In response to rumors regarding her family, BLACKPINK’s Jennie has personally addressed claims about her biological father, who allegedly published a long-form novel about her and the popular K-pop group.
Recently, it came to light that PD Kim Hyung Jin, the author of a fictional work titled “World Informant,”is mistakenly identified as BLACKPINK Jennie’s father on various social media platforms. This novel gained attention for allegedly containing insights about Jennie’s life and her journey with BLACKPINK.
On September 6, Jennie addressed these rumors through her agency, ODD ATELIER (OA). In an official statement, she categorically denied all allegations, stating:
“Hello, this is OA Entertainment. We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to all fans who love and care for our artist, Jennie.
Recently, illegally produced publications and false information impersonating the artist’s father have been circulating. We want to clarify that these are clearly false facts and have no relation to the artist.”
Jennie emphasized her intent to pursue legal action against those spreading malicious comments and misinformation.
“Please be cautious about purchasing illegally produced publications and avoid potential damages related to this.
We are taking legal action, including filing a criminal complaint against distributors of these materials on grounds of defamation through the dissemination of false information, obstruction of business, etc.”
The agency also addressed issues regarding fake news and harassment targeted at Jennie, stating:
“Our company is pursuing legal action against the author of malicious posts related to defamation, sexual harassment, and slander against our artist. Such acts are criminal offenses, and we will continue to take strong legal action based on the evidence collected. We remain dedicated to protecting our artists. Thank you.”
Since departing YG Entertainment last year, Jennie founded OA in December to focus on her solo career. Additionally, she will be active in the entertainment industry on September 27th with her appearance in JTBC’s “My Name Is Gabriel.”
