Jennie of BLACKPINK has officially won a legal battle against a man who falsely claimed to be her biological father. The court ruled that the defendant's allegations were completely baseless and ordered a ban on the spread of related publications.

⚖️ Court rules in Jennie's favor: "No evidence he's her father"

On May 9, the Goyang branch of the Uijeongbu District Court delivered a verdict in the case titled "Claim to Prohibit Distribution of Publication", filed by Jennie's legal team. The defendants were "A", who claimed paternity, and publishing company "B" that printed his book.

The court stated, "There is no supporting evidence aside from the defendant's own claims," and confirmed, "Jennie's official family registry clearly names a different person as her legal father."

📕 Book banned, online content to be deleted

The judge ordered a complete recall of all published copies of A's book. Additionally, A was ordered to delete any content about Jennie posted to KakaoTalk, social media platforms, or the internet. He was also banned from mentioning her in future broadcasts or interviews.

👀 AI fiction, false identity, and Jennie's swift response

Last year, A published a fictional book — allegedly powered by AI — claiming he was Jennie's father. The prologue directly referenced Jennie and BLACKPINK, drawing attention and controversy.

Jennie's side quickly clapped back, calling the claims "entirely false and unrelated to Jennie in any way." Legal representatives filed a lawsuit to block publication and pursued damages for defamation.

Jennie's victory underscores the importance of truth and privacy in the digital age — and reminds everyone that some lines should never be crossed.
