Rosé (BLACKPINK) was criticized by fans for her trick of bringing up her ex-boyfriend to expose her

The hottest question on social media right now is "Who is the bad boyfriend who broke Rosé's heart?". The BLACKPINK singer did something rare in Kpop: She publicly revealed that she had dated and used that as inspiration to compose her new album rosie.

Many famous male stars have been named by netizens, suspected of being Rosé's ex-boyfriends. These include Jungkook (BTS), Cha Eun Woo, skateboarder Jason Choi and even Jaden Smith - the son of a famous actor.

In interviews, Rosé 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 Rosé's solo album "rosie" are said to be influenced by the pain caused by her toxic relationship with her ex.

When the MV "Toxic Till The End" was released, fans continued to collect more data that was said to be the characteristics of Rosé's ex-lover. Many speculated that Rosé's ex-lover could be the guy who looks like the male lead in the MV - male model, actor and skateboarder Evan Mock. In this MV, Evan Mock has a buzz cut dyed pink. He has 2 clear hobbies: skateboarding and playing chess.

Initially, most of the audience supported the female idol and criticized her bad boyfriend. However, things took an unexpected turn, and Rosé was suddenly turned 180 degrees by the public because they thought she was using tricks and exploiting their relationship to promote her album. The male stars suspected of being Rosé's boyfriends also suffered because they were harassed, questioned, and blamed by her fans. Some people had to speak up because the backlash was so fierce, even though they were not Rosé's ex-boyfriends.

Currently, skateboarder Jason Choi is one of the characters suspected of being Rosé's ex-boyfriend. In the MV toxic till the end, the male lead character has a skateboarding scene. Back in 2022, Rosé often carries a skateboard everywhere and even uses a skateboard-shaped phone case. The BLACKPINK singer once followed Jason Choi on a private account, and this skateboarder posted a story with a photo of a rose.

As speculations exploded, netizens flooded Jason Choi's personal page to ask for clarification, even bothering him for hurting Rosé. In response to the wave of anger from netizens, the athlete denied the dating rumors and asked netizens to leave him alone. On his personal page, Jason Choice wrote: "I am not BLACKPINK's Rosé's ex. I'm just a crazy fan. I don't know how I became her ex, I'm confused too. And please don't be rude, thank you!"

Another character mentioned a lot is Jaden Smith - the son of actor Will Smith. First, the actor in the MV toxic till the end has a similar style and pink hair like Jaden Smith. Will Smith's son is also quite close to BLACKPINK, and was even seen hanging out with Rosé alone at Coachella 2019. He also mentioned Rosé's name in the song Your Voice.

Especially last year, Jaden Smith still met and happily took pictures with BLACKPINK. If Jaden Smith was a bad, toxic boyfriend that made Rosé hate him, then maybe she wouldn't want to meet him. So far, Jaden Smith has not responded to this rumor.

Besides the harsh opinions towards Rosé, there are still many netizens who think that the trick of snitching and telling stories about ex-lovers in music products is not a new method and trick to the point of being criticized. Previously, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and many international artists have also used past love stories as inspiration for their music products. They are all supported by the general audience.
