A Belgian fashion designer has publicly accused the team of Blackpink’s Jisoo of failing to return clothing loaned to her for an album photo shoot, later clarifying that the matter is in the process of being resolved.<\/p>\n
Benjamin Bortmans, founder of Belgian fashion label Judassime, initially claimed through a series of videos on Instagram that several garments sent to South Korea for Jisoo\u2019s album cover shoot had not been returned for over six months.<\/p>\n
The controversy began after Bortmans alleged that some pieces from his collection \u2014 which he described as \u201cimportant archive items\u201d \u2014 remained unreturned despite repeated attempts to contact those involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cSix months ago, I sent multiple pieces for Jisoo\u2019s album cover project,\u201d Bortmans said in one of the earlier videos that has since been deleted. \u201cSome of them were very important archive pieces and extremely expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n
The brand\u2019s official social media account also tagged Jisoo\u2019s account in posts demanding the return of the garments. In the video, Bortmans claimed he had sent invoices and contracts related to the items in preparation for possible legal action, but had received no response.<\/p>\n
In a follow-up video posted Wednesday, Bortmans said he had received news \u201cthat everything is being solved,\u201d adding that he was informed that arrangements would be made to retrieve the items. However, after posting the follow-up video, Bortmans began receiving criticism online from people who argued he was unfairly calling out Jisoo over an issue that may not have been directly her responsibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never attacked Jisoo. … I put her name in the title of the video to have a response from her team,\u201d he said. \u201cI used her name because it was a part of the shoot and her name was everywhere in all the emails and documents.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that he harbored no negative feelings toward the singer and he loves \u201ceverything she does and what she stands for.\u201d Bortmans nevertheless criticized the lack of communication surrounding the issue, saying it was \u201cterrible\u201d to go months without receiving any response regarding the missing items.<\/p>\n
As of press time, Jisoo’s agency was not available for comment on the matter.<\/p>\n
