BLACKPINK’s Jennie Wins Lawsuit Over False Paternity Claim

(Xportsnews Oh Seunghyun) BLACKPINK member Jennie has prevailed in a court case against an individual, referred to as A, who falsely claimed to be her biological father.
According to a report by Woman Sense on the 18th, the Uijeongbu District Court Goyang Branch ruled on May 9th that A's assertion of being Jennie's biological father was unfounded.
The court further ordered A and publishing company B to destroy the books in question. Additionally, A is now prohibited from mentioning Jennie in any personal messenger profiles or accounts.
Previously, online communities were abuzz with the release of publications by A, which claimed to reveal the identity of Jennie's father. This led to widespread speculation and debate about Jennie's family background and the legitimacy of the claims.

 

As the controversy persisted, Jennie's agency, OA Entertainment, issued a statement denouncing the publications and fake news as baseless fabrications unrelated to the artist.

Jennie's representatives cautioned the public against purchasing the unauthorized publications and warned of potential harm. They also announced legal actions, including criminal complaints, against the perpetrators for defamation and obstruction of business.

Subsequently, Jennie's legal team filed a lawsuit to prohibit the distribution of the publication. According to the court's decision, it was determined that there was no evidence to support A's claim of paternity, whereas Jennie's official family registry clearly listed another individual as her father, thus confirming the falsehood of A's assertions.
