This Friday, 6th, JennieBLACKPINK’s KIKI has announced that they will be taking legal action against false information being spread by an impostor claiming to be their father.

In the official statement, the company claims that the acts committed constitute crimes of slander, defamation and obstruction of business; read the translation below:
Hello, this is OA Entertainment.
We would like to extend our gratitude to the fans who value and support our artist Jennie.
Recently, there have been continuous fake news and illegal publications containing false information that impersonate Jennie’s father. We would like to firmly inform you that these claims are completely false and have no connection with the artist. We urge everyone to be cautious when purchasing such illegal materials and avoid any harm caused by these false claims. We are taking legal action against those responsible for spreading these falsehoods, including filing criminal charges for defamation and obstruction of business through our law firm.
In addition, we are also pursuing legal action against individuals responsible for defamation, sexual harassment, and malicious slander against our artist. Such actions are clear crimes and we will continue to take strong and unrelenting legal action based on the evidence gathered. We will remain committed to protecting the rights and interests of our artist.
Thanks.
