BLACKPINK’s Rosé Opens Up About Dealing With Anxiety

BLACKPINK‘s Rosé recently drew attention by replying to a fan who asked her if she supports gay rights.

It was very much like I was queer in the abstract,” they said. That is not a thing that can happen,” Mac said, echoing an argument my colleague David Mack recently made about the flawed discourse.

Still, not everyone is content with how Blackpink handles questions about sexuality, even if the members have a right to keep their private lives private.

Despite giving a very simple answer, netizens have revealed to have mixed feelings about her reaction.

The K-Pop girl group is in the midst of their “BORN PINK” world tour which has been noted for their unforgettable interactions with their fans at every stop and show they perform.

“You find your community by being subtle about it and signaling it in different ways, whether that's the way you dress or certain media that you're into.”

Mac, who is from Wyoming originally, agreed. “I could not imagine having a job where you could never confirm anything about your sexuality and literally millions of people across the globe are overanalyzing every interaction you have with a person.”

And while Blackpink and other K-pop groups have facedaccusations of queerbaiting in the past, fans who spoke with BuzzFeed News were adamant that this backlash felt unfair.

“Real people can’t queerbait.

Civil unions for same-sex couples are illegal there, and only 38% of the public supports marriage for gay couples, according to a 2021 Gallup Korea poll. “I grew up in a place where I had a lot of fear of being beaten up in the locker rooms, where I couldn't talk about my partners.

The farewell to one of her events in Chicago was no different as Rosé iconically responded to a fan’s question.

The fan asked “she supports gay rights”, and the idol wordlessly made a “rock on” gesture with her hands and made a “woo” sound as she passed by.

There are no existing national laws that ban discrimination against LGBTQ people. After the publication of the clip, Internet users began to debate with their different opinions.

#BLACKPINK’s #ROSÉ was asked if she supports gay rights at a recent send off. “My question is getting married and getting a house, why is that the state quo of being happy?”

Rosé then went on to share why she thought this, but also confirmed her relationship status, by explaining, “Some people have miserable experiences there, and sometimes I feel so happy I’m like a single girl.”

When the video was shared, netizens loved Rosé’s response but also said that now she’s confirmed her “single” status, that fans can stop shipping her with other idols.

While many felt that she should have responded in a better way, others even called her homophobic. In response, Rosé shouted, “Woo!” and lifted her hand up in a “rock on” symbol — an answer that Lex found profoundly lukewarm.

BLACKPINK‘s Rosé has revealed her relationship status.

The idol recently appeared on the comedy podcast Therapuss with Jake Shane.

During the video, when hearing fans’ worries, one explained that they felt worried because her friends were getting married, but she wasn’t close to that stage in her life.

When the statement was read, Rosé questioned the idea that getting married and having a house should be the standard of happiness.

South Korea has very few out celebrities, and earlier this year, one of K-pop’s most prominent gay idols, Holland, was attacked in Seoul in an anti-LGBTQ hate crime.

However, for some queer fans, the contrast between Korea’s regressive LGBTQ culture and K-pop’s queer imagery feels poignantly familiar.

“I remember growing up in the Midwest when gay was still a slur, and if you knew you were queer in any way, you're not gonna get explicit about it,” Lex, a 27-year-old former educator living in the Midwest, told BuzzFeed News.
