Madonna Receives Praise For Actions Towards BLACKPINK’s Rosé Amidst Charlie XCX Controversy

Long live the queen!

Korean netizens are loving Madonna after the global pop icon shared a photo of BLACKPINK’s Rosé from the recent Saint Laurent show in Paris.

Earlier, Charlie XCX faced backlash for allegedly excluding Rosé during the event itself, and posting an unflattering shot that fans felt was disrespectful. Many accused her of intentionally choosing a photo which had Rosé in the shadows while highlighting other celebrities at the show.

But Madonna’s move completely shifted the mood. She uploaded a stunning photo of Rosé from the event with Rosé dead front and center, capturing her in a happy laugh. She also tagged Rosé in the photo.

The post immediately spread through Korean online communities, where netizens praised Madonna’s gesture as girl boss behavior.
