Roseanne Park MBE (born 11 February 1997), known mononymously as Rosé (Hangul: 로제), is a Korean-New Zealand singer and dancer based in South Korea. Born in New Zealand and raised in Australia, Rosé signed with South Korean label YG Entertainment following a successful audition in 2012 and trained for four years before debuting as a member of the South Korean girl group Blackpink in August 2016.

In March 2021, Rosé made her solo debut with the single album R. The album sold 448,089 copies in its first week, the highest figure by a Korean female soloist. Its lead single "On the Ground" peaked in the top five of South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart and became the highest-charting song by a Korean female soloist on the US Billboard Hot 100, the Canadian Hot 100, and the UK Singles Chart. It was the first song by a Korean solo artist to top the Billboard Global 200, and broke the record for the most-viewed music video in the first 24 hours on YouTube by a Korean solo artist. The album's second single "Gone" peaked in the top ten in South Korea as well.

Rosé has obtained several accolades throughout her career, including two Guinness World Records, a Mnet Asian Music Award, and nominations for MTV Europe Music Awards and MTV MIAW Awards. Rosé is the third-most followed Korean individual on Instagram and appeared on Rolling Stone's list of living icons from Australia and New Zealand. She has been acknowledged for her role in fashion as a global ambassador for Yves Saint Laurent, and became the first female Korean idol to attend the Met Gala in 2021.

Life and career

1997–2012: Early life

Roseanne Park (Hangul: 박채영; Park Chae-young) was born on 11 February 1997 in Auckland, New Zealand, to South Korean immigrant parents. She has an older sister. In 2004, at the age of seven, Rosé and her family moved to Melbourne, Australia. She began singing and learned to play guitar and piano as a child and performed in church choirs. She attended Kew East Primary School, and Canterbury Girls' Secondary College but dropped out before Year 11, after signing with South Korean record label YG Entertainment.

2012–2015: Pre-debut

In 2012, Rosé attended an audition in Sydney, Australia for YG Entertainment (whose label's music she already liked) at her father's suggestion, she finished first among the 700 participants. She had initially presumed her father's idea was a joke due to the distance and difficulty of becoming a singer overseas, and "she didn't think that there was much of a chance to become a K-pop star [herself]." Two months later, she had signed with the label as a trainee, and moved to Seoul, South Korea.

The same year, Rosé was given an opportunity to feature on labelmate G-Dragon's song "Without You" from his extended play (EP) One of a Kind (2012). Her name was not publicised at the time of release, her credit was revealed only following her announcement as a member of Blackpink. The song peaked at number ten on South Korea's Gaon Music Chart and at number 15 on the Billboard Korea K-pop Hot 100.

2016–present: Debut with Blackpink and R

Rosé trained at YG Entertainment for four years before she was revealed as the final member of the girl group Blackpink on 22 June 2016. The group debuted on 8 August 2016 with the single album Square One, which featured the singles "Whistle" and "Boombayah".

Rosé appeared on various broadcast programs, such as King of Masked Singer. Her vocal performance on the show was met with warm reception by the audience, to which Rosé commented that she "didn't know if the audience would like [her] singing" and that she felt "happy and relieved" at the positive result. She later appeared as a performer on the second season of Fantastic Duo. The show's production staff stated that her appearance was intended to "reveal Rosé's vocal appeal, which is different from Blackpink".

On 1 June 2020, it was announced that Rosé would debut as a solo artist following the release of Blackpink's first Korean language full-length album. On 30 December 2020, in an interview with South Korean media outlet Osen, her label revealed that filming for her debut music video would begin in mid-January 2021. On 26 January 2021, a promotional teaser of Rosé's solo debut was released, revealing that a preview of her solo debut would be revealed through Blackpink Livestream Concert: The Show on 31 January 2021.

Rosé's debut single album, titled R, was released on 12 March 2021. With 41.6 million views in 24 hours of the music video for the lead single "On the Ground", she broke the almost eight-year record held by former labelmate Psy's "Gentleman" for the most viewed music video by a Korean soloist in 24 hours. "On the Ground" debuted and peaked at number one on both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, the first song by a Korean solo artist to do so. It peaked at number 70 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the highest-charting song by a Korean female soloist in the US. In the United Kingdom, "On the Ground" peaked at number 43 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the first song by a Korean female solo artist to enter the chart. In Canada, it debuted at number 35 on the Canadian Hot 100 and became the highest-charting hit by a Korean female soloist in the country. The album R also set the record for the highest first-week sales by a Korean female soloist, with 448,089 copies sold. On 24 March, Rosé received her first-ever music show win as a soloist with her single "On the Ground" on South Korean cable music program Show Champion and would go on to win five more. On 5 April, the music video for Rosé's song "Gone" was released.

