- An anonymous post accuses Jisoo‘s brother, Kim Jung-hoon, of filming a woman without consent during intimacy.
- The post claims he is a repeat offender who shared explicit content with acquaintances.
- Kim Jung-hoon has denied the accusations and vowed legal action for defamation.
Accusations surfaced on May 29 through an anonymous post on Blind, a Korean community platform, claiming that Kim Jung-hoon, brother of BLACKPINK‘s Jisoo, secretly recorded a woman during a sexual encounter.
In response, Kim Jung-hoon has categorically denied the allegations, calling them “entirely baseless” and stating his intention to sue for defamation. Meanwhile, Jisoo’s agency, BLISSOO, issued a cautious statement saying they are verifying facts.
Jisoo’s Brother Denies Viral Claims of Sexual Misconduct Amid Ongoing Scrutiny
The original post that triggered the controversy has since been deleted but had already spread widely on social media platforms. It detailed disturbing allegations of exploitation, manipulation, and illegal filming during intimate moments, reportedly involving multiple women.
Beyond just recording, the accuser claimed that Kim Jung-hoon coerced women into sharing explicit videos and treated them as objects. These serious claims, if proven true, could result in criminal consequences under South Korean law, where filming someone without consent is a punishable offense.
Kim Jung-hoon responded swiftly, denying all allegations and labeling them as “completely false.” He revealed that he is already consulting legal counsel to address the situation and protect his reputation, which could have broader implications for his family, especially his celebrity sister.
BLISSOO, Jisoo’s agency, has refrained from commenting further beyond confirming they are “fact-checking.” The silence from Jisoo herself has sparked divided reactions online, as netizens debate the boundaries of family responsibility when public figures are involved.
While investigations continue, the case highlights the need for accountability, even among relatives of public figures, and the serious nature of digital consent violations.
