"Chaesoo's bond is everything" — Fans react as BLACKPINK's Rosé shows love for Jisoo's Inkigayo debut, reportedly joins 'Earthquake' challenge

On February 16, 2025, BLACKPINK's Rosé surprised fans by arriving at SBS headquarters to show support for fellow member Jisoo's solo Inkigayo performance.

Jisoo dropped her solo debut with the single Earthquake, on February 14, 2025, along with her solo album, AMORTAGE. As per the album's post-promotion schedule, the K-pop idol performed at Inkigayo after almost two years since she released Flowers in March 2023.

Meanwhile, several clips flooded on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing Rosé on the Inkigayo stage alongside the Tears singer. A clip of the two BLACKPINK members in Jisoo's car leaving from SBS building also circulated online where they rolled down the car windows to wave at their fans.

Several fans even shared that Rosé reportedly participated in the Earthquake dance challenge, a viral trend inspired by Jisoo's choreography. Fans have eagerly anticipated Rosé's rendition and shared their enthusiasm online. One fan tweeted,

"Chaesoo’s bond is everything! Rosé hyping Jisoo was the cutest!"

Fans lauded Rosé for showing up to support the Earthquake singer-songwriter. This was significant as the four BLACKPINK members have been busy pursuing solo activities since December 2023 after leaving YG Entertainment.

"Rosie was there with jisoo since the start to end please i love my chaesoo so much their bond is so pure and precious," a fan wrote.

"Oh to have a friend like rosé, she’s so supportive and kind hearted that’s why she’s so blessed.." another fan wrote.

"Solo stans are weird, they really think the girls hate each other. It's as if they're blind and deaf, when in reality those girls love each other so much and always talk about each other and their group as well," another fan added.

Others highlighted how much the BLACKPINK members supported and loved one another.

"My girl took a rest in korea but still shows support for her friends like?!?! Where can i get someone like her?! I hope she also recieved all the energy she gives," a fan said.

"THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH," another fan emphasized.

"Rosé is the best, she always supports everyone," another fan added.
