BLACKPINK member and actress Jisoo (Kim Ji-soo) beamed with a bright smile after receiving the Rising Star Award at the Canneseries International Series Festival amid controversy surrounding her older brother.

Jisoo attended the opening ceremony of the 9th Canneseries International Series Festival held in Cannes, southern France, on the 23rd (local time).

That day, Jisoo walked the pink carpet, the highlight of the awards ceremony, wearing a glamorous dress. Amid intense media interest and cheers from local fans, she posed calmly, showcasing the dignity of a world-class idol.

Notably, Jisoo was honored as the recipient of the "Madame Figaro Rising Star Award" presented by the French media outlet Madame Figaro. Standing on the stage, Jisoo expressed her gratitude in French, saying "merci beaucoup," while flashing a radiant smile.

Jisoo delivered a powerful performance as Seo Mi-rae in the Netflix OTT series "Monthly Boyfriend," which was released in March this year.

Meanwhile, Jisoo's older brother, Mr. Kim, has been formally charged with the forced molestation of a female BJ and is also facing allegations of domestic violence against his former wife.

In response, Jisoo's solo agency, Blesso, clarified through legal representatives on the 20th: "The matter currently raised has absolutely no connection to the artist (Jisoo) or Blesso. It is entirely untrue that the individual in question co-founded the company with the artist or that he serves as an executive or CEO of Blesso. We clearly state that the individual currently holds no legal or managerial relationship with Blesso. While the artist did receive some limited advice and acted as a conduit for communication from family members during the preparation phase of establishing Blesso, there has never been any fact that family members received compensation from Blesso or participated in decision-making from that time until now. Since then, the company has been managed completely independently without any involvement from family members."

However, controversy spread after it was confirmed that Jisoo's older brother's name was listed as "CEO of Blesso Management" in the credits of Jisoo's recent work "Monthly Boyfriend," last year's Coupang Play series "Newtopia," and Jisoo's solo fan meeting.

Regarding this, the "Monthly Boyfriend" team explained: "Shortly after the release of the work, we confirmed in early March that there was an error in the actor's management credit due to a mistake by the production company. We immediately took corrective action."
