BLACKPINK’s Rosé Under Fire For “Sasaeng” Behavior Towards Bruno Mars
BLACKPINK Rosé’s close relationship to fellow celebrity Bruno Mars has often been subject to shock but even ridicule.

With the duo being in each other’s company during the 2026 Grammy Awards, their friendship has become a hot topic once again.
Ever since Rosé featured the megastar on her viral hit “APT.” Bruno and the idol have often performed the song live together and seem to be really close friends. However, many have deemed Rosé’s behavior towards him “embarrassing.”

How far will this obsession ? As a woman, she should be ashamed of the countless humiliations she's going through because of a man who doesn't even care about her. https://t.co/RCtlQqK7RV
