JENNIE was falsely identified as the daughter of Mr. A, who published a book making that claim.
The court reviewed the case and found no evidence linking JENNIE and Mr. A as father and daughter.
Online communities responded with both support and suspicion, discussing JENNIE’s family background in detail.
Legal Ruling Rejects False Claim
JENNIE of BLACKPINK won a legal case against Mr. A, a man who falsely claimed to be her father. The court reviewed the matter and ruled in JENNIE’s favor, rejecting Mr. A’s story as baseless. He had insisted publicly that JENNIE was his biological daughter, but could not provide any real proof. This judgment confirmed that his statement lacked credibility and was entirely unsupported by facts.
Court Finds JENNIE Has Different Father
The court carefully examined JENNIE’s family registry, which clearly identified another man as her father. Mr. A failed to submit any evidence to support his claim besides his personal statements and writings. Because of this, the court ruled there was no reason to believe Mr. A had a biological link to JENNIE. This confirmed that his declaration was not only untrue but also potentially harmful to JENNIE’s reputation.
JENNIE and Father Issue Sparks Book Ban
Mr. A and publisher B were ordered to destroy all copies of the book that contained the false claim. They must also delete all online posts about JENNIE, whether on KakaoTalk, websites, or social media. The court banned Mr. A from discussing JENNIE in any future interviews, articles, or broadcast appearances. This decision aimed to prevent further harm to JENNIE and stop the spread of misleading content.
False Claim Began With AI Novel
The entire issue began when Mr. A published an AI-generated novel that mentioned JENNIE by name. The book described JENNIE as his daughter and even used her agency’s logo without permission. The logo of OA Entertainment appeared on the book’s cover, though the company had never approved it. This false connection between the story and JENNIE led to widespread confusion and serious concern.
JENNIE and Agency File Legal Complaint
JENNIE and her agency, OA Entertainment, filed a lawsuit in December to block the book’s distribution. They demanded 200 million KRW in damages and warned of strong action against false information. The agency stressed that JENNIE had no relation to Mr. A and denounced the claims as completely untrue. They also stated that all legal steps were underway to address both the book and other fake news.
Online Communities React to JENNIE and Father Dispute
Reactions from Korean internet users showed different attitudes depending on the community platform. Users on theqoo expressed shock and anger at Mr. A, calling him a scammer and attention-seeker. They found it outrageous that he would go as far as writing and publishing a fake story about JENNIE. However, MLBPARK users pointed out that JENNIE rarely mentions her father or speaks about her family. They questioned whether her father is alive, dead, or simply absent from her public life entirely. That uncertainty led some to feel the situation still seemed mysterious or incomplete.

Doesn’t matter who Jennie’s dad is. Seriously hope she’s not having family troubles though. Family stuff is tough for anyone, anywhere.
