BLACKPINK Jisoo¡¯s brother accused of filming sexual encounter, possessing illegal videos of women; BLISSOO issues response

Jisoo, member of global K-pop sensation BLACKPINK, has landed in hot water following serious allegations made against her older brother. The controversy erupted after an anonymous post on the Blind app accused her brother, Mr. Kim, of illegal filming and non-consensual sharing of explicit content. Though Jisoo herself is not involved in the accusations, her name quickly became entangled in the discourse due to her brother¡¯s public connection to her and the mounting scrutiny over how her agency, BLISSOO, will handle the situation.

The timing has drawn attention too, as Jisoo, along with Jennie, Ros¨¦ and Lisa, is preparing for BLACKPINK's comeback. Despite having no role in her brother¡¯s alleged actions, many online users have begun wondering whether the controversy could impact her upcoming projects.

Anonymous post accuses Jisoo¡¯s brother of illegal filming

The controversy began when a user posted on Blind, an anonymous South Korean community for office workers, alleging that Mr. Kim filmed their sexual encounter without consent. As reported by Maeil Business Newspaper, in the post, the user only discovered the existence of the video later, and further claimed that Mr. Kim had shown the video to people he knew. The post also suggested that Kim might be in possession of similar videos involving other women. The original poster did not reveal their identity but claimed they were considering legal action.

Jisoo¡¯s brother denies allegations, calls them ¡®completely false¡¯

Shortly after the Blind post began circulating, Mr. Kim issued a firm denial. In a statement shared through media outlets, including Ilgan Sports and Daily Sports, he stated, ¡°The rumours about hidden camera filming are completely groundless.¡± He further announced that he is currently consulting with a law firm and preparing to file a defamation lawsuit against the accuser.

¡°I am already in contact with legal counsel and will be pursuing strong action,¡± he said, emphasising that the allegations are fabricated and damaging not only to his reputation but also to his family.

As the controversy grew, Jisoo¡¯s agency BLISSOO issued a short response to Korean media, saying, ¡°We are currently verifying the facts.¡± The agency, founded by Jisoo after her departure from YG Entertainment, has not released any further details or commented on how this situation may affect Jisoo¡¯s upcoming promotions.

BLISSOO has previously pledged to take strong legal action against false rumors and online harassment, though it remains unclear whether they will become further involved in this specific case.
