BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Faces Accusations Over Brother’s Sexual Assault Scandal, Agency Issues Response

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo is facing backlash over her statement denying ties to her brother, Kim Jung Hun, who was arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a female streamer.

The controversy began when allegations surfaced online that Kim Jung Hun had been arrested for sexual assault. His alleged wife also accused him of domestic abuse and shared photos of bruises. Kim Jung Hun was later identified as Jisoo’s older brother.

On April 20, Jisoo’s agency BLISSOO released a statement through law firm Kim & Chang, claiming the controversy is “entirely unrelated” to her. They said Jisoo has lived independently since her trainee days, has no knowledge of or involvement in her brother’s private life, and has no business, legal, or financial ties with him.

Fans quickly reacted after spotting an inconsistency. The production credits for Jisoo’s recent Netflix series, Boyfriend On Demand, listed Kim Jung Hun as “Management Representative.”

Soon after, the production company responded, confirming the listing was an error and was corrected immediately.

Shortly after the show’s release in early March, we identified an error in the actor management listing in the credits, which was due to a mistake on our part, and we immediately took steps to correct it.

As the situation unfolded, Jisoo’s team emphasized she is not providing any financial or legal support to her brother, has cut off all contact, and has no plans to change that.
