On December 6, 2024, BLACKPINK's Rosé unveiled her highly anticipated solo album rosie and the music video for the title track toxic till the end. The video portrayed a bittersweet relationship, sparking a wave of speculation among fans about the possible real-life inspirations behind the narrative. Directed by Ramez Silyan, the MV features moments of intimacy and conflict, reflecting the emotional turbulence of a toxic relationship.

Fans have been quick to connect the dots between the storyline and Rosé's past interviews, where she revealed raw details about her experiences in her 20s. During an interview on Apple Music released on December 4, 2024, she recalled a major fight with her ex before a concert.

“I would actually look at looks and be like oh my god that’s when I was going through the worst time of my life, like I remember that tour, I had the biggest fight with the ex. I remember then. I looked so good considering how heartbroken I was,” she said.

Adding to the theories, Rosé's Coachella performances in 2019 and 2023 have become focal points. Viewers noted that her outfit during an argument scene in the MV closely resembles her Coachella stage attire, prompting guesses that the timeline of her emotional struggles might align with the festival.

Many believe her reference to a significant argument with her ex could have occurred during one of these performances.

"It gives me concert vibes. Maybe she confronted him after concert. Coachella???," an X user, @ZenithX27 wrote.

Others also joined in to compile their theories and connect the dots.

"girl this looks like her coachella outfit," a fan wrote.
"Her ex was stealing her Tiffany rings meanwhile she was performing at Coachella Rosie girl you deserve so much better," another user commented.
"Coachella's 2019 looks so.. we're right.. her toxic relationship was around 2018-2019," a person remarked.

The MV itself has fueled further speculation. In one scene, Evan Mock, portraying her ex-lover, is seen skateboarding—a detail that fans tied to Rosé's "skater era" in early 2022.

At the time, she posted photos of herself skateboarding. In an interview with Dazed Korea, she mentioned that the inspiration to learn the sport came spontaneously. Fans now wonder if her relationship might have influenced the newfound interest.

"oh she was down BAD," an X user remarked.
"Now we know why her Skater era ended," another fan commented.
"rosé suddenly being obsessed with skateboard in 2022 like okay...," an user wrote on X.
"okay now i know why she doesn’t say any sh*t about skateboarding after mentioned it for a few times back then," a person remarked.

The lyrical content of toxic till the end further deepens the mystery. Lines such as "His favorite game is chess, who would ever guess?/ Playing with the pieces in my chest" have led fans to rewatch her earlier solo release, Gone. In 2021, the music video of that song had a chessboard as a prominent symbol.

This recurring motif has intensified speculation about whether the relationship described in Rosé's recent work spans multiple years.

The BLACKPINK member's candid approach to exploring themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery has struck a chord with fans. They continue piecing together the possible timeline of her relationship journey. The full tracklist includes:

  • 3am
  • Two Years
  • Drinks or Coffee
  • Gameboy
  • Stay a Little Longer
  • Not the Same
  • Call It the End
  • Too Bad for Us
  • Dance All Night

Rosé's full album is available on all major music streaming platforms, and the music video for Toxic Till the End can be streamed on YouTube.
