Whoever was using the RIIZE TikTok account saw the video and left a playful comment that read, "Oh thank you sunbaenim." Sunbaenim means "senior," showing they were pretending the TikToker was Rosé herself.
The interaction sparked mixed reactions. Some fans state the video is clearly mocking and making fun of Rosé, and as a junior artist and fellow idol, RIIZE should not have engaged with such content.
Some, however, defended RIIZE. They stated the video was harmless, and the TikToker's Rosé impersonation is meant to be fun and does not harbor any malicious intent. In fact, there are several other users on the platform whose content revolves around mimicking other idols. Therefore, RIIZE leaving a comment under this particular video is not disrespectful to Rosé in any way.
