After the MV "Toxic Till The End" by Rose (Blackpink) was released, fans are searching for the identity of the guy introduced as the female singer's ex-lover.
Rose once affirmed in an interview that the pain from her toxic relationship with her ex had a great impact on her life and most of the songs in Rose's solo album "rosie" were composed based on this personal experience.
In "Toxic Till The End", Rose describes her ex as "jealous, possessive" and "subtly manipulative".
Notably, Rose introduced a segment she considered the most interesting on the album, which is also the lyrics of "Toxic Till The End": "I can forgive you for a lot of things, when you didn't give me back my Tiffany ring. But there's one thing I can't forgive, you wasted my best years."
The lyrics “You didn’t give me back my Tiffany ring” have gone viral on social media. Many fans have left comments asking for the ring back for the Blackpink singer, criticizing her ex-lover as a scammer and a bad person.
However, in a recent interview, Rose explained more about the lyrics of "Toxic Till The End". She said: "No one stole my Tiffany ring. It was just a detail I created. Everyone is curious, who stole her ring?".
The point I was trying to make was in the last line “You made me waste my best years”. He didn’t steal my Tiffany ring.
I used a lot of metaphors as well as personal experiences to describe a toxic relationship that any of us can encounter.”
Rose's inclusion of false details in songs about her ex-lovers has caused controversy.
Some opinions say that this affects the boys suspected of being Rose's ex-lovers (like Jaden Smith, Jungkook), when many overzealous fans have made rude comments to "demand rings" for their idols.
But others say that using metaphors and fictional details in music products is a very normal thing that many other artists have done.
There is a comment explaining that Tiffany & Co. is the brand that Rose is currently a global ambassador for, Tiffany is also famous for its wedding rings, so Rose's lyrics have a hidden meaning, forgiving her ex-lover even though he couldn't give her a wedding ring (a happy ending in love).
