group BLACKPINK's Jenny Kim has been put on the old story for a breach of the Prevention The Cole Protocol, which bans more than five people. Although it has been explained, the controversy continues as related complaints are received.
Suspicions surrounding Jenny Kim were raised on Friday, when the post "outing" posted on the official social networking service account was launched. Seven people, including Jenny Kim and dancers, gathered together to share a picture of her holding ice cream, which was pointed out.
It was pointed out that the spread of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) was not slowing down, and that it was a private meeting for more than five people. Jenny Kim soon deleted the photo.
Nevertheless, as the controversy continued, an explanation came out. According to YG Entertainment, a subsidiary company, and the arboretum, which became the background, Jenny Kim visited a arboretum in Paju, Gyeonggi Province on the day. It was made clear that it was aimed at 'work'.
However, even if it is 'work', it is not easy to take off the suspicion of violation of Prevention The Cole Protocol. The nature of the video is revealed as 'YouTube content', and it is interpreted that another standard is applied to broadcasting.
According to an answer posted on the official website of the Seoul Metropolitan Government in February, YouTube is not an exception to the ban on private meetings because it is not a broadcast prescribed by the Broadcasting Act, the Newspaper Act and the News Communication Act.
Since the ban on private meetings of more than five people is applied nationwide for three weeks from the 12th to the 2nd of May, even if YouTube content is collected, fines may be imposed if more than five people are gathered.
A netizen received a complaint in Paju through the National Newspaper and released the contents through an online Community.
Not directly by Jenny Kim, but she was mentioned earlier with a Prevention The Cole Protocol violation. The dragon of the group BIGBANG, who is surrounded by the romance rubber, is caught smoking with a mask off the photo of the two romance rubber articles and is suspected of violating the Prevention The Cole Protocol.
