During the group’s send-off event after one of their concerts in Chicago, a fan asked Rosé if she “supports gay rights.” After smiling at the person who asked the question, Rosé did the “rock on” gesture with her hand and made a “woo” sound as she walked by. Since being posted, the clip has racked up over 2 million views.

Netizens immediately began debating over her actions, with many stating that she should have responded in a better way. Some even began to call her homophobic, causing the phrase “Rosé homophobic” to trend on Twitter.

BLINKs immediately came to her defense, giving a different perspective on her reaction and citing the many times she has shown support to the LGBTQIA+ community.
“Rosé do you support gay rights?”
Rosé: *cheers and blows a kiss*

Fans even recalled a moment from earlier in their tour, when Rosé reacted to a fan telling her that she had traveled to see BLACKPINK with her girlfriend. When the fan explained that she had met her girlfriend because of BLACKPINK, Rosé seemed even more touched.

BLINKs also insisted that during these special events, attendees should ask new questions instead of “putting her in a difficult situation,” and that fans should know and respect boundaries between them and the artists.
I really don't know why they call her homophobic, when she literally supports the LGBT community openly and her reaction is cute, plus I feel that blinks should praise her and ask her new questions, instead of putting her in a difficult situation, Rosé is a kind girl https://t.co/qX5CBRom2y

rosé supporting gay rights doesn't confirm her personality, sexuality, and attitude as a person— either way it's just a simple answer to a simple question. y'all just haters & hypocrites lmao know your boundaries and stop deciding over rosé’s life 🙄😂
