BLACKPINK’s Rosé and American model-actor Evan Mock are at the center of new dating rumors. Fans noticed their frequent travels to the same locations, sparking speculation about a possible romance. The pair starred together in Rosé’s music video for her solo track Toxic Till the End in late 2024, where their on-screen chemistry fueled rumors.
A timeline of their overlapping travels has gone viral. Both were seen in New York, Hawaii, Japan, and Palm Springs around the same time. In early January 2025, a leaked photo from Evan Mock’s family New Year celebration in Hawaii appeared to show Rosé standing beside him. The photo was quickly deleted but not before fans saved and shared it widely.
Rosé recently flew back to New York, leading to more rumors. Some fans believe she is visiting Evan Mock, who lives there. Her agency has not confirmed her schedule, leaving room for speculation. Netizens have mixed reactions, with some dismissing the rumors while others insist the coincidences are too many.
“Rosé Evan Mock timeline: Mid-October: New York, End-October: Hawaii, Mid-End November: Japan, Beg-Mid December: New York, Beg-January: Hawaii, Beg-Mid January: Palm Springs, Beg-Mid April: Palm Springs, Mid-April: LA, Mid-End April: Seoul, Beg-Mid May: New York, Mid-May: New York.”
Evan Mock faced backlash after posting about his trip to South Korea in April. Critics accused him of trying to link himself to Rosé for attention. Some fans defended him, saying his trip was for work. He later disabled comments on his Instagram post to avoid further hate.
“Please be kind,” Evan wrote in an Instagram Story, responding to the negativity. He has not directly addressed the dating rumors. Rosé has also stayed silent, focusing on her music and BLACKPINK’s upcoming 2025 world tour.
The rumors first started after the release of Toxic Till The End. The music video featured intimate scenes, including a kiss between Rosé and Evan. Fans also spotted them together in New York after the shoot, adding fuel to the speculation. Some claim Rosé wore a bracelet from Evan’s brand, though neither confirmed it.
“They just starred in an MV together like any other artist. God dammit, leave them alone. Everything isn’t about dating,” a fan tweeted. Others criticized Evan, with one comment saying, “Rosé, don’t tear down your own worth over a guy like him.”
Rosé is one of the most successful K-pop soloists globally. Her song APT. featuring Bruno Mars topped the Billboard Global 200 for 10 weeks. Evan Mock is known for his role in Gossip Girl and his skateboarding career. Despite the rumors, both continue their professional work without addressing the speculation.
