Rosé, BLACKPINK’s lead singer, slays with her captivating voice, elegant vibe, and “muse” persona that fans totally stan. But K-pop isn’t just music—it’s a battlefield where scandals can blow up in a hot minute.
From shady party rumors to dating gossip and IG slip-ups, Rosé’s been dragged into the mess more than once. So, are these just haters spreading cap, or is there some tea here?
1. The Sketchy Party Pic and Drug Allegations
In April 2023, Allkpop dropped a post about Rosé at a private party hosted by designer Eva Chow. Things were chill until a viral pic showed her near an ashtray with some sus white powder on the table. The internet went wild, accusing her of using drugs.
YG Entertainment clapped back, denying the claims and threatening to sue anyone spreading fake news. In K-pop, where image is everything, one blurry pic can tank a star’s rep. Truth is, that photo proves nada—those “powders” could be anything, and Rosé being at a party doesn’t mean she’s doing anything shady. Still, the damage was done, and the haters had their field day.
2. Dating Rumors with Kang Dong Won
What happens when a K-pop queen and a big-shot actor are spotted together? Yup, dating rumors go brrr
Rosé and Kang Dong Won (16 years her senior) were seen at a fashion event and a private hangout, sparking mad speculation. YG was like, “Nah, they’re just colleagues,” but K-pop fans know that line’s straight-up sus. Still, there’s zero hard evidence of a romance. If we’re calling it love just ‘cause they’re in the same room, that’s a weak flex.
3. The Instagram Fumble
On January 3, 2023, Rosé posted an IG story hyping Jisoo’s birthday, using “nohhmu nohhmu” (a cute spin on “very very”). Problem? It accidentally echoed a mocking phrase tied to former South Korean President Roh Moo Hyun from a shady online forum.
Rosé fixed it quick, but the K-pop fandom’s microscope doesn’t miss a thing. One tiny slip, even unintentional, can haunt an idol’s career forever.
4. Is YG Playing Favorites with Rosé?
BLACKPINK’s got four queens, but are they all getting the same shine?
Jennie’s solo debut was a banger with a huge MV budget. Lisa’s LALISA and MONEY took over the globe. Jisoo’s FLOWER smashed records. But Rosé? Her On The Ground did solid, but fans called its promo weak AF. Some even say her family dropped hints on social media about YG lowkey sidelining her, fueling theories she’s getting the short end of the stick.
On the flip side, others argue it’s just YG’s strategy—different vibes, different plans. Who’s to say?
Rosé: Victim or Just K-pop’s Harsh Reality?
Looking at Rosé’s dramas, it’s a mixed bag:
Some scandals are straight-up misunderstandings or fans wildin’ with no proof.
But can we say she’s 100% innocent every time? Hard to tell.
Real talk: in K-pop, scandals aren’t accidents—they’re part of the game. Today it’s Rosé, tomorrow it’s someone else. What matters isn’t being a “perfect angel” or a “drama queen”—it’s how she bounces back and grows from the chaos.
Fans and haters alike need to chill and look at the facts instead of tripping over unverified gossip.
