Jisoo of BLACKPINK remains at the center of public attention as family-related controversies continue to unfold. Amid the situation, her older sister Kim Ji Yoon is set to make a television appearance, drawing further interest.
tvN recently released a teaser for its upcoming fashion survival program “Kill It: Style Creator War”, which is scheduled to premiere on May 12.
The show aims to discover the next iconic figure in fashion content creation, bringing together influencers and creatives in a competitive format.
Kim Ji Yoon, known as an influencer and often nicknamed “Gunpo’s Han Hyo Joo” for her visuals, had already attracted attention when her participation was first announced last month.
Her upcoming broadcast appearance is now receiving even more attention due to the ongoing controversy surrounding Jisoo’s older brother.
Recent reports alleged that a family member of a famous girl group was investigated for misconduct, later identified in follow-up reports as Jisoo’s brother. Additional claims, including accusations from his spouse, further intensified public scrutiny.
In response, Jisoo clarified through her legal representative that she has long been estranged from her brother, emphasizing that:
- They have lived separately for years
- Her family has no legal or professional ties to her company
- Claims about her brother holding an executive role are false
Despite her statement, criticism persisted after her brother’s name appeared in the credits of the Netflix series Monthly Boyfriend, where Jisoo starred.
This detail reignited debate over whether there had been undisclosed connections, placing additional pressure on the artist during an already sensitive time.
With Kim Ji Yoon preparing to debut on a major broadcast platform, the overlap between her appearance and the controversy has created a complicated situation.
While her participation in the show is unrelated to the allegations, the timing has inevitably drawn public attention to her as well.
