BLACKPINK’s Rosé Face Dating Rumors due to Coachella Video, Fans Quickly Debunk

A recent video capturing BLACKPINK‘s Rosé at Coachella 2025 has gone viral, igniting a flurry of dating rumors across social media platforms. The clip, which amassed over 75,000 likes within 24 hours on the video platform TikTok, shows Rosé enjoying Jennie’s performance alongside a male companion.
The video, which was filmed at angle that makes it seems like Rosé was “kissing” her companion, leads to quick speculations. In fact, various captions and comments suggesting that BLACKPINK’s Rosé was seen with a boyfriend while watching Jennie’s Coachella set can be seen under the video.
However, dedicated fans were quick to dispel these rumors. They identified the man in question as Samuel Lim, a well-known close friend of Rosé. Further footage revealed Rosé, Samuel, and another friend collectively enjoying the festival, reinforcing the narrative of a platonic outing.
Additionally, fans pointed out that Samuel is gay, so it is literally impossible for him to have a romantic relationship with Rosé. Thus, commenters emphasized that the perceived intimacy in the video was likely a result of camera angles and timing, rather than any romantic involvement. At the same time, many praised Rosé for her genuine friendships and expressed frustration over the rapid spread of unfounded rumors.
