The production team of Curious Story Y has officially denied rumors that external pressure influenced their handling of a controversial case—one widely speculated online to involve the older brother of Jisoo.
On April 20, the SBS investigative program stated, “We are still looking into the matter.” The clarification comes after growing online discussions linked the case to the BLACKPINK star’s family.
Earlier, on April 18, the show uploaded a public tip request regarding an individual identified as “A,” described as the older brother of a famous girl group member.
The case included serious allegations sexual harassment of a female BJ (streamer) and domestic violence claims raised by his wife.
The production team also left a comment on the wife’s exposé post, encouraging additional reports. However, both the post and comment were later deleted—triggering widespread speculation.
Following the deletion, online communities began connecting the case to BLACKPINK member Jisoo, with some claiming the investigation was halted due to idol influence or the show was allegedly pressured to drop the case.
Despite the viral nature of these claims, no official source confirmed the identity of “A.”
Addressing the speculation, the Curious Story Y team firmly denied any outside interference: “That is absolutely not true. Not all items end up being broadcast. It is common to upload and delete tip requests.”
Rather than being canceled, the case remains in its early stages. The production team noted that they are still reviewing the situation and gathering information, which means it has not yet reached the level required for a full segment on the program.
This clarification suggests that the deletion of posts was procedural rather than suspicious, and that the investigation is quietly continuing behind the scenes.
The situation highlights how quickly rumors can escalate when a top K-pop star is indirectly involved. The mere possibility of a connection to Jisoo amplified public attention, turning an unconfirmed case into a widely discussed controversy.
In the fast-moving landscape of Korean entertainment news, even minor actions—like deleting a post—can trigger intense speculation, especially when they intersect with globally recognized figures.
