Following a national petition against BLACKPINK Jisoo's drama, "Snowdrop," the idol faced another accusation that she sued a netizen. However, Jisoo's fans immediately defended her and soon found out the accuser possibly forged documents they uploaded as proof.
Malicious Commenter Claims BLACKPINK Jisoo Filed a Lawsuit Against Them
On December 22, an internet user garnered attention after posting an article, titled, "I think I was sued by a celebrity, please ask me a question."
In the post, a photo that seems to be a police attendance request that he claimed to have received was included. The document showed that the writer wrote malicious comments about BLACKPINK Jisoo, such as "Isn't BLACKPINK Jisoo XXX?" "Change right away like XXX," and "X Jisoo's voice is also XXX."

The author further stated, "When I got home today, a document came from the police station. It's not clear whether it was written with the carrier's IP or home IP, but if you say you didn't do it during the investigation, will you be suspended from prosecution? If you are a first-time offender, and if you get a fine, how much is it?"

People sympathized with the author and replied, "If you delete the text (malicious comments), you won't be caught," "I think the fine will range from 1 million won to 4 million won," and, "Go and beg no matter what."
Nonetheless, some remained skeptical about the author's claims.
"Official documents can only be sent by mail or registration. We do not send the A4 paper in a folded form," a concerned person clarified, who seemed to have knowledge about legal processes.
They added, "In the attendance request, we are writing alternately without distinguishing between the suspect and the reference person."

Soon enough, more people raised their doubts. When asked to post a photo of the certification of the envelope from the court, the author erased the post.
Meanwhile, if the post is indeed fabricated, the author can be punished for forgery of official documents. According to Article 225 of the Criminal Act, forgery or alteration of official documents can result in imprisonment for up to 10 years.
