BLACKPINK Jennie Wins Legal Battle Against Man Who Falsely Claimed To Be Her Father

Given her immense popularity, it’s no surprise that everyone wants a piece of Jennie’s (제니) fame. Some would even claim to have a personal relationship to the BLACKPINK (블랙핑크) member – like this man who claimed to be her father.

Yesterday (18th June 2025, Wednesday), the “Like Jennie” singer won the lawsuit against a man who had claimed to be her father. The man also previously published a book alleging their relationship. The South Korean court ruled that all the information spread was untrue, later instructing that all related publications be destroyed to stop further misinformation.

This case began back on 30th August 2024, when the Korean publisher released his 8th novel, reportedly called “World Informant”. It featured the idol’s name and picture on the cover, fiercely claiming that he was Jennie’s biological father. It mentioned that Jennie and another Korean singer had conducted simulations at an AI robot camera global center. With the assistance of AI, he claimed this was the “true story” of Jennie, writing about her childhood up until her trainee days.

According to Korean publication Woman Sense, on the 9th May 2025, the Uijeongbu District Court Goyang Branch ruled that everything the publisher said was baseless. “There is no supporting evidence for the defendant’s claim aside from his own statements,” the court added. “Meanwhile, the plaintiff’s official family registry clearly identifies another man as her father. It is therefore reasonable to conclude that the defendant’s claim is untrue.”

The man is now prohibited from mentioning Jennie on social media or  in interviews. Furthermore, he was told by the court that he is to destroy all existing copies of the novel. Even though the court understood the violation of Jennie’s rights, the case didn’t involve any property claims. The defendants were ordered to cover all legal costs.

This incident prompted the court to highlight the legal consequences of spreading misinformation and impersonating public figures. The case also brings up the misuse of AI, noting that as it becomes more accessible, more people can easily create deceptive content.
