BLACKPINK member Jisoo’s agency has firmly distanced itself from her older brother amid allegations of sexual misconduct, but suspicions linger as traces linking him to her projects disappear.
Sexual Harassment Probe Involves Streamer
Gangnam police prosecuted a male streamer identified as Mr. A on April 15 for proxy sexual harassment. Authorities charged him after he allegedly made inappropriate sexual comments toward a female broadcaster (BJ) during a live stream.
Following the incident, the individual known as ‘Haedang Inmul’ contacted Jisoo’s agency to discuss potential connections to the case. On April 20, the agency issued a public statement declaring, “Regarding Haedang Inmul’s incident, we have no involvement or related circumstances.”
Netflix Credits Spark Controversy
Scrutiny intensified when Jisoo’s name surfaced in the credits of the Netflix original series Boyfriend on Demand (월간남친). Initially listed as the model under her brother Kim Jung-hoon’s name, the credit was abruptly changed to ‘Blisoo Entertainment.’ The site now displays only the agency name.
This alteration followed the agency’s denial, fueling online speculation about efforts to erase links. Public sentiment has shifted, with many questioning the timing.
Netizens and Insiders React
Online users expressed doubt, noting, “The name was clearly listed in the statement and credits—it’s no slip-up,” and “Proper clarification from related parties is needed.” Insiders claim internal awareness of the facts but emphasize the need for official explanations.
Additional digital footprints reportedly show Kim Jung-hoon’s direct involvement with Haedang Inmul. Mr. A remains in custody as the primary suspect.
Jisoo Continues Schedule
Jisoo attended a Paris fashion collaboration event on April 22 as planned. She debuted with BLACKPINK in 2016 and has since expanded into acting.
