Amid escalating controversy surrounding BLACKPINK member Jisoo’s family, it has been confirmed that a name previously listed in the credits of the Netflix series ‘Boyfriend on Demand’ was removed following a labeling issue.
On the 21st, the ‘Boyfriend on Demand’ team stated, “In early March, immediately after the release, we confirmed an error in how talent managements were listed in the credits and corrected it right away.” When the series was first released, reports indicated that the ending credits included the name of a person identified as Jisoo’s older brother under a company listing. The credits have since been revised to display only the company name.
The controversy began after reports claimed that a man in his 30s, arrested on suspicion of molesting a female streamer, was the brother of a well-known idol. Online speculation quickly linked the individual to Jisoo’s family, intensifying public attention. The situation escalated further when a person claiming to be the man’s spouse posted additional allegations on social media.
On the 20th, Jisoo’s side issued an official statement through legal counsel, stating, “The matters currently being raised are entirely unrelated to the artist and the company.”
Meanwhile, ‘Boyfriend on Demand’ premiered on Netflix in March. The series follows Mi-rae (played by Jisoo), a webtoon PD who turns to a virtual dating simulation service and encounters an unexpected form of romance.
