Coachella 2023 was undoubtedly one of the most talked-about music festivals of the year, with BLACKPINK’s headlining performance being a highlight of the event. The girl group put on an unforgettable show, with the members’ surprising solo stages. But we think, BLACKPINK Rosé’s solo performance of “On The Ground” stole the spotlight during their Coachella set. What caught the attention of many fans was Rosé’s subtle shade that she threw at the haters about the drug allegations through a clever lyric change.
Following the recent drug allegations surrounding Rosé, the singer decided to mock the haters by replacing the lyrics of her hit song with the word “high,” instead of “right.” This move was a bold and amusing response to the issue, and fans were quick to notice and appreciate her sass. In this article, we’ll dive deeper into the incident and explore how it unfolded, giving you all the juicy details you need to know about this headline-making moment at Coachella 2023.
BLACKPINK Rosé’s solo performance at Coachella
If you’re a BLACKPINK fan, you might have already watched Jennie’s “You & Me, ” and Jisoo’s solo performance of “Flower” before Rosé took the stage at Coachella 2023. Rosé’s solo performance started with the chorus of her hit song “Gone,” but it was her rendition of “On The Ground” that got everyone talking online. All are just amazing, not until we noticed something different.
- At first, everything seemed normal as Rosé began singing the chorus, starting with “I worked my whole life.” But the next line was unexpected, as she sang, “Just to get high, just to be like,” instead of the original lyrics, “Just to get right…” Fans were quick to pick up on this change and were left wondering if it was a subtle shade at the recent drug allegations against her.
- Don’t worry, we thought that she was just taking her time to catch her breath at first. But nope, we never heard the lyrics, “Just to get right, just to be like.” It’s worth noting that Rosé just used this lyric change for the first time this Coachella 2023. So possibly, the singer intentionally executed this move.

- Her emphasis on the word and her intense gaze during those moments suggest that it was a deliberate move to address the rumors head-on. Either way, Rosé’s performance was a total slay, and she proved that she can handle anything that comes her way with grace and sass.

Rosé’s recent issues
On April 11, social media was buzzing about a photo posted by Riccardo Tisci, the former chief creative officer of Burberry. The picture featured BLACKPINK Rosé and actor Kang Dong Won in a group photo, which led to a dating rumor. However, things took a dark turn when some people claimed to see drug paraphernalia on the table with the other party members.
- The post has since been deleted by Tisci on Instagram, but YG Entertainment was quick to respond to this rumor. On April 13, they released a statement stating that they are taking legal action against those who spread rumors and violate their artists’ privacy.
YGE wrote, “We’re pursuing legal action against those who are violating our artists’ rights and privacy. We’re currently monitoring and watching those who create and spread these rumors. We will not be settling and will respond strongly.“
- Fast forward to April 17, YGE addressed the dating rumor in another statement. “It’s difficult to confirm facts related to our artist’s personal life,” YGE states. It’s just a vague statement, so fans are just left wondering about it as of now. Just a piece of information, actor Kang Dong Won recently left YGE in December 2022.
