Jisoo’s alleged involvement addressed

As the case gained traction, questions arose regarding Jisoo’s possible connection, particularly concerning her brother’s role in her professional affairs. However, both alleged victims clarified that Jisoo should not be implicated.One of them reportedly stated that the accusations were solely against Kim Jung Hun and should not extend to his family.
