BLACKPINK's Rosé On K-Pop Dating Rules
“Yeah, it was not normal. It isn’t normal…”
If you know, you know — the K-pop girlies cannot discuss their love lives leading to much speculation. Earlier this year, BLACKPINK’s Lisa soft launched her French beau, Frederic Arnauld in the single, “Moonlit Floor.” Following the success of her single “APT,” BLACKPINK’s Rosé opens up about K-pop dating rules.
“Wait, can we say this?” Rosé reflected mid-interview. “Maybe this is too much. Should we not?” According to her, fear of vulnerability and industry rules have made it difficult to open up. “It’s not even crazy things, to be honest. It’s very normal things” she’s gearing up to share on the album. She added: ”Romance. But even that — it’s scary for me.”
K-pop agencies strictly reject stars having a public dating life. Most speculate it’s because ”They want fans to feel as if idols are in a relationship with them,” interviewer Lulu Garcia-Navarro shared.
Rosé acknowledged the rule is quite absurd. But in her ”toxic till the end” music video, released right before her album, she was featured with a male romantic lead, Evan Mock.
At the time of the interview, she said: “Yeah, it was not normal,” in regard to dating rules. “It isn’t normal. But also it’s just not normal for me too. I had never really spoken about it too, because I feel like there’s no need for me to ever confirm anything or talk about it. But that’s why this album means a lot to me, because these things are just inspirations for my art. I do want to make sure that that’s very well addressed: The fact that it’s not about the story of who Rosie has been with or whatever. It’s really more about the art.”
