into it too? Then why are Lee Yubi and Han Hyojoo still getting hate? Fans trying to silence criticism is ridiculous
9. Jisoo has clearly drawn a line, and the wrongdoing was committed by her oppa, he’s complete trash and deserves severe punishment. But when you think about the mediaplay, the lawsuits, and where the money for hiring that lawyer might come from, it ends up tying back to Jisoo again
10. Throwing around lawsuits left and right ㅋㅋ hiring Kim & Chang lol ㅋㅋ there should be some limit to trying to silence people. It’s not even that huge of a case
