A recent revelation about BLACKPINK’s Jennie has taken the internet by storm, sparking discussions about her alleged father’s connection to one of South Korea’s most prominent chaebol families.

A Korean media outlet reported that Kim Hyung Jin, a public figure, and author, is allegedly BLACKPINK Jennie’s father. Kim Hyung Jin has recently released a book titled World Informant (literal translation), which is reportedly inspired by Jennie’s life. The book explores a scenario where global stars Jennie and PSY engage in a simulation at an international AI robot camera center, a concept that has intrigued many fans.

Kim Hyung Jin’s Connection to South Korea’s Chaebols

What has caught the public’s attention is Kim Hyung Jin’s background, as netizens quickly uncovered more information about him. According to his author introduction, Kim Hyung Jin is the son of the late Im Dae Hong, the founder of Miwon, South Korea’s leading brand of MSG, which operates under the large conglomerate Daesang Group.

The connection becomes even more interesting when considering that Im Dae Hong’s granddaughter, Im Se Ryung, is known as the ex-wife of Samsung heir Lee Jae Yong. Currently, Im Se Ryung is dating actor Lee Jung Jae, adding another layer of intrigue to the story.

Adoption and Familial Ties

Netizens have also speculated about Kim Hyung Jin’s adoption, as his last name is not “Im” but “Kim.” It has been suggested that he was born out of wedlock and later adopted by parents with the last name “Kim.”

“Why is his last name Kim if he’s the son of the Im family?”
“He was born out of wedlock, and apparently his adoptive parents are Kims.”

This revelation has led to speculation that if Kim Hyung Jin is indeed Jennie’s father, she would be half-cousins with Im Se Ryung. Adding to the intrigue, Jennie’s biological mother is known to be a fan of Lee Jung Jae, whose character in a drama is Jennie’s namesake, making the connection even more full-circle.

As the public continues to piece together these connections, Odd Atelier, Jennie’s management, has yet to provide a statement regarding these revelations.
