Since actor and model Evan Mock played Rose's ex-boyfriend in the MV "Toxic Till The End", he and the Blackpink member have developed a close relationship. On their personal Instagram accounts, the two posted many close, comfortable photos together.
In December 2024, the Deuxmoi news site caused a stir when it reported that Rose and Evan Mock were dating. However, this page did not provide any reliable evidence, so the rumor did not spread further.
But in January this year, dating rumors between Rose and the American actor once again exploded, when on social media a photo appeared that Rose was said to be going to Hawaii with Evan Mock's family to celebrate the New Year.
In March, netizens continued to point to suspicions of the two dating, when they thought that Rose and Evan Mock posted a photo with a "lovestagram" (a dating sign via Instagram) as a sign of 3 hearts.
On April 25, another photo was leaked online from a tourist who saw Rose and Evan Mock at a bar in Hawaii in early January.
While dating rumors once again caused a stir, on April 27, Evan Mock shared an article recounting his memories of being in Seoul (Korea).
It is not surprising that there are hundreds of comments mentioning Rose under the post, even though Evan did not mention or post a photo with the female singer.
Many comments questioned whether this was a move by Evan to implicitly acknowledge his relationship with Rose.
However, there were also many comments criticizing the actor for posting in sensitive circumstances, when dating rumors were spreading again. Some netizens have even accused Evan Mock of deleting comments that criticize him, but still holding back comments about Rose.
Evan Mock has previously caused controversy for unfollowing Rose on Instagram.
However, other netizens defended Evan, saying that Kpop fans were too sensitive and were interfering too much in his idol's private life, while Evan did not mention Rose but only randomly shared about his trip to Korea.
They guessed that Evan stopped following Rose because he was constantly attacked and bothered by extreme fans who opposed his idol's dating.
Not only Evan Mock, some other artists have also been rumored to be dating the "APT." singer. such as Jungkook (BTS), Cha Eun Woo ( Astro), Jaden Smith.
Jaden Smith is suspected of being Rose's ex-boyfriend in the MV "Toxic Till The End," but the singer denied this in an interview with Vanity Fair.
