Evan Mock Responds to Dating Rumors with BLACKPINK’s Rosé, “Please be Kind”
Recently, Evan Mock published an Instagram story, which simply said, “Please be kind”. He also reportedly unfollowed BLACKPINK’s Rosé on this SNS platform around the same time, sparking speculations that this is due to constant negative rumors from Rosé’s fans.
It is known that fans of the BLACKPINK member reacted negatively when rumors emerged about Rosé being in a relationship with Evan. Some dug up his old controversies, while others insisted the rumors were false, bringing up alleged “evidence”.
Meanwhile, neither Rosé nor Evan made any official statement regarding the rumors about their relationship.
Additionally, previously on January 25, a topic titled “Evan Mock was dating when he took the photo with Rosé” was published on the Korean forum Pann Nate, drawing massive attention with almost 80 thousand views.
The aforementioned topic pointed out that Evan Mock’s ex-girlfriend, Gray Sorrenti, still published photos of the male model in August – which was when Evan Mock shot the “toxic till the end” MV with Rosé. This means that photos of Rosé and Evan Mock together were taken when Evan Mock was still dating his ex-girlfriend, so the two couldn’t have been dating.
Additionally, fans pointed out that Gray Sorrenti is YSL’s dedicated photographer, and as the global ambassador of Saint Laurent, Rosé would be meeting the ex-girlfriend often. Therefore, it makes no sense for Rosé to date the guy that this photographer was seeing.
Meanwhile, previously on January 14, a topic titled “Rumors are circulating about Evan Mock and Rosé” was published on the Korean forum Instiz, drawing attention.
This topic attached several alleged images of BLACKPINK’s Rosé being spotted together with Evan Mock – who starred together with her in the MV for Rosé’s solo track, “toxic till the end” – in Hawaii, earlier within the year.
However, various people have been “exposing” Evan for various controversies, which ranges from smoking weed (particularly marijuana), participating in inhumane hunting of animals, and being a supporter of Donald Trump (who has various controversial views, many of which misogynistic and homophobic, and was even found liable for sexual assault).
Images of Evan Mock kissing men were also dug up, leading to harsh comments
As a result, many netizens took to SNS to criticize Rosé for being close with Evan Mock. However, most defend the female idol, saying that it’s taking things too far to condemn Rosé for things another person does.
Below are some comments from netizens:
- Whether they’re dating or not… Marijuana is probably legal in Evan’s place, and Rosé isn’t smoking it either, so what’s the problem… Being bisexual also isn’t a crime
- This is probably a hater targeting Rosé. Evan Mock’s doings ain’t any of her business?
- Rosé, please stay away from a weed user
- Don’t associate with people like him, Rosé
