BLACKPINK member Jisoo drew a clear line regarding the recent controversy surrounding her alleged older brother, stating, "It is unrelated to me."

Eun Hyun-ho, a lawyer at Kim & Chang Law Offices representing Jisoo's agency, BLS, issued a statement on the 20th, clarifying that "the matter currently being raised is entirely unrelated to Jisoo and BLS."

Recently, news emerged that a man identified as A, a family member of a popular girl group member, was arrested on the spot for allegedly attempting inappropriate physical contact with a female BJ. Following this, speculation arose that the individual was Jisoo's older brother.

The controversy further escalated when a woman claiming to be A's wife alleged that she had been subjected to domestic violence by A. Additionally, rumors circulated that A was an executive at Jisoo's agency, further entangling Jisoo in the scandal.

In response, Lawyer Eun stated, "Much of the content circulating online consists of unverified speculation or clearly false information." He added, "Jisoo began her trainee life at a young age and has lived independently for a long time, separated from her family, making it impossible for her to be aware of or involved in this individual's private life."

He continued, "While Jisoo did receive some limited advice and acted as a conduit for communication from family members during the preparatory phase of establishing BLS to facilitate discussions with relevant parties, there has been no fact that any family member has received compensation from BLS or participated in decision-making from that time until now. Since then, the agency has been managed completely independently without any involvement from family members."

He further stated, "Neither BLS nor Jisoo has provided any financial or legal support to this individual, nor do they plan to provide such support in the future. Furthermore, there has been no interaction or involvement regarding this matter." He expressed regret, noting that "continuously spreading content that contradicts the facts, or associating an artist's name, likeness, or image with unrelated matters for consumption and dissemination, constitutes a clear infringement of rights and defamation."

Lawyer Eun also indicated legal action, stating, "We will take a firm stance against malicious or repetitive post authors and distributors without any leniency or settlement."
