BLACKPINK member Jisoo is not connected to a family member under police investigation, an attorney representing her agency, Blissoo, said Monday. Police had earlier sought an arrest warrant for a man, identified as Jisoo's family member, on allegations of attempted indecent physical contact, but prosecutors rejected the request. "The issue currently being raised has nothing to do with the artist or Blissoo," said attorney Eun Hyun-ho of Seoul-based law firm Kim & Chang, who represents the agency. He added that Jisoo began her trainee period at a young age and has lived apart from her family for a long time, making it unlikely she was aware of or involved in the individual's private matters. The lawyer also denied rumors that the agency was jointly established by Jisoo and the family member or that he was involved in its management.

Jennie of K-pop girl group BLACKPINK has been listed among U.S. Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People of the Year," becoming the only Korean included. The singer was named in the Artists category of the Time 100 announced Wednesday (U.S. time), joining global figures across politics, culture and sports. Jennie made history last year when her solo album, "Ruby," saw three tracks enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart simultaneously, a first for a K-pop female solo artist. Grammy-nominated American musician Gracie Abrams introduced Jennie in Time, calling her "a star" and praising "the magic at her core" that draws audiences whether on stage, on screen or behind the scenes. "What makes Jennie a true star is that even in her quiet moments, she possesses the same kind of undeniable presence that cuts through all the noise, and she carries that with kindness and warmth," Abrams wrote. Among the Korean Americans on the 2026 list are musician Anderson .Paak and snowboarder Chloe Kim, who drew praise for competing through an injury at this year's Winter Olympics despite falling short of her thi
