Rosé (BLACKPINK) is making waves around the world with her debut album “rosie”. Without needing Dispatch to reveal her private life, the 1997-born star herself revealed she had dated and used heartbreak as inspiration for her music. In particular, Rosé claimed that this relationship was extremely toxic, prompting fans to speculate about the identity of the ex-boyfriend who caused her so much pain.
After the release of her music video “Toxic to the End”, many netizens began to suspect that Jaden Smith, the son of Hollywood actor Will Smith, was the alleged ex-boyfriend. First of all, the actor featured in the MV bears a striking resemblance to Jaden Smith, including his pink hair. Furthermore, Jaden Smith has a close relationship with BLACKPINK and was also seen hanging out privately with Rosé at Coachella 2019. He also mentioned Rosé’s name in his song “Your Voice”.
However, many fans have disputed the theory that Jaden Smith is Rosé’s junkie ex. Jaden reportedly dated model Sab Zada from 2020 to 2024, while Rosé mostly stayed in South Korea between 2020 and 2022, making a relationship between them unlikely. Additionally, Jaden Smith was seen happily meeting and taking photos with BLACKPINK as recently as last year. If Jaden had been the junkie ex who hurt Rosé, it’s unlikely she would have been so willing to meet him again.
Previously, fans had speculated that Rosé’s alleged ex could be someone else, who she reportedly followed on her former private Instagram account, @vampirehollie, during her “skateboarding phase” in 2022. This individual is Jason Choi , a skateboard instructor with whom various skate shops have collaborated.
In the past, Choi shared a photo of a rose on her Instagram story, which fueled further rumors. As speculation grew, Jason Choi’s social media accounts were flooded with toxic comments. Choi eventually addressed the situation in an Instagram Story, denying the claims and clarifying that he is “not BLACKPINK ex Rosé,” but simply “a big fan.” He also expressed confusion about the rumors and urged netizens to stop leaving vulgar comments.
