Life and Career

Early Life and Training

Roseanne Park, whose Korean name is Park Chae-young (Hangul: 박채영), was born on February 11, 1997. Her parents were South Korean immigrants in Auckland, New Zealand. She has an older sister. In 2004, when Rosé was seven, her family moved to Melbourne, Australia.

As a child, Rosé loved to sing. She learned to play the guitar and piano. She also sang in church choirs. She went to Kew East Primary School and Canterbury Girls' Secondary College in Melbourne. She left school before her final year to join YG Entertainment.

In 2012, Rosé tried out for YG Entertainment in Sydney. She went because her father suggested it. She was the best out of 700 people who auditioned. Rosé thought her father's idea was a joke at first. She didn't think she had a chance to become a K-pop star from so far away. Two months later, she signed with YG as a trainee. She then moved to Seoul, South Korea.

That same year, Rosé sang on a song called "Without You" by G-Dragon. He was also with YG Entertainment. Her name was not known then. Her part in the song was only revealed after she became a member of Blackpink. The song was popular in South Korea.

The music video for her main song, "On the Ground", got 41.6 million views in 24 hours. This broke a record held by Psy for the most-viewed music video by a Korean solo artist in 24 hours. "On the Ground" also reached number one on the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts. This made her the first Korean solo artist to top these charts.
