On June 18, Women’s Sense reported that the Uijeongbu District Court, Goyang Branch, ruled in favor of BLACKPINK’s Jennie on May 9, ordering the removal and destruction of an AI-generated novel falsely claiming to be authored by her biological father.
The book, created by Mr. A, featured Jennie’s name and logo, and falsely alleged parental ties, sparking widespread misinformation about her background. Jennie, who has never disclosed details about her father, faced a surge in fake news, prompting her agency OA Entertainment to take legal action in September 2023.
By December 24, 2024, with legal support from Yulchon LLC, OA filed a lawsuit demanding a full ban on the book and related materials. The court found Mr. A’s claims baseless, citing Jennie’s official family registry as evidence.
The ruling bars Mr. A and his publisher from distributing the book, referencing Jennie in any media, or posting about her online. Though no fines were issued, the defendant is liable for all legal fees, marking a firm stance against false identity exploitation and AI-generated misinformation.
