The idol explained how negative individuals became obsessed with her. They found BLACKPINK's Rosé's Finsta (a slang term for a secret Instagram account). She also discussed how some fans attempted to control her.

“It's my Finsta. And then a few fans found out about it, and there are certain people who want to be negative, and they were trying to find all the ways to get to me. They ended up getting to that account and then using that to cause drama and create - actually trigger me. It felt like they were obsessed with the thought of controlling me,” Rosé added.

BLACKPINK's Rosé got teary-eyed as she admitted that she had faced it. The idol stated that, despite being strong-minded and positive, she felt horrible when she was cyberbullied.

“Like, I am very positive, and I like to be smart about how things affect me. But when it actually did get to me, it felt pretty, pretty bad. I was like, "Oh, my gosh, I am going through this." I never thought I would. I would see things online, and I'd always think, I wonder why they let that get to them? When it did, I was shocked.”