"Hard to Love", a pop-disco solo sung by Rosé, is featured as the fifth track of Blackpink's second studio album Born Pink, which was released on 16 September 2022. Additionally, Rosé contributed songwriting credits to "Yeah Yeah Yeah", the fourth track of Born Pink.

On 22 November 2023, Rosé was invested by King Charles III as a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) alongside her fellow bandmates during a special investiture at Buckingham Palace which was also attended by President of South Korea Yoon Suk Yeol. On December 5, YG Entertainment confirmed that Rosé along with the other members of Blackpink had renewed their contracts for group activities and that the members' individual contracts were still under discussion.

Artistry

Influences and voice

In a radio interview, Rosé cited labelmate Taeyang of Big Bang as a role model in her musical career. She also named American singer Tori Kelly as an inspiration towards her musical style. Since her debut with Blackpink, Rosé's voice has received acknowledgement in the K-pop industry for its distinct vocal timbre and is nicknamed "the golden voice" amongst fans. Following Rosé's performance on Fantastic Duo 2, South Korean singer Gummy, whom Rosé cited as a musical role model, complimented Rosé's voice for being "so unique" and describing it as "the [type of] voice young people love".

She was the global face of Saint Laurent's Fall 2020 campaign. In January 2021, Rosé became the muse for luxury cosmetics brand Yves Saint Laurent Beauté. In September 2021, Rosé attended the Met Gala, a fundraising event held annually at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute in New York City, as Vaccarello's guest. As a result, she, alongside rapper CL, became the first female K-pop idols to attend the event.

In April 2021, Rosé became Tiffany & Co's global ambassador and starred in its 2021 Tiffany HardWear digital campaign. She stated, "I've always loved wearing Tiffany jewelry. Being part of an iconic brand that has been part of my life for a long time makes it much more special to me. I am very honoured and excited to be a part of the HardWear campaign and I can't wait for everyone to see it." In March 2022, Rosé became the face of 2022 Tiffany HardWear campaign. She was photographed by Mario Sorrenti wearing a new necklace, bracelet, and full pavé diamond pieces. In 2023 she made her debut on Cannes Film Festival.

Philanthropy

During the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season, Rosé posted on Instagram urging fans to support relief efforts, providing links to organizations that accepted donations and explaining, "We can make a difference if we all join in. Please help to save my home country". For the 2023 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, Rosé spoke at a mental health awareness event in Cupertino hosted by United States First Lady Jill Biden. In her speech, the singer opened up about her emotional struggles and the challenges that come with fame, and advocated for the prioritization of mental health just as much as maintaining one's physical well-being.

As of March 2023, Rosé is among the top 10 most-followed Korean individuals on Instagram. She is the fourth-most followed K-pop artist on the platform with over 66 million followers, behind bandmates Lisa, Jennie, and Jisoo. Since 2018, she has appeared on the Korean Business Research Institute's female celebrity brand reputation list, a chart that tracks Korean celebrities with the most online searches and engagements, and previously reached the top 10. Rosé was described as the "queen" among all the most influential acts by The Times in a magazine article on the Korean Wave in music, fashion and television published in October 2021, noting that she "started as part of the girl group Blackpink and is now a fashion influencer in her own right, possessing universal appeal that spans every continent." Vogue praised her fashion sense, stating "each of the band's beauties has her own take on fashion, but even alongside her well-dressed peers, Rosé stands out." Rosé was credited as the reason for the Yves Saint Laurent's Women's Summer 21 collection showcase earning 27.3 million views on YouTube, 11 million views on Instagram and Facebook, and 30.6 million views on Weibo in one day. The video of Saint Laurent's 2021 Spring/Summer collection reached 100 million views after Rosé was featured in the video. Rosé generated a media value of $6.6 million with a post of her wearing a black Saint Laurent dress, the highest media value of any endorser.

Rosé's impact extends to other artists in the music industry as well. On 10 February 2023, she released a cover of Stephen Sanchez's "Until I Found You" in honor of her birthday. The cover peaked at number one on the Billboard's Hot Trending Songs chart, and the original version concurrently rose 8% in U.S. streams during the same week. In December 2023, Rolling Stone AU/NZ named Rosé in their "Icons Issue" as one of 50 living icons from Australia and Aotearoa who have broken boundaries and opened doors for others. To be considered an icon, the magazine considered factors such as talent, charisma, enduring influence, and an "unmistakable Antipodean spirit." In particular, they recognized Rosé's impact on the music scene, describing her as "an artist who represents the success of K-Pop’s crossover into Western mainstream music." Rosé has also been recognized for her advocacy efforts; the First Lady of the United States Jill Biden praised Rosé as "a global superstar who is using her platform as a force for good in the world." She added, "She's also an outspoken advocate for mental health, and has greatly shared her story in the hopes of helping others."
