The ex-lover of female idol Rose (Blackpink) is becoming famous in the Kpop fan community, although his identity is not made public.
In interviews, Rose revealed that she had an ex who had a huge impact on her life, to the point where she wrote several songs about him. Most of the songs on Rose’s solo album “rosie” are said to be influenced by the pain caused by her toxic relationship with her ex.
As the MV "Toxic Till The End" was released, fans continued to collect more data that was said to be the characteristics of Rose's ex.
Many speculate that Rose’s ex-lover could be the guy who looks like the male lead in the MV – model, actor, and skateboarder Evan Mock. In this MV, Evan Mock has a buzz cut and is dyed pink. He has two obvious hobbies: skateboarding and playing chess.
Netizens also pointed out similarities between the "Toxic Till The End" MV and some hints about Rose's past love life. In 2022, Rose shared her hobby of learning to skateboard, even decorating her phone case with stickers about it.
Many faces are being speculated to be the ex-lover of the Blackpink member. Among them, the most suspected person is singer and actor Jaden Smith - son of actor Will Smith.
Jaden Smith looks quite similar to the male lead in the MV "Toxic Till The End", knows how to skateboard and is also acquainted with Blackpink. At the Coachella music festival in 2019, a photo of Blackpink with Jaden Smith caused a stir on social media.
However, other viewers argued that Jaden Smith could not be the "toxic" boyfriend that Rose described, because at Coachella last year, Blackpink members, including Rose, still took close, comfortable photos with Jaden Smith and Willow Smith.
Another face that Chinese netizens suspect is model and singer Mika. He is said to look very similar to Evan Mock in the music video "Toxic Till The End".
Mika also enjoys playing chess and skateboarding. In the Blackpink group, Mika only follows Rose and has shared Rose's songs, expressing his love for her.
In addition, skateboarder Jason Choi had to speak up to clarify when there were continuous comments questioning him as Rose's ex-boyfriend.
"I'm not Rose's ex, guys. I'm a huge fan of hers anyway. And I don't know how I ended up being Rose's ex. I'm so confused. And please don't be rude, thank you," Jason Choi wrote.
