In response, Jisoo’s legal team has swiftly reiterated her total disconnection from her brother’s situation, highlighting that her flourishing career stands separate from family issues.

The video spread widely again on April 21, just as details of the separate criminal allegations began to circulate.

She described an incident from when she was five. Her brother warned her that smoke from a disinfectant truck was dangerous and “like a demon.” He told her to run to higher ground.

I injured my head and was bleeding from my head and face,” she said. When she cried out, “Oppa! I’m bleeding!” she recalled him responding, “So what! Just run!”After the truck passed, she said he told her, “I saved you.” She also remembered people reacting with shock as she walked home, saying, “Oh my, what happened to her?” When she told her brother she was badly hurt, he replied, “It’s okay, something worse could have happened.”
Her family later treated the wound at home without a hospital visit.
