Pretending it didn't happen?' Chinese drama criticised for using photo of Blackpink's Rose as sex worker

A Chinese drama series has earned the ire of Blackpink fans after a photo of Rose was used to represent a sex worker in the show.

In the original scene of the show Justice in the Dark, police officer Luo Weizhao (Fu Xinbo) conceals his identity to investigate a case, and enters a hotel to request for sexual services.

Staff at the counter then hand him a photo catalogue of women.

In response, Weizhao said: "These photos are so heavily photoshopped that even their mothers can't recognise them!"

But fans recognised a photo that looked very similar to one taken of Blackpink's Rose.

When a screengrab of the scene and Rose's photo is placed side by side, the pose, appearance, background and even the mobile phone's positioning are identical.


The only differences are that the woman seen in the drama's picture has a fairer skin tone and wears a different shade of lipstick.
