Jisoo Outfit Controversy: Designer Says Unreturned Clothing Issue Is Being Resolved

A Jisoo outfit controversy emerged on May 6, 2026, after Korean entertainment outlets reported that designer Benjamin Bortmans claimed some clothing and items sent for Jisoo-related album cover and pictorial work had not been returned for six months. Subsequent reports said Bortmans later clarified that the matter was in the process of being resolved and that he did not intend to attack Jisoo personally.¹

The reports centered on outfits associated with the fashion brand Zudashim and claims made by Bortmans on social media. Multiple outlets, including News1, Star Today, YTN, Sports Chosun, Ilgan Sports, and SpoTV News, described the issue as a dispute over the return of garments or props sent for shooting purposes, while also noting that Jisoo’s side had not released a separate official position at the time of publication.²

Jisoo Outfit Controversy Centers on Six-Month Return Claim

News1 reported that Bortmans, identified as a designer for the fashion brand Zudashim, alleged that some of the outfits sent to Korea for Jisoo’s album cover and pictorial shoot had not been returned for six months. The outlet also reported that Bortmans later said he had received contact from the United States side, that resolution of the issue was underway, and that personnel were expected to be dispatched to Korea for the return of the clothing.¹

Star Today described Zudashim as an Antwerp, Belgium-based brand and reported that the designer said some clothing and props connected to Jisoo’s album cover shoot had not been returned after more than six months. The same report said Bortmans claimed three key pieces from a past collection were involved and that he had submitted contracts and invoices but had not received a response.²

YTN reported a similar sequence, saying Bortmans claimed on social media that several outfits had been sent to Jisoo’s side six months earlier, that the shooting schedule was delayed, and that he had not received an explanation of the situation. YTN also reported that he said he sent contracts and invoices related to three key garments but did not receive a reply.³

Sports Chosun reported that Bortmans said six months had passed since he sent clothing and items to Korea for Jisoo album cover work but that he had not received answers. The outlet also reported that, in a follow-up video, he said he was not attacking Jisoo and had used her name in order to obtain a response.⁴

Designer Later Says Matter Is Moving Toward Resolution

The same May 6 reports also included Bortmans’s later update that the dispute was being addressed. News1 reported that he said the matter was in a resolution stage after contact from the United States side and that a person would be sent to Korea to help return the clothing.¹

Star Today reported a similar update, quoting the substance of Bortmans’s social media statement that he had received contact from the United States side and that a representative was expected to be dispatched to Korea to resolve the issue.²

Ilgan Sports reported that Bortmans, whose name it rendered as Benjamin Bortmans, said some outfits sent to Korea and the United States for Jisoo’s album cover shoot had not been returned for six months. The same article said he had sent invoices and contracts for possible legal action but did not receive an answer, and later relayed that he had received contact from the United States side and that a Korea dispatch was planned.⁵

SpoTV News reported that Zudashim founder Benjamin Bortmans claimed some clothing sent to Korea for Jisoo’s pictorial shoot had not been returned. The outlet also said that in an additional video he reported receiving contact that everything was being resolved and that someone would be sent to Korea.⁶

The reports consistently framed the matter as a return dispute rather than a confirmed legal finding. The available source material contains allegations from the designer, follow-up comments about resolution efforts, and the absence of a separate public response from Jisoo’s side at the time the articles were published.

Jisoo Side Had No Separate Position in Reports

Several outlets stated that Jisoo’s side had not issued a separate position on the matter at the time of their reports. Star Today wrote that no separate position from Jisoo’s side had emerged as of its publication, while Sports Chosun also reported that Jisoo’s side had not made a related statement.²⁴

Ilgan Sports similarly concluded that there was no separate position from Jisoo’s side in its report, and SpoTV News wrote that Jisoo’s side had not released an official statement on the issue.⁵⁶

Because the available reports do not include a statement from Jisoo, her agency, or another representative responding directly to the allegations, the current public record reflected in the source material remains one-sided in terms of detailed claims. It includes Bortmans’s initial assertion that items had not been returned, his explanation that he was seeking a response rather than targeting Jisoo personally, and his later statement that the matter was being handled.

The May 6 coverage indicates that the Jisoo outfit controversy was, at the time of reporting, shifting from a public complaint about unreturned garments toward a possible resolution process. The central confirmed status across the reports is that Bortmans alleged a six-month delay, later said contact had been made and a Korea dispatch was planned, while Jisoo’s side had not issued a separate public statement in the cited reports.
