Jisoo recently distanced herself from her brother's sexual assault scandal, flew to Cannes, France for an event, and made her first appearance at the Met Gala as a Dior global brand ambassador. However, Belgian designer Benjamin Bortmans recently claimed that "Jisoo stole my clothes," accusing Jisoo of failing to return clothes he sent her six months ago.
According to South Korean media outlet Chosun Ilbo, Botmans, a designer for the fashion brand Judassime, recently tagged Jisoo on the brand's official Instagram account, saying, "Please give me back my things," and further stating, "Jisoo took my things."

Botmans stated that he provided Judassime clothing to Jisoo and her team to assist with the album cover shoot; however, six months later, he had not received the items back. He repeatedly inquired about the return progress, but Jisoo's team kept delaying. Left with no other option, Botmans filed a lawsuit, but Jisoo's side has yet to respond.
This accusation quickly caused a stir on Korean online forums, and Jisoo's team seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter and began to address it. In a newly released video today (May 6), Botmans stated that Jisoo's side had proposed a solution, and he was sending someone to South Korea to personally retrieve the items.
