BLACKPINK Jisoo’s Response to Brother’s Sexual Assault Scandal Draws Mixed Reactions

BLACKPINK Jisoo is facing backlash after her legal team released a statement distancing her from her brother Kim Jung Hun’s sexual assault case.

The controversy began when Jisoo’s team issued a statement clarifying she has no involvement in the allegations against her brother. This response quickly went viral on TheQoo, sparking mixed reactions from Korean netizens.

Fans quickly reacted with divided opinions. Some agreed the statement was fair since Jisoo appears uninvolved. Others felt the statement should have expressed more regret given the family connection. A few even questioned why people should feel sorry for the BLACKPINK star.

“Seems like there are a lot of people looking for a celebrity to take their stress out on since it’s Monday. Hang in there.”

“But even if she has absolutely zero involvement, her brother may have committed abuse, and there are victims. Is this really the right first response? Shouldn’t the first move at least be a statement saying she had no knowledge of it, that she finds it regrettable, and that she has no connection to it whatsoever?”

“Why are people feeling sorry for Jisoo? And why were they cursing out Han Hyo Joo?”

“If she’s already cut ties with him, that’s enough, just direct the hate at the perpetrator.”

“Unbelievable”

“Wow”

“I’m not even a fan, but is she covering for her brother like Han [Hyo Joo] did?… I genuinely don’t understand why she deserves to be getting this much hate…”

As the situation unfolded, many believe the hate aimed at Jisoo is misplaced if she truly has no ties to her brother’s actions. Others argue a purely legal statement was the wrong first step.
