Belgian Designer Who Accused Blackpink’s Jisoo’s Team of ‘Stealing’ Garments Says Pieces Will Be Returned

Benjamin Voortmans said the matter followed six months of unanswered requests, and he later said the garments would be retrieved.

  • On Wednesday, Belgian designer Benjamin Bortmans announced his dispute with BLACKPINK member Jisoo's team is being resolved, with arrangements underway to retrieve three 'important archive items' sent to South Korea.
  • Bortmans previously used Instagram to allege his Judassime label outfits remained unreturned six months after an album photoshoot, describing the lack of communication from the team as 'terrible.'
  • Seeking a response from her team, the designer clarified he never intended to attack Jisoo personally, explaining he publicly invoked her name solely to address the issue.
  • Jisoo arrived at The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala in New York on Monday, while her agency has not released an official statement regarding the dispute.
  • A staff member will be dispatched to South Korea to retrieve the items, concluding the situation Bortmans characterized as a 'misunderstanding' involving the singer's team.
