When the photos were posted, netizens criticized Rosé, referring to the tour and how with only a few weeks left, it seemed shocking that she wasn’t in Korea rehearsing.

Yet, many fans defended Rosé, explaining that the hate just seemed to target her when there was no news surrounding the schedules of the other members and that she wasn’t the only person involved with the tour to take full responsibility.
Atp FUCK everyone. Let this girl live her life. Like just leave her alone, is not that serious https://t.co/PUemFFj4OW

“that tour going to be a mess” just because Rosé is the only one spotted in LA doesn’t mean the rest of them ARE in Korea especially since they can fly ANYWHERE ANYTIME. What’s not clicking. Also, Rosé is the LEAST of your worries for that tour. https://t.co/DMeXlYfTPc
