Prosecutors have arrested and charged a woman in her 20s for allegedly stalking a famous musician. The investigation found that the woman impersonated the musician and sent threatening messages to a colleague at the musician's management company, THEBLACKLABEL.
Between March and June 2024, the suspect posted dozens of blog posts impersonating the famous musician. He also sent direct messages to the musician’s personal social media accounts as part of his surveillance.
The suspect also repeatedly sent threatening messages to other employees at THEBLACKLABEL and spread false information to investors, claiming that "there were problems within the company".
During police questioning, the suspect admitted to the allegations but claimed that she was actually a musician hired by the company. However, according to police, she did not provide any credible evidence to support this claim.
Police initially referred the suspect to prosecutors without detaining her. However, prosecutors detained her and formally charged her. The move appears to be a precautionary measure to prevent further crimes, given the suspect's history of similar crimes.
Many sources from Korean media said that this suspect is an anti-fan who spread false rumors about Jennie of Blackpink.
Many viewers also left comments: "The impersonator who has been spreading rumors about Jennie on Nate Pann almost every day since 2021 has finally been caught."
"No wonder everything has been so quiet lately. Seriously, Jennie must have gone through a lot since her debut" - another viewer commented.
