In a whirlwind of excitement and unexpected drama, BLACKPINK’s Rosé, Lisa, and Jisoo are making headlines for very different reasons. From sweet moments shared with fans to tackling controversies head-on, the trio is keeping their loyal supporters on their toes as they navigate the lead-up to their highly anticipated tour.
On July 3, Rosé took to her Finstagram, Vampirehollie, to share a delightful glimpse into her day off before the Deadline tour kicks off. The singer enjoyed a cozy movie date with friends at the luxurious Megabox COEX, where she watched the newly released F1 film in a private suite. Fans couldn’t get enough of her radiant demeanor as she sipped wine and munched on popcorn, dubbing the outing “the cutest way ever.” The highlight of the evening? Rosé’s adorable reaction when her own song “Messy” played during the film, leaving her blushing and smiling as the credits rolled.
As excitement builds for the tour, whispers of a potential collaboration with Bruno Mars have fans buzzing. Rosé fueled the speculation by tagging him in an Instagram Story, and reports of the two being spotted together at Dosan Park only added to the frenzy. However, not all reactions have been positive. Some critics took aim at Rosé for “flexing” her song, suggesting that Bruno Mars has performed for much larger crowds. Yet, his fans quickly defended her, emphasizing that both artists share a genuine friendship, something the naysayers might not fully grasp.
Meanwhile, on July 2, Lisa brought joy to fans with an impromptu live session on Bubble, where she prepared one of her favorite Thai dishes—spicy papaya salad. The casual livestream was a hit, showcasing her cooking skills and playful spirit. However, it also served as a moment of reassurance for fans concerned about a previous Instagram post that showed blood near her ear. Lisa addressed the incident, confirming it was an accident and expressing gratitude for the support, all while flashing her signature smile.
In another corner of the entertainment world, Jisoo is facing scrutiny over her role in the upcoming film adaptation of the popular web novel, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint. As the resilient character Lee Jihye, she has drawn attention not for her performance but for a significant change in her character’s weapon choice. In the film, Jisoo’s character wields a gun instead of the sword she is known for in the original story, prompting some fans to voice their discontent.
The production company, Realize Pictures, responded to the backlash, clarifying that the decision was a creative choice aimed at maintaining visual balance in the film. The CEO explained that varied weaponry was essential to keep the film’s tone dynamic and engaging, rather than overly heavy.
As these stars navigate their respective challenges and triumphs, fans are left wondering what’s next for Rosé, Lisa, and Jisoo. Will the excitement of the tour overshadow the controversies, or will the discussions continue to unfold?
