What Is Controversy About?
On April 16, reports emerged that the older brother of a well-known girl group member, identified as Mr. A, had been arrested on charges of sexually molesting a female broadcast jockey (BJ). As speculation pointed to Jisoo’s brother, the situation escalated further. A person identifying herself as Mr. A’s wife also claimed on social media that she had experienced domestic violence during their marriage.
Jisoo Official Statement — Key Points
Attorney Eun Hyun Ho of Kim & Chang, the legal representative for Jisoo’s agency BLISSOO, released the official statement on April 20.
| Key Claim | Official Stance |
|---|---|
| Artist’s involvement | Completely unrelated to Jisoo & BLISSOO |
| Family role in BLISSOO | No compensation, management, or decision-making role |
| “Co-founded BLISSOO” claims | Entirely false |
| Financial/legal support to brother | None given, none planned |
| Legal action | Civil & criminal action threatened |
Jisoo Has Lived Independently for Years
The statement notes that Jisoo began her trainee life at a young age and has lived independently from her family for many years, meaning she is not in a position to be aware of or involved in the private matters of the individual in question.
While family members did provide limited assistance during the early stages of establishing BLISSOO — relaying communications — they never received compensation or participated in any management or decision-making processes.
Zero Tolerance for Misinformation
Jisoo’s legal team didn’t mince words. The statement clearly warns of firm civil and criminal legal action — without leniency or settlement — against anyone creating or spreading false content, using Jisoo’s name or likeness in unrelated matters, or publishing speculation-based claims.
This is a textbook example of how K-pop agencies handle defamation in the digital age — swift, formal, and legally aggressive.
