BLACKPINK’s Rosé’s fans jump to her defense after her depiction as a s*x worker in C-drama Justice in the Dark

Fans of BLACKPINK’s Rosé defended her after she was immorally shown as a s*x worker in the C-drama Justice in the Dark. Fans argued that the drama’s makers ought to be more responsible as she isn’t some random person but a popular and globally renowned idol.

Chinese fans shared their grievances on Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter, and a post criticizing the show and its makers went viral amongst fans.

The photo used was the one BLACKPINK’s Rosé had posted on her social media years ago, and even though it was slightly photoshopped to pass it off as a random girl’s image, it is still largely recognizable as the Pink Venom singer.

According to a recent update, the makers have since deleted the scene from the show but are yet to issue an official apology to BLACKPINK’s Rosé.

The C-Drama Justice in the Dark's art team issued an official apology stating that, due to their negligence, the Gone singer’s photo was used in the production of the drama. They acknowledged that their irresponsible behavior had harmed BLACKPINK's Rosé's image and apologized unconditionally for it.

They also assured fans that they would work more rigorously to avoid and prevent such incidents in the future. They also disclosed that they are actively contacting YG Entertainment to convey their sincere apology to the Pink Venom singer.

Justice in the Dark is a mystery-psychological action-thriller drama starring Zhang Xin Cheng, Fu Xin Bo, and Zhao Zhi Wei in pivotal roles. It is a drama about the rightful and well-deserved people getting the justice they truly deserve against societal norms and odds.

In the scene where BLACKPINK’s Rosé's photo was used, there are two men discussing the possibility of hiring a s*x worker and discussing the rates for their services. They even commented on the pictures being photoshopped and that the girls’ mothers wouldn’t be able to recognize them either.
