BLACKPINK Jisoo's brother accused of secretly filming women, misconduct and more: ‘He didn't have my consent'
Korean celebrities and K-pop idols frequently find themselves in the middle of controversies and sometimes that extend beyond them. This time, it's BLACKPINK member Jisoo whose brother has come under fire. Kim Jung Hoon is facing serious allegations of sexual misconduct and cheating after an online post went viral.
As per multiple reports of Korean outlets, the controversy sparked when an anonymous post was shared on BLIND, a social media platform for employees. The post made bold claims about Kim Jung Hoon maintaining multiple relations with women, secretly filming a woman without consent and more.
It began a debate on the internet before it was deleted.
As per Koreaboo, the post read: 'Secretly Filmed by BLACKPINK Jisoo's Brother. There is only one person involved. It took me a long time to write this. What I went through was so horrific that I couldn't even speak about it for a while. But I can't go on living like this, so I've decided to gather the courage to share my story. Everything in this post is based on my real experience. At first, I trusted him.'
"He introduced himself as the brother of a famous celebrity. He spoke well and told me about his dreams, saying he was running a business. At the time, I had no reason to doubt him. I thought he was an impressive person and believed that he genuinely cared about me. But that was a complete misunderstanding. He did not have my consent. One day, we were having sex at his house. It was only later that I found out— He had secretly filmed the intercourse with a hidden camera.'
The post further claimed that Jisoo's brother was involved with several women at the same time. He reportedly pressured some into sending explicit videos and 'treated women as sexual objects, disregarding their consent and emotions.'
'I never gave my consent. I didn't know I was being filmed. I am a victim,' the anonymous post also mentioned. The user added that she is open to pursuing legal action against him and ready to go public and also urged others to share their stories too.
Jisoo's brother is currently involved in the children's health supplement brand, Biomom. He also partnered with Jisoo to launch the entertainment label Blissoo.
While he is yet to react to the allegations, a report of India Today claimed that the singer's agency has briefly responded to the viral post. They said they are 'currently checking the facts.'

'Devil in the Ozarks' on Loose: Killer ex-cop has a dangerous edge as he knows exactly how police think
Police set up checkpoints looking for escaped prisoner Grant Hardin (Pic credit: AP) A massive manhunt is underway for a former Arkansas police chief who escaped from prison Sunday, and experts warn the fugitive's law enforcement background could give him a dangerous edge. Grant Hardin, 56, once the police chief of Gateway, Arkansas, vanished from the North Central Unit, a medium-security prison in Calico Rock, less than 30 minutes before prison officials noticed he was gone. The convicted murderer and rapist, known locally as the "Devil in the Ozarks," is considered armed and extremely dangerous. "He has a working knowledge of law enforcement procedures, patrol routines and how search operations are typically structured," said Eric Brown, a 24-year US army special forces veteran and CEO of Imperio Consulting. "That gives him an initial edge. He knows how law enforcement thinks." 'Think like a fugitive' Authorities have ramped up surveillance and search efforts across Stone County, just east of the Ozark Mountains. Law enforcement teams are deploying drones, thermal imaging, and K-9 units to track Hardin across the rugged terrain. "Officials are watching for stolen vehicles, break-ins, supply thefts, and unusual chatter," Brown said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Soluções de energia de confiança para Data Centers de IA Siemens Energy Read More Undo "The key is pattern disruption." Photos shared by the Stone County sheriff's office show Hardin walking through a sally port wearing a prison-style uniform, though officials said it was not standard issue. The Arkansas department of corrections has not yet revealed how Hardin bypassed security. Dr Angelo Brown, a criminology professor at Arkansas State University, said Hardin's prior role as a police chief could also mean he still has "ties to law enforcement officials who may help him" and is unlikely to make basic errors like using credit cards or contacting family. FBI offers $20,000 reward The FBI has joined the search, offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to Hardin's capture. Authorities say he has connections in Garfield, Eureka Springs, Holiday Island, and Huntsville, and believe he may still be in the general area, for now. "All it takes is one vehicle for him to travel a great distance," said ADC communications director Rand Champion during a press conference Wednesday. "But as of now, we believe he's still close by." Champion warned the public to treat Hardin as "a very dangerous individual," noting there's a real risk he could commit additional crimes while on the run. Hardin's escape came just two days after 10 inmates broke out of a correctional facility in New Orleans, an event that has intensified scrutiny on prison security systems across the South. Authorities describe Hardin as a 6-foot white male, approximately 259 pounds. Anyone with information is urged to call the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI. "This is a man with a violent history and the skills to vanish," said Brown. "The clock is ticking — and he's not the kind of man you want free for long."

HOPE ON THE STAGE Live Viewing Review: BTS' J-Hope shuts down fake abs rumors, slays singing and dancing worthy of ace tag
J-Hope, aka Jung Hoseok, is often categorized as a rapper in the globally popular K-pop group BTS. Third in line, in terms of age, he is also called the performance leader of the team, while RM takes on the general leader title. The latter has also gone on record to say that in his absence, he would hand the responsibility of the team to the former, thanks to his trustworthy skills. Called a rapper, the singer-songwriter began as a street dancer, and has time and again proven where his roots belong, with releases surrounding his underground days taking shape as some of his most loved tracks. Soon, he'll be closing off his first world tour, having toured Asia and North America, with encore concerts in his homeland. His official last city stop in the HOPE ON THE STAGE TOUR, before heading back to South Korea, was in Japan, with the first show in Osaka being streamed live globally across theatres with PVR INOX, and you bet we were there to witness it, all the way from India. Not far away from fashion taking the forefront in his life, J-Hope started off strong, with a red fit and some of his most celebrated solo songs, creating an unparalleled impact right from the get-go. One of the more anticipated performances, ARSON, on the street, i wonder, and more followed suit, and the crowd came alive for the star who never let loose even for a second. Older solo release, collaboration tracks, and more were in line, with each dance getting a louder reaction from the audience. J-Hope's latest songs, Sweet Dreams and MONA LISA, released post his military discharge, were like a fever dream, launching his appreciation score to the max for us. Finally, BTS ' group songs like Airplane Pt. 2, MIC Drop, Silver Spoon, and Dis-ease earned wild reactions from attendees who chanted the septet's names with such fervor, you'd know it was time for the group to reunite. The singer also addressed absurd rumors doing the rounds, but in a very J-Hope way, sharing a story from his military service about working hard towards maintaining his 'survival muscles'. His taut abs, visible from the white, fitted vest he fashioned over loose-fitting jeans, did the rest of the talking for him. HOPE ON THE STAGE was as real as it gets for the juggernaut, who has taken yet another chance to prove himself worthy of the all-rounder title that has longed for his acknowledgement.
