Jisoo's Response to Brother's Allegations
In the midst of a growing scandal, Jisoo from Blackpink is facing indirect scrutiny due to serious allegations against her brother, Kim Jung-Hoon. The ongoing police investigation has ignited significant outrage on social media. In response, Jisoo has made it clear through her agency, BLISSOO, that she is not involved in the situation. Fans have also pointed out that the post-credits of the Netflix series Boyfriend On Demand included Jung-Hoon's name, which has led to further backlash. The production team of the series has since addressed a separate issue regarding an error in the end credits that raised privacy concerns about Jisoo's family. Amidst the escalating public scrutiny, Jisoo's representatives have reiterated her complete disassociation from the incident.

The production team behind Boyfriend On Demand has rectified an error in the end credits following the controversy surrounding Jisoo's family. On April 21, they informed OSEN that they had identified a mistake in the actor management credits shortly after the series' release in early March and took prompt corrective measures. The end credits had mistakenly listed a representative from Jisoo’s agency, BLISSOO, which the production team has since corrected. This issue gained traction as allegations emerged against an individual known as Mr. A, who has been accused of sexual harassment and abuse. Public outrage grew as more claims of domestic violence surfaced from his wife, leading to speculation linking him to Jisoo's family, which captured widespread attention online.
