At BLACKPINK's Rosé's official pop-up store held in Chengdu, China, an influencer resembling Rosé appeared like the main character of the event, leading to expanded discussions. According to Malaysian entertainment media 'Hype' on December 15, Chinese influencer 'Daisy' was invited to the closed event of Rosé's official pop-up store held earlier this month. The event was centered around the sale of Rosé's official merchandise and a themed photo zone, but the local host introduced Daisy as if she were the main character, igniting controversy. It was reported that Daisy took photos with fans at the event and even signed Rosé's official merchandise. The fact that she wore an outfit similar to Rosé's usual style on the day of the event also became a target of criticism from fans, who felt that 'the essence was lost.' As the discussion expanded, Daisy announced her position through social media, clarifying that she participated in the event at the invitation of the shopping mall and followed the method discussed with the organizers. She explained that 'all actions were intended to promote Rosé' and that she received no financial compensation. Daisy acknowledged that 'Rosé and the fans should be the center' and added that she would reflect on any inappropriate aspects and act more carefully. However, even after her apology, overseas fans showed critical reactions, stating 'respect and imitation are different' and 'it seems like a behavior to attract attention.'
