Katy Perry-Orlando Bloom breakup linked to 'Rose Curse'; BLACKPINK fans react
As news of
Katy Perry
and Orlando Bloom's breakup circulates, fans of K-pop sensation and BLACKPINK star Rose, have once again revived an inside joke that has taken the internet by storm.
Shortly after reports confirmed that Perry and Bloom had ended their near decade-long relationship, BLACKPINK fans — known as BLINKs — took to social media platforms with a familiar meme- the so-called 'Rosé Curse.
'
According to the viral post, any celebrity couple photographed with BLACKPINK's Rosé is doomed to split. While clearly tongue-in-cheek, the joke has gained surprising traction online. It resurfaced prominently in trending topics on Wednesday following confirmation that Perry and Bloom, engaged since 2019 and parents to daughter Daisy Dove, had called it quits amid reports of relationship strain.
Rosé, who recently reunited with bandmates Lisa, Jennie, and Jisoo, is known not only for her powerhouse vocals and fashion icon status but now also — in jest — for an alleged string of A-list breakups linked to her.
The so-called curse traces back to photos of the singer with various celebrity couples just before their public splits. According to popular reports, the theory went viral when fans began noticing the uncanny timing of breakups involving stars who had recently been snapped with the singer. A now-viral meme lists 'victims' of the supposed curse, including
Taylor Swift
and
Joe Alwyn
,
Gigi Hadid
and
Zayn Malik
,
Florence Pugh
and Zach Braff, and
Kendall Jenner
and Devin Booker.
One oft-cited example is Rosé's 2021 interaction with internet personality Bella Poarch.
The two struck up a friendship and were photographed together that summer. In 2022, Poarch revealed she had filed for divorce from her secret husband of four years.
Similarly, Kendall posed for a photo with Rosé in November 2022. That same month, reports emerged of her split from NBA star Devin Booker after two years of dating.
Despite the growing list of "coincidences," fans are quick to clarify that the theory is all in good fun. Still, the memes and jokes have reached such a level of popularity that Rosé herself finally addressed them saying that she was not exactly thrilled about being the bringer of bad luck.

Kpop Demon Hunters: Why Were Ahn Hyo Seop and Lee Byung Hun Chosen as Voice Actors in Animated Film? Director Reveals
A K-pop girl group made up of demon hunters versus a rival boy group of demons, who'll win? The exciting storyline unfolding in Kpop Demon Hunters has taken over the world with its animated charm, and now the director, Maggie Kang, has revealed how she chose actors Lee Byung Hun and Ahn Hyo Seop for the voice acting roles, emphasizing their existing acting skills. Speaking about making the story more related to Koreans than Korean-Americans, the creator shared with KBI Zoom, 'Working with active Korean actors was a key mission. This isn't a story about Korean-Americans but about Koreans living in Korea today.' Thus stemmed the idea of having Ahn Hyo Seop and Lee Byung Hun in the film. With the latter's success via the Squid Game series and his foray into the western world, he became the right pick for the role of the villain Gwi Ma. 'As the first Korean artist to break into Hollywood, I deeply respect and appreciate him.' On the other hand, Ahn Hyo Seop, as a K-pop trainee turned actor, became the male lead, Jinu, whose husky presence in the film has melted many hearts around the world. Maggie Kang revealed, 'Working with an actor who embodies the quintessential K-drama male lead was our dream. Ahn Hyo Seop brought authenticity to the story and characters.' About Kpop Demon Hunters With the story of Huntrix, comprising Rumi, Mira, and Zoey, fighting against the Saja Boys, and a quintessential romance breaking through, Kpop Demon Hunters is peak fantasy-action, blended into an animated marvel that is already breaking charts. A sequel for the film seems unlikely at this point; however, fans of the story have hopes for some update. Other voice actors for the film include Arden Cho as Rumi, May Hong as Mira, Yoo Ji Young as Zoey, Yunjin Kim as Celine, Daniel Dae Kim as Healer Han, Ken Jeong as Bobby, Joel Kim Booster as Romance Saja, Alan Lee as Mystery Saja, and SungWon Cho as Abs Saja.

However, the city of love hasn't all been rose-tinted as the star was met with a surprising turn of events while going on a jog. The ASTRO member's earphones slipped out of his pockets and were swiftly smashed down by a car, leaving onlookers surprised. Cha Eun Woo's earphones break under car Dressed in peak athleisure, Cha Eun Woo stepped out of what looked like the back gate of his hotel, but was immediately greeted with phone cameras going at him. Breaking into a comfortable jog and taking a mere few steps onto the street, with oncoming traffic pushing into his way, the singer's earphones seemingly slipped out of his shorts' pockets and onto the road. Before he could understand what was happening, a sedan on the left zoomed in and trampled all over his accessory, likely breaking it. With his manager following behind, the two men looked surprised at the outcome, as the traffic was asked to wait until he picked up the earphones. Examining the case in his hands, an expression filled with disbelief spread across his face as the fans reacted to the situation, continuing to film him all along.
