Summary

  • Rosé’s January comments about respecting any member’s choice to stop BLACKPINK activities have resurfaced as fan anger over the group’s 10th-anniversary event widened after the celebration.
  • On the U.S. podcast “Call Her Daddy,” she said the four members would understand if one no longer felt continuing was right and that no one should be forced to stay.
  • The renewed attention followed complaints about the fan meeting’s format, limited attendance and gifts, with rice cakes reportedly worth about 6,900 won becoming a fresh flashpoint.
  • Jisoo had already apologized before the Aug. 8 event, underscoring how closely fans are scrutinizing BLACKPINK’s group plans as the 2016-debuted act balances full-group and solo activities.
