BLACKPINK Rosé‘s recent appearance has sparked concerns ahead of the group’s tour.

A recent announcement explained that Rosé would be appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
When the images were shared, it sparked major concerns and criticism from netizens. With just over a month until the BLACKPINK tour starts, netizens pointed out how there has been no update for a possible album, as they haven’t released anything since before their last tour, along with no updates about rehearsals. In particular, the members are doing many solo schedules, including those abroad.

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 https://t.co/5EvxXvFIQ0

How can a group with a tour coming up, and no new music since their last tour 3y ago still not be prioritizing the grp? They have barely spent a weekend tgth, yet they dgaf. We’re just going to get random songs thrown into an album by Teddy, with zero growth or cohesion. Fck this https://t.co/6zJ6F0br1g

When the video was posted, netizens noticed that it was a pre-recording, as past photos from her January appearance showed her wearing the same outfit.

It led to netizens defending the idol.
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? its probably recorded way back smh stop freaking out

Yet, it seems like fans’ concerns ahead of the tour are not dying down as, with weeks to go until the Seoul show, there doesn’t seem to be any news of albums or rehearsals.
