BLACKPINK’s Rosé has captured the attention of fans and critics alike after making a notable appearance at an NBA preseason game, stirring up a mix of admiration and humor online.
The 27-year-old South Korean sensation graced the Madison Square Garden arena on Thursday for the matchup between the New York Knicks and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Positioned in the celebrity row, Rosé flaunted a chic ensemble featuring a white crop top and a stylish skirt that highlighted her slender figure.
Displaying her support for the home team, Rosé donned an oversized Knicks Mitchell & Ness blue hardwood classics satin jacket, which retails for $119, signifying her loyalty in style.
Throughout the game, she kept her 79.7 million Instagram followers engaged by sharing moments and highlights from the thrilling matchup.
In addition to posting game highlights, she also captured candid moments, including her with a foam finger labeled “number one fan,” further endearing herself to her audience.
The playful energy surrounding Rosé’s appearance was enhanced by numerous fan accounts buzzing with excitement over her basketball outing, which ignited a wave of enthusiasm among BLINKs, the devoted fanbase of BLACKPINK.
Among the chatter, one TikTok video stood out, humorously highlighting Rosé’s game day experience. The clip, jokingly captioned “She went there to eat,” showcased the star relishing hot dogs and sipping beer as she enjoyed the game.
One fan whimsically named her “Éatsé,” merging “eat” with Rosé’s name, while another remarked, “Even eating is cute,” emphasizing her charm even in casual moments.
Moreover, social media users expressed delight at seeing the idol “eating well,” a welcomed sight following previous online concerns regarding her dramatic weight loss.
On the court, the Knicks secured a hard-fought victory against the Timberwolves, ending with a score of 115-110. The team is set to face the Charlotte Hornets next on Tuesday, October 15.
