BLACKPINK Rosé has been caught in various dating rumors, but the singer never went public with any.
Throughout her career, BLACKPINK Rosé has been in various rumored relationships with Korean idols and actors. There was also a time the idol is said to be in a relationship with the Spotify CEO, Jeremy Erlich.
1. BTS Jungkook
In 2019, Rosé released a cover of “Eyes Clouded” to celebrate her birthday. The image on the cover was that of a rose. Not long later, Jungkook introduced “Little Prince” to fans, a story about a boy who lives with a rose on another planet. Fans read between the lines and speculated the BTS member was referring to him and Rosé being in a relationship.
More evidence was published, showing that Rosé and Jungkook had various similar items and accessories.
2. Chanyeol (EXO)
In late 2018, Dispatch released a photo supposedly of EXO Chanyeol and Rosé. However, fans quickly noticed the picture was photoshopped. The poster mimicked the photo editing style that Dispatch uses for pictorial publication. The original photo was a single image of Chanyeol. Rosé was added in by photoshopped later on.
3. Mark Tuan (GOT7)
Dating rumors between GOT7 Mark Tuan and Rosé started in 2018. On two separate, seemingly unrelated posts of the two idols on the same day, Mark Tuan and Rosé captioned their photo with the same phrase: “On my way.”
In 2021, rumors circulated further when Rosé and Mark Tuan posted photos of themselves under the Eiffel Tower. This time around, Mark Tuan spoke up against the rumors.
4. Jeremy Erlich
Dating rumors between Jeremy Erlich and Rosé started with a post titled “Are Rosé and the CEO of Spotify dating?” The post compiled moments of the K-pop singer and Spotify CEO together. They were spotted attending various public and private events and reportedly stayed at the same hotel. Neither the singer nor the CEO released any statement addressing the rumors.
5. Loren
Last year, in May, Rosé was rumored to be dating Loren, the son of the founder of top web portal Naver, Lee Hae Jin. There was much published evidence proving that they were in a relationship. Nonetheless, the two remained silent in the face of circulating rumors.
6. Kang Dong Won
Most recently, Rosé was embroiled in a relationship with the Korean actor Kang Dong Won, who is 16 years older than her. The rumors started when two of them were spotted sitting near each other in a dinner party photo at Eva Chow’s residence. The photo was posted by the former chief creative officer of Burberry, Riccardo Tisci.
In response, YG Entertainment released two statements on the same day with very different stances. In the first one, YG denied knowing any information about their artist’s personal life. Nonetheless, in the second one, they actively denied the rumors.
