BLACKPINK Rosé Adorably Fan-Girls Over Lee Ji-ah’s English Skills During L.A. Lunch: “It Felt Like an English Class!”

A heartwarming moment between BLACKPINK’s Rosé, actress Lee Ji-ah, and Kim Go-eun in Los Angeles is making waves online, as fans fall in love with the trio’s natural chemistry, genuine compliments, and peaceful vibes.

Originally released on BH Entertainment’s YouTube channel, the video titled “Ji-ah & Go-eun in Los Angeles (with Rosé)” recently resurfaced as a YouTube Shorts clip under the caption “A Pretty Girl Complimenting Another Pretty Girl.” The clip has since sparked a flurry of attention from netizens charmed by the casual beauty and mutual admiration on display.

The footage begins with Lee Ji-ah and Kim Go-eun teasing the camera: “Rosé is behind us. We met Chaeyoung in L.A. We’re not going to show her yet.” They soon head to a breezy seaside restaurant to enjoy drinks and the California sun, with Rosé chiming in cheerfully, “This kind of weather is perfect for that.”

Visibly awestruck by the setting, Rosé repeatedly gushed, “I didn’t know a place like this existed in LA. It’s amazing.” She couldn’t stop praising the atmosphere—and her companions. Filming Kim Go-eun mid-lunch, she exclaimed, “So cute. The colors are perfect—it looks so pretty,” drawing a bashful smile from Go-eun that left fans grinning.

However, the most viral moment came when Lee Ji-ah expertly placed their order in fluent English. Rosé was clearly blown away, telling her, “Your ordering skills are insane. It felt like an English class. Your English is really good.” She added jokingly, “If the subtitles are done well, people could use this video as a guide to order food in the U.S. There was even the perfect phrase for when something goes wrong.” A flustered Lee Ji-ah laughed and replied, “Did I really say that?”

The three stars originally bonded while filming the 2021 JTBC variety show “Sea of Hope” and have stayed close ever since. Their friendship was previously highlighted at the MAMA Awards, where Lee Ji-ah and Rosé snapped selfies together, much to fans’ delight.

The video’s resurgence has sparked positive reactions across platforms:

• “Such a girl thing to do.”
• “They can’t rest until they compliment each other.”
• “Didn’t know Rosé and Lee Ji-ah were close!”
• “They’re all in the same company under Lee Byung-hun?”
• “A pretty girl next to a pretty girl next to another pretty girl.”

As fans continue to celebrate their elegant, down-to-earth camaraderie, it’s clear that Rosé, Lee Ji-ah, and Kim Go-eun have become one of the most beloved unexpected celebrity trios.
