Rosé exposes the dark side of Kpop, accuses anti-fans directly, and is haunted by one thing to the point of tears

Recently, The New York Times published an interview with Kpop idol Rosé of Blackpink, before she released her first solo album "rosie", scheduled to be released on December 6.

Rosé shared that the album will focus on her past toxic relationships. Rosé excitedly said, "It feels like I've been waiting my whole life to release this album. I grew up listening to a lot of female artists. I used to relate to them, and they really helped me get through difficult times.

So I always dreamed of having my own album one day. But I never really thought it would happen. When I started this process last year, I doubted myself a lot."

Roseanne Park Chae Young, also known by her stage name Rosé, joined South Korean entertainment company YG Entertainment in 2012. She then trained for four years and eventually became the main vocalist and lead dancer of South Korean girl group BLACKPINK in August 2016.

Looking back on her internship years, she describes them as difficult and lonely: "The loneliness I endured was something I didn't fully understand. It was so traumatic that it was shocking, but I got through it."

However, Rosé notes that K-pop fan culture puts pressure on idols: "We're trained to always present ourselves in the most perfect way. Even when interacting with fans online, it's about giving the perfect answer, saying the right things when I'm ready, and making sure I'm the perfect girl for everyone. It's the culture."

During the interview, Rosé revealed that "Vampirehollie" was originally her private Instagram account, where she could be herself without worrying about what people thought of her.

But things changed when some fans found out and negative comments started pouring in: "They tried every way to reach me and eventually they used that account to provoke me. I felt like they were obsessed with controlling me."

When asked about the online harassment from anti-fans that K-pop artists, especially female artists, face, Rosé said through tears: "I don't want to get too emotional about it, because I want to say that I'm pretty strong. But when it really affects me, I feel really bad."

" Number one girl " marks the second collaboration between BLACKPINK's main vocalist and Bruno Mars , but the male singer no longer contributes vocals but acts as a producer. The song has lyrics entirely in English, without the addition of Korean like the previous global hit APT. The tone of the song is no longer cheerful and vibrant, but instead is calm and profound.

"Number one girl" is a song that Rosé wrote in response to negative comments: "That song was written after a terrible night of surfing the internet until 6am, I barely slept. The next day, I walked into the studio feeling grumpy.

I told them, "I'm so exhausted. I'm exhausted trying to please everyone. I've tried my best to be the best version of myself, but I feel a little lost and like I'm never good enough. I'm upset with the world, and I wanted to write a song that was just as open and honest."

But Rosé also spoke about the solace she finds in songwriting, describing it as a way to process her emotions and protect herself. "Songwriting comes as a blessing when I really need it. I'll take a big issue into the process, put it into a song, and then it'll leave my heart," she shared.
