On August 18, BLACKPINK’s Rosé appeared alongside her beloved dog Hank in Vogue Korea’s special “Dogue” edition—a feature celebrating celebrities and their pets.
Hank, a rescued dog Rosé adopted in 2020, became the face of the issue, delighting fans with a series of heartwarming photos that showcased his cozy lifestyle.
The article highlighted Rosé’s journey with Hank, offering fans a rare glimpse of her life offstage and emphasizing their strong bond. Hank’s adorable poses quickly went viral online, with many praising Vogue Korea for drawing attention to pet adoption and Rosé’s compassion toward animals.
Not everyone received the feature positively. Some netizens argued that other celebrity pets, particularly BTS Jungkook’s dog Bam, were “more deserving” of the spotlight. Critics claimed Vogue exaggerated Hank’s influence online, accusing the magazine of misleading followers about social media popularity.
The debate quickly sparked fan wars between BLINKs and ARMYs, with comments like: “Bam should’ve been featured first,” “Hank’s only famous because of Rosé” and “Why are people hating on a dog?”
Others came to Rosé’s defense: “This is getting ridiculous. Let Hank enjoy his moment” and “People are seriously mad about a dog cover?”
Despite the controversy, many fans continue to celebrate Hank’s feature, emphasizing the positive message behind the Dogue edition: the joy of adopting and loving animals. Hank’s spotlight encourages responsible pet ownership while giving fans a heartwarming look at Rosé’s life beyond the stage.
