BlackPink's Rosé 'changed', not the same as before, revealed a strange 'attitude', fans were 'shocked'?

From a little girl who loved singing in a church in Melbourne to one of the world's top stars, Rosé's journey is a testament to talent, perseverance and relentless effort.

Biography and childhood

Rosé, born Roseanne Park (Korean: Park Chae-young), was born on February 11, 1997, in Auckland, New Zealand, to a family of Korean descent. When Rosé was 7 years old, her family moved to Melbourne, Australia, where she grew up and attended high school. In a multicultural environment, Rosé soon showed artistic talent, especially the ability to sing, play the piano and guitar. She often participated in musical activities in church and school, which nurtured a strong passion for music from an early age.

As a teenager, Rosé thought her dream of becoming a singer was just a personal hobby. However, her big break came in 2012 when her father suggested she register for the YG Entertainment audition held in Sydney.

The road to YG Entertainment

During her 2012 audition, Rosé beat out thousands of contestants thanks to her unique voice – clear, fragile yet powerful. Soon after, she was signed by YG Entertainment, became a trainee and moved to Seoul, South Korea.

The nearly four-year trainee period was challenging. Rosé had to be away from her family, adapt to a completely different cultural environment, and undergo a rigorous training schedule. However, it was this time that helped her hone her vocal skills, dance skills, and perseverance in preparation for her debut.

Shine with BLACKPINK

In August 2016, Rosé officially debuted as a member of the girl group BLACKPINK, along with Jisoo, Jennie , and Lisa . The group quickly became a global phenomenon with the hit songs Boombayah and Whistle right from their debut.

In BLACKPINK, Rosé takes on the role of main vocalist and lead dancer. Her voice is considered the group's "trademark": unique, emotional and easily recognizable. Many of BLACKPINK's famous songs such as Playing With Fire, Ddu-Du Ddu-Du, Kill This Love, How You Like That , Pink Venom all have climaxes performed by Rosé, becoming highlights in the hearts of the audience.

Not only limited to the Korean market, BLACKPINK quickly expanded to the world. The group became the first K-pop girl group to perform at Coachella (2019) and organized world tours with stadium scale. Rosé and BLACKPINK have greatly contributed to the Hallyu wave exploding on a global scale.

First solo impressions

After many years of working with the group, Rosé launched her solo career with the single album R released in March 2021. The album included two songs, On The Ground and Gone, and quickly broke many records.

On The Ground was a global hit, with the music video racking up over 41 million views in the first 24 hours – a record for a female K-pop solo artist at the time. The song also made Rosé the first female K-pop solo artist to top the Billboard Global 200 and appear on the UK Singles Chart. In its first week, the album R sold over 448,000 copies, setting a record for first-week sales for a Korean female solo artist. This success not only affirmed Rosé’s talent but also proved that she could shine even when standing alone on stage.

The turning point with the album Rosie

In late 2024, Rosé released her debut studio album, Rosie. This marked her full-fledged growth as an international solo artist. The lead single, Apt., featuring Bruno Mars, quickly took the world by storm.

Not only dominating the Korean charts, Apt. also achieved high results in the US, UK, Australia and many other major music markets. This is considered a historic milestone when a female K-pop solo artist can reach such difficult markets.

The album Rosie blends many genres, from pop, R&B to alternative, showing the diversity and depth in Rosé's music. International experts consider this album not only an impressive debut but also a turning point, helping Rosé escape the image of a "K-pop idol" to become a true global artist.

Great success in 2025

2025 marked the biggest step forward in Rosé's solo career. The song Apt. won Song of the Year at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards – one of the most prestigious categories.

On the VMAs stage, Rosé gave an emotional speech, thanking her 16-year-old self – the girl who once sat in her bedroom in Melbourne, holding a guitar, dreaming of standing on the big stage. This heartfelt speech not only moved the audience but also spread strongly on social networks, becoming a source of inspiration for young people to pursue their dreams.

In addition to music, Rosé continues to affirm her position in the fashion world. As an ambassador for many luxury brands, she regularly appears at major shows, praised as the new generation "It Girl" thanks to her sophisticated fashion sense and elegant demeanor. Rosé's image is always on the most searched list every time she attends international fashion events.

In July 2025, Rosé made a surprise appearance at PSY's Summer Swag 2025, giving a live performance of Apt. and debuting the song Dance All Night. The event immediately became a media sensation, proving her explosive stage presence.

Global icon

From a little girl who loved singing in a church in Melbourne to one of the world's biggest stars, Rosé's journey is a testament to perseverance and relentless effort. She is not only the main vocalist of BLACKPINK, but also a successful solo artist, fashion icon and role model for the younger generation.

In 2025, Rosé is at the peak of her career, making her name on the international music map with rare achievements. And her journey certainly hasn't stopped: audiences are still looking forward to new projects, surprise performances and more historical milestones named Rosé.
