Roseanne Park (born 11 February 1997), known by her stage name Rosé, is a famous singer from New Zealand and South Korea. She was born in New Zealand and grew up in Australia. In 2012, she moved to South Korea after passing a musical audition with the agency YG Entertainment. She became internationally famous as a member of the girl group Blackpink. Blackpink debuted in 2016 and quickly became one of the best-selling girl groups of all time.

In 2021, Rosé released her first solo work, a single album called R. It set huge sales records for Korean female solo singers. Her hit song "On the Ground" reached number one on the Billboard Global 200 chart. She also became the first Korean female solo singer to enter the famous UK Singles Chart. Her music video set records on YouTube for receiving the most views in one single day.

Later in her career, Rosé joined The Black Label and Atlantic Records. She teamed up with pop superstar Bruno Mars on the song "APT." in 2024. The catchy track became a global smash hit, topping charts worldwide. It came from her full solo album called Rosie.

Rosé has won many top musical prizes, including a Brit Award, eight Guinness World Records, and an MTV Video Music Award. She earned nominations at the Grammy Award ceremonies, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year. She works as a fashion model for major brands like Yves Saint Laurent. In addition to music, she supports charities and helps protect nature.

The Early Life and Musical Beginnings of Rosé

Roseanne Park was born on 11 February 1997 in Auckland, New Zealand. Her Korean name is Park Chae-young. Her parents were immigrants from South Korea, and she has an older sister. When she was seven years old, her family moved to Melbourne, Australia.

Growing up in Australia, Rosé discovered her great love for music. She learned how to play both the guitar and the piano. She also loved to sing in church choirs as a young child. She attended Kew East Primary School and later studied at Canterbury Girls' Secondary College in Melbourne.

In 2012, her father learned that the South Korean talent agency YG Entertainment was holding auditions in Sydney. He encouraged her to try out for the company. Rosé loved K-pop music, but she thought becoming a singer in another country seemed impossible. She competed against 700 other hopeful singers and won first place. She left school, signed a trainee contract, and moved to Seoul, South Korea, to pursue her musical dreams.

Later that year, Rosé sang on the song "Without You" by popular artist G-Dragon. The song appeared on his solo record One of a Kind. The song performed well on the Gaon Music Chart and reached the top fifteen on the Billboard Korea K-pop Hot 100. Her identity remained a secret until she later debuted with Blackpink.

Rising to Global Fame with Blackpink

Rosé spent four years practicing singing and dancing as a trainee in Seoul. On 22 June 2016, YG Entertainment revealed that Rosé was the final member of a brand-new group called Blackpink. Blackpink made their official debut in August 2016 with their single album Square One. The album featured two major hit songs called "Whistle" and "Boombayah". The songs quickly climbed music charts all across the world.

Blackpink became famous for their energetic dancing, cool fashion, and upbeat songs. In 2018, the group signed with Interscope Records to release music internationally. Rosé also appeared on Korean television shows to show off her singing talents. She sang while wearing a costume on the competition show King of Masked Singer. The audience cheered loudly for her unique vocal tone. She later sang on the show Fantastic Duo, where critics praised her bright voice.

In 2022, Blackpink released their hit studio album Born Pink. Rosé sang a solo disco-pop track on the album titled "Hard to Love". She also helped write the lyrics for another song on the album named "Yeah Yeah Yeah". The group launched massive world tours that filled stadiums in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Rosé Launches Her Successful Solo Career

Her First Solo Record: R

In March 2021, Rosé released her very first solo project, named R. The record sold nearly 450,000 copies in its first week alone. That was the highest first-week sales total ever achieved by a Korean female soloist at the time.

The main song from the project was titled "On the Ground". When the music video arrived on YouTube, it received 41.6 million views in just 24 hours. This broke an eight-year-old record previously set by Psy with his video for "Gentleman". The song went to number one on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Global Excl. U.S. chart. Because she had already hit number one with Blackpink, she became the first artist to reach the top spot both alone and in a group.

The song was also popular in many countries. It reached number four on the Gaon Digital Chart and number three on the K-pop Hot 100. In America, it reached number 70 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the United Kingdom, it entered the UK Singles Chart at number 43. It also performed well on the Canadian Hot 100. Rosé won six music trophies on Korean music programs, starting on Show Champion. Her second single, "Gone", also became a worldwide streaming favorite.

The Global Sensation of Rosie and APT.

In late 2023, Rosé and her bandmates renewed their contracts for Blackpink group activities with YG Entertainment. However, they chose to manage their solo careers independently. In 2024, Rosé joined The Black Label, a company created by producer Teddy. She also signed a worldwide solo record deal with Atlantic Records.

Rosé sang a special cover version of the famous Coldplay song "Viva la Vida". Her version was chosen for the second season of the television show Pachinko on Apple TV+. She also sang "Final Love Song" for the music competition program I-Land 2: N/a.

In October 2024, Rosé teamed up with famous American singer Bruno Mars to release the single "APT.". The song was based on a playful Korean clapping game. It quickly became a viral sensation across the globe. "APT." went straight to number one on global music rankings. It topped the official ARIA Singles Chart in Australia, making Rosé the first female Korean soloist to reach the very top there.

"APT." climbed all the way to number two on the UK Singles Chart. In the United States, the song reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100. It entered the top ten on the Radio Songs chart, setting another world record. On Spotify, Rosé gained more than 50 million monthly listeners. The song reached one billion streams in just 100 days. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry named "APT." the top-selling global single of the year.

Rosé released the track "Number One Girl" in November 2024 after partnering with Warner Chappell Music. On 6 December 2024, her debut full-length solo album, Rosie, arrived in stores alongside the single "Toxic Till the End". The album reached number three on the US Billboard 200 chart. It also reached number four on the UK Albums Chart and number two on the ARIA Albums Chart.

Rosé continued to share exciting new music projects. In 2025, she contributed the energetic song "Messy" to the official soundtrack F1 the Album for the sports drama film F1. She also sang a duet called "On My Mind" with musician Alex Warren for his album You'll Be Alright, Kid. In September 2026, she released another solo song titled "New Trick", using an iPhone 18 Pro to film the entire music video in partnership with Apple.

Artistic Style and Musical Inspirations

Music critics often praise Rosé for her distinct and expressive voice. The magazine Vogue described her vocal style as an energetic soprano. Fans often call her vocal tone the "golden voice" because it sounds bright, clear, and emotional. Her singing voice has a special timbre (sound quality) that allows her to sing both soft acoustic ballads and upbeat dance songs.

Veteran Korean singer Gummy praised Rosé's singing style, calling it unique and fresh. Music writers note that Rosé sings with a lot of feeling, which helps listeners connect deeply to the stories in her songs.

Rosé finds inspiration in many different styles of music. When she was younger, she listened to singer Taeyang from the popular group Big Bang. She has also named American pop and soul singer Tori Kelly as a major influence on her musical approach. Rosé often performs while playing her acoustic guitar or keyboard during live concerts.

In 2023, Rosé traveled to California for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. She gave an inspiring speech alongside United States First Lady Jill Biden in Cupertino.

Rosé loves animals very much. In 2024, she donated money from her holiday calendar sales to help animal shelters rescue pets in need.

Because of her work teaching people about environmental protection, Rosé received a royal honour. She worked closely with leaders to support the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in the United Kingdom. In November 2023, King Charles III appointed her a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace. South Korean leader Yoon Suk Yeol also attended the event.
