Many have reportedly seen BLACKPINK's Rose and Spotify's Head of Music Strategy head Jeremy Erlich several times, and fans have mixed feelings about it. So, does this mean the two are in a relationship?
Fans cannot help but debate about Rose and Erlich's frequent outings, resulting in a heated discussion. They even had a conversation about it in an online community.
Titled "Are Rosé and Spotify's CEO dating?" a netizen shared a series of the two's photos, AllKpop. Several of those saw them getting cozy with each other.
At one point, they watched Dua Lipa's concert together, while others showed them attending public and private events. That said, fans are starting to think a romance is beginning to brew between the two.
One fan said they looked good together and would even support them if they officially started dating. Another claimed it was hard not to suspect their relationship when the talks about them continuously surfaced online.
A different netizen stated the news about them dating was a "little bit gross," with another one asking if there was any reason that they couldn't date.
In addition, as one clip showed that Erlich followed Rose to her hotel, a netizen described it as "truly weird."
Meanwhile, amid the ongoing dating rumors, BLACKPINK is said to have been Erlich's darling since 2018. If truth be told, their relationship has been seen on multiple occasions.
Rose and Erlich are reportedly always hanging out together and not only watching concerts with each other. They, too, attend parties and fashion events.
Erlich is even caught often talking about BLACKPINK on his Instagram, and the girls do the same.
The blatant favoritism even accused them of making Lisa the most streamed K-pop soloist as the year ended and removing most of the collab streams. But when angry fans raised the issue, the company changed it again, naming BTS's Jungkook as the most streamed K-pop soloist after apologizing.
ARMY denounced the claims that Lisa was the most streamed K-pop soloist, believing the title should be given to Jungkook. They even made the hashtag #SpotifyCorrupt trend online to show they strongly disagreed with the result.
"Imagine having more than twice as many listeners but still giving the title as the most streamed K-Pop solo artist of the year to the other one," one fan said. "Shame on you for winning dirty titles."
They also accused the music streaming giant of not recognizing BTS's success. Later, the app issued an erratum, claiming it made an error.
