Recently, Rosé appeared on The Howard Stern Show.

During the show, the host sparked controversy by asking the idol, “Do you think they [the members] are jealous of your success?” Despite the awkward question, Rosé answered it in a way that shared love for her members and how they are supportive because they are all following the same journey of pursuing solo activities.

Not at all, I think, no, no, because I think we all know, we all are kind of doing this simultaneously from the group and going on to solo. We kind of all understand how much work went behind this kind of being independent, so every time, we just bond about all of our experiences and stuff, so it’s really wholesome and stuff. They always check in on me, I love them, they’re like my family and sisters.

Some fans criticized Rosé, explaining that other members wouldn’t have been in an interview that could’ve led to these types of questions and hitting back at how the others would never be “jealous” of Rosé.

Jennie would never participate in an interview where they could be asking her that type of embarrassing questions https://t.co/D937LrXscV

Yet, many fans defended the idol, explaining that the host gave her an awful question that he knew would stir controversy but that Rosé handled it perfectly and the accusations of her being a “mean girl” were wrong.

you're a fcking weirdo if you're happy about that host asking roseanne that question and putting her in an uncomfortable situation. none of the pinks will ever be the mean girls yall so desperately want them to be

of course that fandom will cry over this because it’s attacking their fav members but won’t care about how rosé HANDLED IT, which is what should matter, it wasn’t even the highlight of the interview, she showed APT. 1.0, performed APT live and will another session on Friday, hmm.
