BLACKPINK’s Rosé Faces Criticism for Instagram Post Amid Korea’s Wildfire Crisis, Fans Rush to Her Defense

However, this wave of charitable giving has unexpectedly led to backlash against those perceived as staying silent—BLACKPINK’s Rosé being one of them.
Rosé came under fire for sharing an Instagram story that highlighted a fan account’s breakdown of her recent outfit. Along with the post, she wrote, “These are a few of my favorite things…”

Shortly after, a viral post on Nate Pann criticized the idol, stating, “Wow. She didn’t even donate and is too busy flaunting her luxury items. LOL.”

Despite the criticism, many fans rallied behind Rosé, calling the backlash unfair and pointing out that BLACKPINK members seem to be singled out more often than others in similar situations.
One commenter noted, “People were hating on Jennie earlier today, and now that Jisoo’s donation has been confirmed, they’re turning on Rosé. These netizens never stop.”
Another added, “Why is BLACKPINK the only group getting dragged for this? Other idols have donated individually, and some didn’t at all. But the only ones being harassed are BLACKPINK.”

Fans also questioned the notion that donations should be demanded, with comments like, “Stop forcing people to donate. Did you even donate yourself?”
Others pointed out that the Instagram post might be related to work commitments, “That’s clearly an advertisement. She’s working. What’s the issue?”
This incident marks the second time a BLACKPINK member has been caught in a similar controversy surrounding the ongoing disaster relief efforts—highlighting the scrutiny that the group continues to face, even during national crises.
