BLACKPINK member Rosé sparked an online debate after a playful comment about One Direction during a recent interview. The K-pop star joked about not revealing her favorite member to avoid “drama,” but some fans took her words too seriously.
Rosé made the lighthearted remark in an interview with Dazed Magazine. When asked about her favorite One Direction member, she smiled and said, “I do [have a favorite], but I know this is going to make headlines, so I want to be careful. It’ll cause too much drama.” Her tone was clearly joking, but the response online was mixed.

Some social media users criticized her, saying she acted like her opinion would “break the internet.” Others called her comment “cringe” and accused her of overestimating her influence. However, many fans defended her, pointing out that she was just being cautious to avoid fan wars.
One fan tweeted, “Rosé was literally joking, and now people are proving her point by making it a big deal.” Another wrote, “Idols can’t even make harmless jokes without being dragged.” The backlash showed how even casual remarks from celebrities can be blown out of proportion.
Rosé has previously talked about the pressure of being a global star. In past interviews, she admitted that negative comments affect her deeply. This incident highlights how idols must carefully weigh their words, even in fun moments.
BLACKPINK fans, known as BLINKs, quickly trended supportive hashtags to counter the negativity. Many pointed out that Rosé’s humor is part of her charm and that the reaction only proved her joke was right.
