BLACKPINK's Jisoo faces controversy: K-pop singer's brother faces sexual misconduct allegations as explosive claims surface

A wave of controversy has erupted around BLACKPINK’s Jisoo following serious accusations targeting her older brother, Kim Jung Hoon. The allegations were first made public on May 29 through an anonymous post on BLIND, a social media platform frequented by South Korean employees. The post accused Kim of sexually inappropriate behavior, including maintaining multiple romantic relationships and recording a sexual encounter without consent.

The post detailed the alleged victim’s account, stating she was unaware she was being recorded during an intimate moment at Kim’s home. The user described initially trusting him after he introduced himself as a relative of a famous celebrity and spoke about his business endeavors. However, the relationship allegedly turned exploitative. The user claimed, “He did not have my consent. One day, we were having sex at his house. It was only later that I found out— He had secretly filmed the intercourse with a hidden camera.”

The post also accused Kim of pressuring some women into sending explicit videos and treating them without regard for their emotional well-being or consent. The individual behind the post shared that she was open to taking legal action and encouraged others who had similar experiences to come forward.

Kim Jung Hoon Responds, Denies Claims

Shortly after the allegations surfaced, Kim Jung Hoon issued a response through Ilgan Sports, categorically denying the accusations. In his statement, he said, “It’s completely groundless. I plan to file a lawsuit and am currently discussing it with a law firm.” His strong rebuttal indicates a clear intent to take legal measures against the claims.

The original post was removed from BLIND, but its contents had already been widely disseminated online, prompting significant media coverage and public interest. Kim has not issued any additional statements since, and there has been no official confirmation about legal proceedings being initiated.

Public Reaction and Jisoo’s Involvement

The controversy has led to growing concern among BLACKPINK fans, with many expressing distress over the possible impact on Jisoo’s reputation. Although she is not personally implicated in the accusations, her close professional and familial association with Kim Jung Hoon has brought her into the spotlight. Some netizens speculated on his involvement with BLISOO, a brand reportedly linked to Jisoo, which has only intensified the scrutiny.

Online communities have voiced sympathy for the singer, with several users suggesting that she distance herself from her brother to safeguard her image and career. The overwhelming sentiment reflects how quickly public figures and their families can come under pressure when facing scandals, even indirectly.

Company Statements and Current Status

Kim Jung Hoon is known to be active in the business sector, particularly in the children’s health supplement brand Biomom. He also co-founded the entertainment label Blissoo, which has been associated with Jisoo in public promotions.

In response to the accusations, Jisoo’s agency provided a short comment, stating that they are “currently checking the facts.” Beyond that, no additional statements have been made by the agency, Kim Jung Hoon, or other involved parties.
