Hasi 4 crew "Kim Ji-min, '19 gold BJ activity' controversy... refrain from rumors"

The production team of Heart Signal 4 opened up about the controversy that Heart Signal 4 performer Kim Ji-min had engaged in sensational broadcasting activities in the past.

On the 10th, the production team of Heart Signal 4 announced, "As a result of confirming the facts through the person concerned, we would like to state clearly that it is not true that Kim Ji-min conducted exposure and sensational broadcasts on Afreeca TV."

"The controversial capture image and broadcast case were identified as originating from an account that Jimin Kim, who was a high school student at the time, was active as 'study with me' while preparing for the college scholastic ability test (CSAT) on Afreeca TV." said.

In addition, "At the time, after the entrance exam, Kim Ji-min conducted a simple talk live broadcast with her sister on the account. However, due to the sister's outfit wearing a crop top, it was classified as sexual content due to the nature of African TV broadcasting, and the broadcast ended immediately. However, the captured images are spreading maliciously."

Lastly, "Kim Ji-min is a non-celebrity performer who is currently attending university. We ask that you refrain from unfounded rumors or speculative reports so that performers do not suffer damage due to issues that have not been clearly confirmed, such as this controversy." added.

Previously, articles about Jimin Kim working as a BJ on the internet broadcasting platform Africa TV in the past are spreading around the online community.

The activity period was 2018, and Kim Ji-min, born in 2000, was a minor. The problem was that Kim Ji-min's broadcast concept was sensational.
