On August 30, 2024, a Korean media outlet Job Post published an article about PD Kim Hyung Jin‘s 8th long-form novel. Although he is a highly-accoladed writer and PD himself, what caught the eye of many was how the article mentioned his relation to BLACKPINK‘s Jennie.
His new book, World Informant (literal translation), is reportedly about how world stars BLACKPINK’s Jennie and PSY undergo a simulation at an AI robot camera global center.
The article also claims that “the book is deep in meaning as it was written by PD Kim Hyung Jin, who is BLACKPINK Jennie’s biological father.” It was also further explained that he wrote the book based on real happenings in her life, from her young trainee days up to now.
The article was deleted from Job Post a few hours after it went up. Netizens managed to save screenshots from the article before it was taken down, leading to much discussion about the matter.
Jennie has been vocal about her mother, even sharing photos taken with her. On the other hand, she has never spoken publicly about her father before, sparking even more interest in his mysterious identity.
