YG Entertainment, the agency of the world-famous K-pop band BLACKPINK, has recently released a statement addressing the false rumors surrounding one of the band members, Rose.
The online rumors regarding the band’s main vocalist’s alleged drug abuse have been resurfacing, prompting the agency to take action against those spreading the fake news. The agency clarified that the rumors regarding Rose are entirely baseless and untrue, and they are planning to take legal action against those who violate the human rights and dignity of their artist. They further stated that they will not tolerate any form of defamation or cyberbullying against their artist.
The rumors started after a photo of Rose, along with actor Kang Dong-won and others at a party, went viral on social media. However, the agency stated that the rumors regarding drug use were unfounded, and the white substance seen in the photo was not drugs.
It is unfortunate to see such false rumors being spread about a public figure, particularly a woman. It can be damaging to their reputation and personal life. Therefore, it is crucial to take swift action to protect their human rights and dignity. Meanwhile, BLACKPINK is preparing to set the Coachella 2023 stage on fire with its performances. It is heartening to see the band continuing to inspire millions of fans worldwide with their music and talent despite the baseless rumors circulating about them.
