While it might not impact it, it raised deeper and ongoing criticism.

BLACKPINK member Rosé has sparked concern among fans following her recent appearance, just as the group’s much-anticipated tour approaches.
Rosé’s recent announcement to appear on the The Kelly Clarkson Show has fans buzzing, but not all of it is positive.
After images from the appearance circulated, fans didn’t hold back their worries, especially with just over a month before BLACKPINK’s tour kicks off. They’ve pointed out the noticeable absence of updates regarding any new album, noting that the group hasn’t released new music since their last tour. The members, meanwhile, seem to be preoccupied with solo activities, many of which are international.

These girls did not anticipate how long it would take to produce their first full albums and the success of their solo careers after that

How can a group with a tour coming up, and no new music since their last tour 3 years ago still not be prioritizing the group? They have barely spent a weekend together, yet they dgaf. We’re just going to get random songs thrown into an album by Teddy, with zero growth or cohesion. Fck this

Compounding these worries, netizens noticed that Rosé’s recent video was a pre-recording, which raised further suspicions as earlier photos showed her in the same outfit from a January appearance.

Despite the negativity, some fans came to Rosé’s defense, pointing out that it’s common for the group to be busy with various projects before a comeback.
Y’all are just very very used to not seeing them do things outside before a comeback. I think everything is ready and they continue with their schedules… plus is this Kelly Clarkson show even live? It’s probably recorded way back, smh stop freaking out.

As the clock ticks down to BLACKPINK’s Seoul show, the buzz surrounding Rosé’s busy schedule and the absence of new music continues to fuel fans’ concerns. Will they get what’s in store for them? Only time will tell!
