K-Pop stars Rose from BLACKPINK and Cha Eun Woo from ASTRO are at the centre of dating rumours once again, causing the hashtag #Eunrose to trend across social media. Fans have been piecing together what they believe to be evidence of a romance, reigniting speculation that had briefly died down.
The latest buzz began on July 18, when a user on the Nate Pann forum asked, “Are Rose and Cha Eun Woo really dating? I saw something on YouTube, but there aren’t any news articles. Are the rumours true?” This question sparked a renewed flurry of speculation and debate among fans.

Despite their reputation for keeping personal matters private, Rose and Cha Eun Woo have found themselves under scrutiny due to a series of coincidental social media posts. A TikTok video that compiles various pieces of ‘evidence’ has gone viral, showing both K-pop idols visiting the same cafe and attending the same art show in Japan around the same time. These coincidences have fuelled fan theories, although not everyone is convinced.
Many South Korean netizens are skeptical, dismissing the rumours as overblown. “I think they’re just acquaintances because all the ’97 liners are close,” one user commented on Nate Pann. Another dismissed the speculation as the work of “psychotic trolls” trying to create drama. However, some fans remain adamant, insisting that “the evidence says yes.”
This isn’t the first time Rose and Cha Eun Woo have been linked. Earlier rumours suggested that Cha Eun Woo attended BLACKPINK’s Coachella 2023 after-party, and the two were reportedly seen together at a restaurant during Paris Fashion Week in 2022. A compilation video of these incidents has amassed over a million views, suggesting that their alleged relationship might date back to 2021.
The video also features a series of photos from late January to early February 2022, showing the two in different locations but striking similar poses, which fans interpret as further proof of their relationship. Despite the mounting speculation, neither Rose, Cha Eun Woo, nor their respective agencies have commented on the rumours.
