Singer Rose (Blackpink) recently became the cover girl for i-D magazine.
In the interview, she confided about her music career, the production process of her upcoming album “rosie” and the difficulties and pressures that Kpop idols face.
While talking about idol dating and other strict standards of the Kpop industry, the interviewer asked Rose what she thought about the group NewJeans' recent uprising against HYBE Group.
Rose raised her eyebrows and shook her head slightly: "I want to talk about positive things. I love these girls so much."
The audience thinks that Rose does not want to mention HYBE's conflict at this time, but still shows her support for NewJeans. The Blackpink member is praised for her smart and delicate response.
On November 13, NewJeans sent a letter to management company ADOR stating that they would terminate the exclusive contract if major violations were not resolved within 14 days.
In it, NewJeans mentioned HYBE's internal report stating that it was necessary to "eliminate" NewJeans and create a new one. The members requested ADOR to take appropriate measures to deal with HYBE's decision.
Recently, when receiving the Daesang trophy (grand prize) at the Korea Grand Music Awards 2024, NewJeans thanked fans for giving the group the motivation to overcome difficulties.
“We don’t know how long we’ll be NewJeans, but I think the bond between the five of us and Bunnies is indestructible, so let’s stick together until the end,” Hanni said.
Finally, Danielle declared: “Even though we are no longer NewJeans, NewJeans will never die.”
According to Koreaboo, when NewJeans spoke, Soyeon - leader of (G)I-DLE and member Sieun of StayC were seen shedding tears under the artist seats.
