In late August, a Korean media outlet, Job Post, published an article about PD Kim Hyung Jin‘s 8th long-form novel. It was alleged that in the novel, there was a mention of BLACKPINK‘s Jennie, claiming that Kim was her biological father.
The now-deleted article spawned much speculation about the alleged relationship between the two, as Jennie has not mentioned her father before.
