Blackpink's Jennie has made the headlines again, this time for filing a criminal lawsuit against an imposter who has been claiming to be her father. Read on for more details!
Jennie has been in the headlines a lot recently, however this time it has not been for a new debut or for an outfit trend. The reason the star has been in the headlines is due to an imposter who has been claiming to be her dad. It sounds messed up, and of course this speculation arouse when some publications of a book claimed that the author of the book was her biological father. Jennie following this, refuted these claims and said that there was no link between the author (Jin) and herself. I believe that people these days are so hungry for fame, that of course lies will be made up, however with the internet and easy accessibility to information I do not understand why someone would make up this claim about someone with such a high global profile.
The K-pop stars label were also quick to respond to these claims, stating that they plan to address the illegal issues around the claims, and quote: "We are pursuing legal action by filing a criminal complaint for defamation and obstruction of business caused by the spread of false information through the law firm." I also agree with this, as publishing false information can lead to complications with the stars work and public image.
Of course, this all began when a Korean Media outlet reported that PD Kim Hyung Jin is the father of a K-pop star and that he planned to release a long form novel about the star and her life, but this could not be verified, and with good reason. I am sure that the star would comment on this book if it were true information, so the book should be published as a fiction book due to the baseless claims.
Let's take a closer look:
JTBC recently announced that the Blackpink star would be making a guest appearance on My Name is Gabriel. The rapper will be transforming into Maria, the owner of the Italian farmhouse bed and breakfast, for the variety show. Jennie's episodes are scheduled to air on September 27 and October 4, this is something that I cannot wait for, as I hope to see more of the real Jennie, and also I hope to find out some more information related to her new album, signing with Columbia Records and also these claims. What do you think about the claims that have been made?
