YG Entertainment Responds To The Ridiculous Drug Allegations Against BLACKPINK’s Rosé
BLACKPINK‘s Rosé recently faced malicious rumors about drug allegations. YG Entertainment has responded to those rumors and addressed the consequences of the “ridiculous” allegations.
On April 11, Riccardo Tisci, the former chief creative officer of Burberry, shared photos from a visit to what appears to be the well-known, luxurious mansion owned by fashion designer and entrepreneur Eva Chow.
In the photo, netizens noticed BLACKPINK’s Rosé and actor Kang Dong Won amongst the guests.
When the photo was shared online, some netizens claimed that they saw evidence of drugs on the table, including a white powder.
After the photos were posted and rumors of drug use were released, the post was immediately taken down by Riccardo.
Netizens found proof that the allegations were false, and one BLACKPINK account shared that they’d sent an email to YG Entertainment demanding legal action for the defamation.
