An overseas designer claims that BLACKPINK's Jisoo has not returned the costume she wore. Benjamin Voortmans, a designer from the emerging fashion brand 'JUDASSIME' based in Antwerp, Belgium, recently posted on his social media, claiming 'BLACKPINK's Jisoo stole my things.' He said, 'Six months ago, I sent many items to Jisoo and her team in Korea for album cover production. However, the schedule has been postponed since then. It seems they do not even understand what the situation is. I said, 'I don't mind if the schedule is delayed. But I want to know when the items will be returned.' Normally, I only allow items to be lent for a maximum of one week to one month. Yet, even today, no one has responded.' He claimed, 'There are three very important pieces included in my last collection, and they are quite expensive. I have started taking legal action and sent them a contract, but no one has replied. I hope someone from that team regains their sanity and returns my things. I don't even want to shoot with them anymore. I just want my items back. Honestly, I don't care if Jisoo uses them for her album cover shoot or not.' He expressed his displeasure. Benjamin Voortmans later released an additional video with a statement about 'misunderstandings regarding Jisoo.' He stated, 'I have never attacked Jisoo. I just used her name to get a response from that team,' and added, 'I just want my things back.' • BLACKPINK's Jisoo wins Rising Star Award at Cannes International Series Festival • BLACKPINK's Jisoo's older brother's 'monthly boyfriend' credit was misprinted...
