Yet, as happy as fans were, they were furious at YG Entertainment and THE BLACK LABEL due to Rosé’s absence and inability to collect the award. BLACKPINK are set to perform in Thailand over the next few days, and the idol was seen at the airport with the other members earlier in the day to fly out.

Fans were furious and didn’t understand how the flight couldn’t have waited or have the idol take a later flight so she could receive the award.

ROSÉ,HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP SACRIFICING YOURSELF FOR THAT DAMN GROUP AND THAT AWFUL COMPANY?

GOD,I’M LOSING MY MIND— HER TEAM DOESN’T REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT THIS AWARD WAS.IF SHE HAD JUST TAKEN A FLIGHT A FEW HOURS LATER@numberoneHQ @AtlanticRecordspic.twitter.com/EhrHYCUaCE

The concept of skipping this incredibly important and huge ceremony for a money laundering blackpink concert. Only YG would do such thing. https://t.co/7r6UdaONZ9
