Jisoo's side, a member of the group BLACKPINK (real name Kim Ji-soo), has issued an official statement regarding the recent family-related controversy.

On the 20th, Eun Hyun-ho, a lawyer at Kim & Chang Law Offices representing Jisoo's agency Blysu's legal counsel, released an official statement, saying, "The matter currently raised is entirely unrelated to the artist and Blysu, and the numerous contents circulating online are unverified speculation or clearly false facts." The term "artist" refers to Jisoo.

He continued, "The artist began her trainee life at a young age and became independent early on, living apart from her family for a long period, making it impossible to be aware of or involved in this individual's private life."

He further emphasized, "While the artist did receive some limited advice and acted as a conduit for communication from family members during Blysu's establishment preparation process to facilitate discussions with relevant parties, there has been no fact that family members have received compensation from Blysu or participated in decision-making from that time until now. Since then, the company has been managed completely independently without any connection to family members."

The legal counsel stated, "Blysu and the artist are not providing any financial or legal support to this individual, nor do they plan to provide such support in the future. Furthermore, there has been no contact or involvement regarding this matter. Continuously spreading content that differs from the facts, or consuming and disseminating the artist's name, likeness, and image by linking them to unrelated matters, clearly constitutes infringement of rights and defamation."

He then clearly announced, "We will take a firm stance against malicious or repetitive post authors and disseminators without any leniency or settlement."

Recently, reports emerged that A, the biological older brother of a famous girl group member, was arrested on suspicion of molesting a female BJ, causing a stir. As speculation spread that this individual was Jisoo's biological older brother, Jisoo's agency side appears to have taken action.

◆ Full text of the official statement from Blysu's legal counsel.

I am Eun Hyun-ho, a lawyer at Kim & Chang Law Offices, representing Blysu's legal counsel.

Regarding the recent family-related matters concerning the artist under Blysu, which have been spreading through some media reports, online communities, and SNS, we express our deepest regret that the artist and Blysu are being indiscriminately linked to these matters or that their reputation is being damaged based on content that differs from the facts.

First, the matter currently raised is entirely unrelated to the artist and Blysu, and the numerous contents circulating online are unverified speculation or clearly false facts.

The artist began her trainee life at a young age and became independent early on, living apart from her family for a long period, making it impossible to be aware of or involved in this individual's private life.

Furthermore, while the artist did receive some limited advice and acted as a conduit for communication from family members during Blysu's establishment preparation process to facilitate discussions with relevant parties, there has been no fact that family members have received compensation from Blysu or participated in decision-making from that time until now. Since then, the company has been managed completely independently without any connection to family members.

In particular, we clearly state that the contents circulating in some media and online, such as "This individual and the artist established the company together," or "This individual is an executive or CEO of Blysu," are entirely false, and this individual currently has no legal or business relationship with Blysu.

Additionally, Blysu and the artist are not providing any financial or legal support to this individual, nor do they plan to provide such support in the future. Furthermore, there has been no contact or involvement regarding this matter.

Nevertheless, continuously spreading content that differs from the facts, or consuming and disseminating the artist's name, likeness, and image by linking them to unrelated matters, clearly constitutes infringement of rights and defamation.

Therefore, our legal counsel hereby issues a stern warning that all possible legal measures under civil and criminal law will be taken immediately against the following acts.

1. Posting and distributing content that spreads false facts and defames

2. Using the artist's name, likeness, or image for unrelated matters

3. Reporting or creating content based on speculative content without fact-checking

In particular, we clearly state that we will take a firm stance against malicious or repetitive post authors and disseminators without any leniency or settlement.
