The agency of BLACKPINK’s Jisoo has stated that the recent controversy involving her family is “entirely unrelated to the artist.”

On April 20, legal representative Eun Hyunho of Kim & Chang, acting on behalf of Jisoo’s agency Blisu, released a statement saying, “The current issue being raised has absolutely nothing to do with either the artist or Blisu.” Attorney Eun emphasized that much of the information circulating online consists of unverified speculation or falsehoods.

Previously, on April 14, police arrested Jisoo’s family member, identified as Mr. A, on charges of attempting inappropriate physical contact with a woman. Although the police requested a detention warrant, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office dismissed the request.

Attorney Eun explained, “The artist became independent at an early stage during her trainee years and has lived apart from her family for a long time,” adding, “She is not in a position to know about or be involved in Mr. A’s private life.”

The agency also addressed suspicions regarding the founding of Blisu. Attorney Eun stated, “Although a family member provided some advice during the preparation stage, they never received compensation or participated in any decision-making.” He further clarified, “Blisu is currently operated independently, entirely separate from the family.”

In particular, regarding rumors that Mr. A is part of Blisu’s management or serves as CEO, Attorney Eun refuted, “That is completely untrue.” He continued, “Mr. A has no legal or managerial relationship with Blisu whatsoever. Neither the artist nor the agency has provided any financial or legal support, nor do they have any plans to do so in the future.”

Blisu stated that it plans to take civil and criminal legal action against those spreading false information and associating the artist’s image with unrelated matters.
