BLACKPINK Rosé’s Recent Appearance Fuels Strong Backlash

As BLACKPINK approaches its 10th anniversary, many fans have been waiting to see what the group will do to celebrate the big occasion. However, with a lack of announcements from YG Entertainment, many fans have pointed their feelings towards BLACKPINK themselves.

BLACKPINK Fiercely Bashed Ahead Of Group’s 10th Debut Anniversary

The latest update from BLACKPINK’s Rosé has sparked criticism and doubt all over again.

Rosé was recently spotted in Los Angeles, California, a seemingly realtime update on the idol’s activities and location. The idol was photographed by paparazzi, and was leaving The Bird Street Club, an exclusive, members only lounge.

While the content and context of the update are completely regular, it is the timing that has fans upset. The group’s anniversary is August 8, and with Rosé being sighted in the United States just two days before, in KST, many have seen it as confirmation of their concerns over the anniversary being celebrated by the group together.

As a result, fans have expressed fierce disappointment, along with criticism towards BLACKPINK as a whole.

it’s so over 😭

If she cares about BLINKs even a little, please come back to Korea already.

— OP

During the group’s 9th anniversary, they were on tour, perhaps adding to the reaction of the fans.
