While at first glance, the moment initially appeared to be a cute interaction with fans, on closer look, it could be seen that multiple people were reaching out to grab BLACKPINK’s Rosé, with some crossing a clear line.

For many, the incident also highlights the growing problem of artist safety at concerts. What should have been a special moment of connection turned into something scary and exploitative. BLACKPINK fans urge the group’s company, YG Entertainment and the concert venue management to enforce tighter security measures for their artists.

Neither BLACKPINK nor YG Entertainment has released an official statement. Fans on X and Instagram suggest more secure fan interactions, and some even push for removing the barricade section altogether. A few weeks ago, even BLACKPINK’s Lisa pointed out unsafe fan behaviour during the concert. She strongly advised the crowd not to throw things like stuffed toys, keychains and posters on the stage as it could hurt the girls.
