BLACKPINK’s Rosé has always been known for her iconic blonde locks, a look that’s become almost synonymous with her name.

But during a recent chat with Vogue, the singer left fans both amused and confused when she revealed that the “craziest rumor” she’s ever heard about herself is: that she might’ve had black hair at some point in her life.

For every other idol, a hair color rumor would be far from remarkable. But for Rosé, whose platinum-blonde appearance has been a defining element of her image for years now, the comment set the internet into a tongue-in-cheek frenzy.

It wasn't what she said, so much as how she said it with the kind of effortless sarcasm that only Rosé can pull off.


Rosé’s Vogue moment and why the internet can’t stop talking about it

In the Vogue video, Rosé was asked to share the wildest rumor she’s ever come across about herself. Without missing a beat, she responded with a cheeky smile, saying, “That I might’ve had black hair at one point in my life.”

Fans instantly caught on to the humor. Rosé has actually been seen with darker shades during her earlier days, but her dry delivery made it clear she was poking fun at how deeply the internet obsesses over every aspect of her appearance.

The moment went viral on X (formerly Twitter), with clips and quotes spreading across fan pages within hours. The reactions poured in, and they were nothing short of hilarious.

A user joked:

“Not her gaslighting the entire internet.”

Another fan confessed:

“i’m officially old.”

Meanwhile, one tweet summed up everyone’s thoughts perfectly:

“Rosé shutting down rumors with peak sarcasm 😭🔥 queen behavior.”

Others joined in on the fun, referencing her signature blonde tone. A fan wrote:

“know your roots girl 😂”

A witty nod to both her hair color and her beginnings in the K-pop scene.

One user even remarked:

“somehow that rumor aged better than most celebrity scandals,”

The tweet pointed out how Rosé’s lighthearted humor felt refreshing amid today’s often-serious responses. The post not only showcased Rosé's wit, but it also reminded us why she is so adored by her fans. Her ability to make fun of herself is exactly what makes her so endearing, even as a global icon.

Rosé's Vogue zinger could have been an offhand joke, but she aced her own charm at that moment. She has never had a problem balancing her polished on-stage persona with a laid-back, down-to-earth persona. Fans love that she doesn't take herself seriously, even when the internet does.

In a time when each detail of a celebrity's life is dissected on the internet, Rosé's cheeky remark was a welcome respite. Blond, brunette, or just joking about her hair history, one thing's for sure: Rosé exactly knows how to keep the internet in stitches.
