According to recent reports, Jisoo’s brother (identified as Kim) had been previously embroiled in allegations, including claims of illegal filming and misconduct.
Following the emergence of these accusations in May last year, he reportedly lost trust from both his family and Jisoo, eventually changing his phone number and cutting off direct contact.
Sources claim that since then, Jisoo has had no involvement or communication regarding his personal controversies.
Monthly Boyfriend became another focal point of the issue. When the series was released in March 2026, viewers noticed that Jisoo’s brother was listed in the credits as a representative of her agency.
However, this was later clarified as a production error. The production team stated that the incorrect credit was based on outdated information from the filming period (October 2024 – May 2025), when he had briefly assisted her informally.
Upon discovering the error, Jisoo reportedly took immediate action. She strongly objected to the inclusion of his name and went as far as paying the necessary costs to have the credits corrected, ensuring that his association with her work was removed. The credits have since been updated.
After her contract with YG Entertainment ended, Jisoo established her own label, BLISSOO, operating as a one-person agency. Clarifications revealed that her brother:
- Was never officially registered as an executive
- Did not receive salary or shares
- Had no decision-making authority
His involvement was described as temporary and familial, rather than professional.
Jisoo’s legal representative emphasized that the controversy is completely unrelated to the artist: “The matters currently being raised have nothing to do with the artist or her company. Much of the information circulating online is unverified or false.”
The statement also noted that Jisoo has lived independently for years due to her early trainee life, making it difficult for her to be aware of or involved in her family member’s private matters.
Her legal team also issued a firm statement distancing Jisoo from the situation, stressing that the ongoing controversy is entirely unrelated to the artist or her company. They noted that much of the information circulating online consists of unverified claims or false assumptions. Additionally, they highlighted that Jisoo has lived independently for years due to her early start as a trainee, making it unlikely for her to be aware of or involved in her family member’s private affairs.
The situation has sparked intense discussion online, particularly around how celebrities navigate family-related controversies.
While some sympathize with Jisoo’s position, others continue to scrutinize the situation highlighting the complex intersection of personal life and public image in K-pop.
