Rosé posted an extended message addressing the tension surrounding BLACKPINK’s rocky 10th anniversary week, giving fans her most direct comments yet since the anniversary planning controversy began. The message reportedly gets personal, with Rosé opening up about her genuine feelings through everything that’s unfolded over the past several days, a notable departure from the shorter, more guarded statements the group’s members have given previously.
The message lands after a difficult stretch for the group that included YG’s last-minute anniversary planning, the arrest of a fan who damaged the label’s headquarters entrance, and Jisoo’s own emotional, tearful moment caught on camera. Rosé’s decision to speak at length, rather than issue a brief statement, is being read by many fans as an attempt to reassure BLINKs directly rather than let the label’s official statements speak for the group.
Reactions to her message have been largely supportive, with many fans saying it was the kind of honesty they’d been hoping to hear from the group throughout the entire controversy.
[It’s nice to see Rosé speak out amid all the ongoing controversies, and BLINKs are finally happy.]
