BLACKPINK’s Rosé recent U.S. TV moment has some fans talking—but not everyone is thrilled. The singer appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show earlier this year, with clips of the moment making rounds online. On May 21, a new interview video dropped, just weeks before the group’s much-anticipated DEADLINE world tour. This sparked criticism among some fans, who are worried that the group hasn’t started rehearsals yet before the concerts begin.
Catch the newly released video here:
Decked out in a chic oversized blazer, Rosé looked stunning and had a great time with Kelly Clarkson. Fans loved seeing her lighthearted and relaxed, but others were quick to question the priorities. With BLACKPINK’s tour kicking off July 5 at Goyang Stadium in South Korea, some are asking: When will they find time to rehearse together as a full team?
The situation is part of a bigger concern. Each member has been busy with solo projects—Lisa and Jennie hit Coachella, Rosé’s solo song “Messy” for the F1 film, and Jisoo’s tied up with brand deals and acting. Their own ventures seem to be a priority still, as BLACKPINK has not released or even announced a single or album.

However, it looks like some users have misunderstood the whole thing. Many pointed out that Rosé’s Kelly Clarkson appearance happened months ago, as it dates back to January 7, 2025. Quickly, fans realised that the moment had been pre-recorded and just released up until now.
While concerns are valid, there’s hope that BLACKPINK’s reunion will bring the magic fans have been craving. For now, all eyes are on July 5—and many fans are sure it will be worth the wait.
