BLACKPINK Jisoo brother Kim Jung-Hoon: A controversy has emerged in South Korea involving the brother of BLACKPINK member Jisoo. For the unversed, reports surfaced online indicating that Kim Jung-Hoon is under police investigation in connection with an alleged sexual assault case. The situation has quickly drawn widespread attention online, particularly among K-pop fans who are closely following developments.
According to Korean media reports, the Seoul Gangnam Police Station is investigating a man in his 30s on charges of forced molestation. While authorities have not officially confirmed the suspect’s identity, online speculation has pointed towards Kim Jung-Hoon, the elder brother of the BLACKPINK star.
What led to the investigation?
The case reportedly began when a female streamer accused the suspect of making unwanted physical contact during a private meeting. Reports claim that the man purchased what is described as a “date ticket,” after which the two had dinner and drinks together.
The streamer later alleged that the suspect took her to his home while assuring her he would not force any form of physical intimacy. However, she claims the situation escalated despite her repeated refusal. “He promised that he would not have any sexual contact with me. I already rejected him several times, but he forced physical contact and also tried to sexually assault me,” the woman said, according to local media reports.
Police reportedly intervened after receiving a complaint, and the victim was rescued during the incident. Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the case.
Who is Kim Jung-Hoon?
Kim Jung-Hoon is widely known as the elder brother of Jisoo, one of the four members of the globally successful K-pop group BLACKPINK. He is believed to be about six years older than the singer.
Unlike his sister, Kim Jung-Hoon works largely outside the entertainment spotlight. However, his name occasionally appears in discussions related to Jisoo’s professional ventures. Reports suggest he has business connections with BLISSOO, the label associated with Jisoo’s activities.
According to publicly available information, he is married and has two children.
Previous online allegations resurface
The current controversy has also revived earlier claims that surfaced online in 2025. At the time, an anonymous user on a workplace community platform alleged that she had been secretly filmed during an assault and claimed the individual responsible was Jisoo’s brother. The post was later deleted, and no official confirmation followed.
