During a recent appearance at The Howard Stern Show, BLACKPINK‘s Rosé sparks controversy with her response to jealousy among her members, generating criticism of her and the interviewer for asking this problematic question.
Amid the K-Pop idol conversation with the show host, he asked her, “Do you think they [the members] are jealous of your success?” to which she answered, exposing the love and support the girl group members have for each other.
“Not at all, I think, no, no, because I think we all know we all are kind of doing this simultaneously from the group and going on to solo. We kind of all understand how much work went behind this kind of being independent, so every time, we just bond about all of our experiences and stuff, so it’s really wholesome and stuff. They always check in on me. I love them; they’re like my family and sisters”.
Despite her sweet response, many fans criticized her and compared her with her member for allowing this inappropriate question: “Jennie would never participate in an interview where they could be asking her that type of embarrassing questions”, “imagine thinking THIS diva is jealous of rosé of all people ????? 😭😭😭😭😭”.
However, there are others who defend her, assuring this was a problematic question: “I don’t even stan them, but damn, what a nasty ass question. Omg, always pitting women against eo”, “that annoying ass mf really wanted to get some drama out of her”, “but she fvking did her thang, she replied like always with any question: with a smart, classy reply”.
