"We are also taking legal action": ODDATELIER warns people against impersonating JENNIE's father on social media

On September 6, ODDATELIER, the agency representing BLACKPINK's Jennie, issued a firm warning against individuals falsely claiming to be the K-pop star's father. In a recent statement, the agency emphasized that she has no connection to these impersonators, debunking rumors that an upcoming novel is based on her life.

The agency assured fans that legal action is underway to address the issue. The situation escalated due to a now-deleted media report. It claimed that PD Kim Hyung-jin, a known author, was Jennie's father and was planning to release a novel based on her life.

ODDATELIER swiftly denied these claims, asserting that the report was baseless and that Jennie had no ties to Kim or any publication associated with him.

"We are also taking legal action against the authors of malicious posts, including defamation, s*xual harassment, and malicious slander by spreading falsehoods about artists." the agency added in the statement.
