Recently, Rosé appeared in an editorial for i-D magazine.

In the interview, the idol spoke about her upcoming release Rosie, responses to criticism, and much more. In particular, the interviewer asked her about the recent “feud” between NewJeans and their company HYBE. Rosé stayed quite neutral, sharing her love for the group, expressing that she wants to speak about positive things.

Later on, I ask about what she thinks of NewJeans’ recent revolt against Hybe, their label, over the shafting of their executive producer Min Hee-jin. With a mouthful of Tasmanian sea trout, she raises her eyebrows and shakes her head in a tiny motion. ‘I want to talk about positive things. I love those girls so much.’

When the interview was shared, netizens loved how positive Rosé was about NewJeans, but some shared their negative reactions towards the reporter for asking her about it in an interview about her career.
