Will BLACKPINK be in your area soon? That remains unclear, as fans have voiced growing frustration with YG Entertainment and the group's four members ¡ª Jisoo, Jennie, Ros¨¦, and Lisa. While reports suggest that BLACKPINK recently wrapped up filming a new music video in Seoul, some fans remain skeptical.
It has come to light that Ros¨¦ is currently in Los Angeles, with recent sightings of the idol sparking criticism online. With the group's much-anticipated ¡ª yet controversy-ridden ¡ª DEADLINE world tour fast approaching, her presence abroad has raised concerns about rehearsals and overall preparedness.
Fansites recently shared pictures of the idol in Los Angeles, prompting criticism from some netizens who questioned why she wasn't in South Korea rehearsing for the tour. Concerns about the group's readiness quickly followed, with many pointing to the lack of visible practice sessions or new music releases ahead of the DEADLINE world tour.?
Many users on X (formerly Twitter) also brought up issues from the Born Pink World Tour, where the members were criticized for frequent mistakes and a lack of synchronization on stage. With a new world tour approaching¡ªand the group having released only 32 songs over more than eight years¡ªmany BLINKs are worried the members may once again face harsh criticism.??
However, many fans came to Ros¨¦'s defense, arguing that she was being unfairly singled out. They also pointed out the lack of transparency regarding the members' individual schedules and emphasized that it was unreasonable to place the blame solely on her. Supporters also highlighted that preparing for a world tour is a collective responsibility and shouldn't rest on Ros¨¦ alone.
The incident underscores growing concerns among fans, who fear the tour may be underprepared due to unclear planning and limited promotional efforts.?
