BLACKPINK’s Rosé has once again got fans talking, thanks to a refreshingly honest moment from a recent interview that offered a glimpse into her past relationships.
Known for speaking her mind without filters, Rosé’s candid comments quickly sparked curiosity—especially among those who closely follow the idol world.
During an appearence in Call Her Daddy podcast with host Alex Cooper, Rosé opened up in a relaxed, unguarded way, reflecting on people she has dated in the past.
While she avoided naming anyone, one particular line instantly caught attention. She remarked, “I’ve met people after you who are a bit… way more like higher profile…”. The comment was subtle but loaded enough for fans to start reading between the lines.

As the clip made its way across social media, netizens began speculating about who she might be referring to. Many wondered whether Rosé had previously dated someone from within the K-pop industry itself.
Based on her wording, some fans suggested that the ex in question could have been a lesser-known idol. This led to discussions using the term “nugu”, a phrase commonly used in K-pop circles to describe idols or groups who haven’t reached mainstream recognition.

While none of this has been confirmed, the ambiguity of her words has left fans intrigued and eager to analyse every detail.
Rather than criticism, the response online has largely been affectionate. Fans have praised Rosé for being so open about her past, especially in an industry where personal relationships are often kept strictly under wraps. Many admired how calmly and confidently she spoke, without sounding bitter or resentful.
