The statement reads, “This is YG Entertainment. We have officially requested the police to investigate the original distributor of BLACKPINK Jennie’s personal photographs. We have been monitoring the situation and submitted our complaint in September after gathering information.” Also Read – BTS’ Kim Taehyung and Jennie’s dating rumours reach insane level as plans to confront latter surface; Blinks furious over privacy invasion

It said it did the same to “minimize the damage” but they said they felt a “sense of responsibility” as it was no longer possible to ignore the same. The statement read, “It was no longer possible to condone the mass spread of rumors, criticism, personal attacks, sexual harassment, and privacy violations that were coming with the personal photographs. Therefore, we would like to clarify that we are taking legal action to rectify the situation.” Also Read – BTS member Kim Taehyung-Jennie dating rumours: After Yeontan, BLACKPINK singer Jisoo’s name also crops up; here’s what happened

It further said, “The act of sharing these photos can be considered a secondary offense and subject to legal punishment. We sincerely ask you to avoid recklessly sharing them.”
