BLACKPINK’s Rosé has sparked fervent discussion among fans after revealing she is “looking for love” while simultaneously detailing the lengths she goes to protect her personal life from public scrutiny. The K-pop icon’s candid conversation on the Call Her Daddy podcast has ignited a frenzy among BLINKS, the name given to BLACKPINK’s devoted fanbase.
During the podcast, hosted by Alex Cooper, Rosé addressed the question of whether she is currently in a relationship. Initially hesitant to provide a direct answer, she ultimately stated, “I feel if I say no, it’s such a lie, you can tell. I am looking for love.” This admission has fueled speculation and excitement within the BLACKPINK community.
However, Rosé was quick to emphasize the challenges of maintaining a private life while navigating fame. She explained that she has intentionally avoided public relationships to shield her loved ones. “I’ve never been in a public relationship, and a lot of that is because I want to protect the person I love,” she said. “It hurts more when people close to me get attacked.”
The Cost of Fame and Protecting Loved Ones
Rosé acknowledged her own comfort level with public attention, recognizing it as an inherent part of her career. However, she drew a firm line when it came to extending that scrutiny to those she cares about. “It would be unfair if someone who I care about gets dragged into it,” she explained.
The singer further elaborated on the safety concerns stemming from her dedicated fanbase. “Right now, with the fan base I’ve experienced, I don’t know if I feel completely safe,” Rosé confessed. “Maybe in the future, if I really trust the media to protect me, I’d feel more comfortable. But for now, I think a lot of people understand what that feels like.”
A Hilarious Disguise for Undetected Travel
To illustrate the extent of her commitment to privacy, Rosé recounted a remarkable story of a past relationship. She revealed that she once meticulously disguised herself as an elderly woman to avoid being recognized while traveling to see her then-boyfriend.
“I was once so paranoid that I ordered a wig online and also studied how elderly people would dress on the street,” she shared. “I studied their mannerisms, and dressed like a grandmother for months so that I can travel without getting noticed.” She described a detailed process of observation, noting, “I’d be like, ‘Okay, they wear that kind of skirt, those shoes, that kind of bag.’ I would study it, order it, and then dress up.” Rosé confirmed that maintaining secrecy was paramount, as she and her ex were unable to be seen together in public, necessitating her elaborate disguises for visits.
