Fans react to rumor that BLACKPINK’s Rosé will attend Met Gala 2021

Followers were pretty excited about the news and suggested that it was only fitting that Rosé attends the Met Gala this year as a global brand ambassador. Since this is just speculation, a few fans noted that the label is yet to make an official announcement regarding the Met Gala.

With just about a week left, many fans wondered if Rosé’s debut on the red carpet of The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit would be a surprise event.

In April, rumors abounded that all members of BLACKPINK — Rosé, Jennie, Lisa, and Jisoo — would attend the Met Gala. The theme for 2021 is American Fashion, and the four members were expected to make an appearance.

Since the rumor spread, however, there has been no confirmation from YG Entertainment about the red carpet event.

Fans of BLACKPINK will now watch out for the event to see if these rumors will turn out to be true. There were high hopes pinned on the event as the rumors were started in April by the same insider who had reportedly revealed the schedule of BLACKPINK members’ solo debuts.
