BREAKING NEWS: JUNG HAE-IN AND JISOO HAD A DAUGHTER.

This afternoon, it was revealed by a YouTuber that actor Jung Hae-in and actress and BLACKPINK member JISOO had a daughter. The information came from the girl's former guardian, who also revealed that Jisoo is pregnant again.

In the winter of 2015, Snowdrop premiered in Korea, stirring up some controversy, criticism, and public debate. However, it attracted an international audience, significantly increasing Western viewership and boosting both of their international careers.

According to the guardian, the actor learned that the actress had rejected the child at birth, which led the companies to arrange for the girl's adoption — she was adopted the same week she was born by the guardian and her now-deceased husband.

Eight years later, the actors contacted the guardian, asking for the child back and offering money in return. The guardian said she feared for her safety and accepted the money, giving up the girl, but now feels that she made the wrong choice and that the world deserves to know the truth.

The media outlet Dispatch confirmed the story told by the YouTuber. According to the information, JISOO and Jung Hae-in had a daughter born on January 11, 2016, while the drama was still airing. It was also reported that the guardian's late husband was a lawyer for one of the companies.

The girl's name is Jung Hae-ji, and she has been living with the couple since March of this year. Dispatch also confirmed that YG Entertainment, responsible for Jisoo's career, and FNC Entertainment, responsible for Jung Hae-in, handed over the girl, but neither of the two artists knew about or agreed with the companies' decision.

In a live broadcast, through a phone call, the guardian claimed she missed the girl, loved her, and raised her as her own. However, Dispatch revealed that the girl had been living in a boarding school since the age of three, before Hae-in and Jisoo demanded her return.

JISOO

Jaehyeok burst into the room so abruptly that he startled Haeji, waking her up. I tried to calm her down and help her fall back asleep, but he was agitated, speaking loudly and, nervous, he didn't even realize what he was saying — or where he was, or who was there — so she heard him. I looked at her, frightened. She was still drowsy.

"Oh my God..." Jaehyeok noticed Haeji's presence. "I... I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He sounded sincere, as if he were about to get on his knees and beg our forgiveness for saying too much.

"Why did my aunt say I'm your daughter?" Haeji asked again, this time more awake, looking from me to Haein for answers.

"Because..." I tried to think of something to say, make up a temporary excuse. It was still too soon for the truth, but Haein was faster:

"It's true." Haeji and I both looked at him.

"Haein..." I tried to stop him, shaking my head, but he ignored me. Haein turned to Jaehyeok. "Can you wait outside? This is more important." The manager didn't look happy at all, but still left the room. Haein stepped forward and sat in front of Haeji. I tried to stop him with a look, but he seemed determined to tell the truth right then. He sighed.

"I know." He said, as if reading my mind. "But if the story is already out, it's better that we talk to her now." Haeji looked between us, clearly wanting a straightforward answer. "Haeji, your aunt sold a story that Jisoo and I had kept secret from the public, a painful story that hurt us deeply." He held his breath for a moment, glancing over her face. I noticed he hesitated for just a second, but then inhaled, as if the air filled him with courage. "You are our daughter. Mine and Jisoo's." He said it plainly, directly, with no sugarcoating.
