While BLACKPINK Jisoo’s legal representatives have issued an official statement regarding the controversy surrounding her older brother, netizens remain skeptical.
On April 20, the legal representative for her agency BLISSOO stated that the matters currently being raised are completely unrelated to the artist.
The artist began her trainee life at a young age and lived apart from her family for a long time, so we are in a situation where we are unaware or unable to intervene in the private life of the person in question.

However, netizens raised questions about the content of the statement, due to the fact that the production credits for Jisoo’s recent Netflix series, Boyfriend on Demand, listed her brother as “Management representative Kim Jung Hoon.”
Many demanded clarification on why his name was on the credits list, as they stated they had not been in contact.
On the other hand, others felt this went too far, stating that the victim had also revealed the family was unrelated to the matter and that Jisoo had cut ties with him.
Netizens defended Jisoo, agreeing that she didn’t do anything wrong.

- “The drama was filmed from October 2024 to May 2025, and the incident with her brother was exposed in late May. They stated that the person in question has no legal or managerial connection with BLISSOO. It’s not like Jisoo did anything wrong, and she made it clear she won’t be helping legally or financially in the future. Why is everyone bashing her?”
- “The statement revealed they received help during the agency’s early days and that the filming of the drama overlapped with the establishment of the company. They’ve already cut ties and have drawn a clear line they won’t support financially.”
- “It’s true her brother earned money because of her. It’s disappointing that they released legal action without him showing any signs of an apology..”
Meanwhile, Jisoo’s older brother was arrested on charges of attempting inappropriate physical contact, but the arrest was rejected by the prosecution. Additionally, “B”, who identified herself as the brother’s wife, also came forward claiming to be a victim of domestic violence.
