Are Jisoo’s Fans Spreading Rumors About Rosé? HYBE Report Raises Questions

A recently leaked report from HYBE has ignited discussions within the K-pop community, focusing on BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, her fanbase, and the dynamics among her fans. The report highlights that Jisoo’s fanbase is especially strong in East Asia, particularly in China, rather than in South Korea or North America. This regional support is also shared by fellow BLACKPINK member Lisa, indicating a trend where fans from East Asia play a significant role in their popularity.

Jisoo’s Fans React to Dior’s Social Media Post

One notable event mentioned in the report involves Jisoo’s ambassadorship with Dior. Dior’s official Instagram account posted a collective image featuring its ambassadors, including Jisoo and South Korean figure skater Kim Yuna. The thumbnail, however, displayed Kim Yuna instead of Jisoo, sparking frustration among Jisoo’s fans, who felt that Dior’s choice overlooked Jisoo’s massive influence, especially in boosting brand sales in Asia.

Jisoo’s fans voiced their disappointment on social media, arguing that Jisoo's fanbase significantly contributes to Dior’s success. In response to the feedback, Dior uploaded a dedicated post featuring Jisoo alone, which helped resolve the matter and satisfy her fans.

HYBE’s report also referenced past rumors surrounding BLACKPINK’s Rosé. In 2023, Rosé was subject to drug-use rumors after Riccardo Tisci, the former creative director of Burberry, posted a photo from a party in Los Angeles. Some netizens speculated about her involvement, although the claims lacked substance and were quickly dismissed. Additionally, Rosé’s rumored dating connection with actor Kang Dong Won surfaced after they were seen seated together at the event, and fans noted matching outfit choices as “evidence.”

Interestingly, HYBE’s report suggested that Jisoo’s fanbase may have contributed to the spread of these rumors about Rosé. This revelation has sparked conversations within the BLACKPINK fandom, raising concerns about fan dynamics and the complexities of loyalty within multi-member groups.

Fans Call for Unity Amid Controversy

The leaked report has stirred emotions within BLACKPINK’s fandom, with fans debating the accuracy and fairness of the claims. Many fans, however, are calling for unity, urging fandoms to support each member equally without fueling rumors or conflicts. They emphasize the importance of appreciating each member’s unique contributions and focusing on positive support rather than divisive behavior.

This incident also highlights the influence of social media, where even minor actions can lead to significant reactions and misinterpretations. Fans hope that by prioritizing support for all BLACKPINK members, they can foster a healthier, more positive environment in the K-pop community.
