Fans react as BLACKPINK’s Rosé reportedly got harassed at the concert

According to the videos that have gone viral on social media, BLACKPINK’s Rosé was reportedly harassed at the Deadline World Tour concert in the US. The incident has sparked outrage and concern among her fans. Here is how they reacted –

“first grabbed her injured hand and now touching her private parts, oh god this is why i want rosé to stop going down to the barricade during apt, these type of fans clearly don’t understand boundaries or respect her” A user on X wrote.

“I feel so uncomfortable watching this happening to her...” Someone else commented.

The fans also suggested different ways to perform the song.

“i think she should pick 1 lucky fan to go on stage during APT instead of this..it's really dangerous...rosie” One more fan wrote.

“Rosie should drop the idea of going down to the crowd, they're crazy. Yesterday, one pulled her injured hand and today, one touched her chest. She should reconsider taking just one fan on stage.” Another fan suggested.

While a fan had a different view. They said -

“She’ll stop if she feels uncomfortable, she could’ve simply not done it today if she didn’t want to.” A user said.

BLACKPINK kicked off its US leg of the Deadline World Tour in July 2025. Their first performance was held at the Los Angeles SoFi Stadium. The tour brought together all four members of the band, including Jiso, Jeannie, Rosé, and Lisa.

Reportedly, the tour commenced from Goyang, South Korea, on July 5, 2025, and includes two UK dates – their first since 2023 – at Wembley Stadium on August 15 and 16. Each band member has their solo section during the concert to perform.

Additionally, Rosé has faced minor controversies over the past months. This included the silent reaction of the crowd during her concert in Toronto, as per Koreaboo. The incident took place during her solo performance of the song, 3 am.

She performed her soulful track with an acoustic guitar, but when she turned her mic towards the audience to sing along, she met with total silence. However, the singer continued to perform with a smile.
