BLACKPINK Jisoo's brother accused of filming sexual encounter, possessing illegal videos of women; BLISSOO issues response
The timing has drawn attention too, as Jisoo, along with Jennie, Rosé 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.
BLISSOO responds, says they are verifying the facts
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.

I knew there is a band called BTS and I also know that they are famous. And by chance, I went there for an event to interview a very big celebrity and the band was also there to meet the same person."advertisement"Because I was late, I was in the last batch with those members of the band. So I asked one of the members, 'Who are you and where are you from', and he told me they are from BTS. I thought that the Korean organising team has called for a behind-the-scenes team. I was totally unaware of the fact that they are famous people. Later, when I told people that for 35 minutes I was in the same room as them, they fainted," he added.

The South Korean native, who shifted to New York in 2021 with her mother, is the daughter of renowned Episcopal priest Kyrie Kim. According to CNN, Go's mother, the Rev. Kyrie Kim, is the first woman consecrated in the Seoul Diocese of the Anglican Church of Korea. She works in the Episcopal Diocese of New York's Asian mission. The Trump administration's efforts to expand its control over 'sanctuary cities' like New York City coincide with the 20-year-old's detention. In July, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the city over measures 'designed to impede the Federal Government's ability to enforce the federal immigration laws.' Go's mother was getting 'regular calls' from her daughter following her detention, according to the Rev. Matthew Heyd of the Episcopal Diocese of New York. However, Go's father told CNN on Monday that they discovered his daughter had been sent to Louisiana through online records, adding that his 'mind went completely blank' after learning about the arrest.

'It's heartbreaking that this happened just as she was preparing for her second year. She's a bright, outgoing girl with many friends,' he added. Go's family seeks South Korea intervention Go's father and family urged the South Korean government to take act promptly in his daughter's matter. "I hope the South Korean government does everything in its capacity, as quickly as possible, so Yeonsoo can be released from her detention as soon as possible," her dad said. South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs told CNN that it is in contact with US officials on Go's arrest. 'The government has been providing the necessary consular assistance since becoming aware of the case.'
