Introducing Blackpink's beloved flower of the group - Rose! Though, she has a dainty look to her, all roses need their thorns. And, she is beautifully powerful in the crowd with her signature voice, dance moves that present effortlessly, heartwarming bond with her fans, and styles that makes her Rose.
Though, there is more to meets the eye behind her sweet smile, heart, and eyes. And, she is no exception to the intense training and struggles that were put on her with the other trainees for Blackpink. She struggled with loneliness and isolation in training, as well as the continuous fear of failure and returning to her home country. And, she described her training as a "nearly soul-crushing" experience, hiding no truth behind the grueling schedule and pressure to present a perfect image. However, she ended up coming out stronger out on top through this test of time.
If you listen to Rose's voice, I know you will agree with me that it will lock its place in your heart and mind. And, if you watch her stage performance, you will notice her own personal spin in the way she moves her body in a captivating way. Her solo debut song "On the Ground" from her solo album "R" especially showcases this through empowering lyrics and stage performances that helped her win number one on the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. US charts. Also, her collaboration song with her own favorite artist Bruno Mars "Apt." further boosted her popularity as it brought Bruno Mars fans to her, as it spent 12 weeks at number one on the Billboard Global 200. Although, her debut album "Rosie" showcases her ability to create a cohesive and emotionally resonant body of work.
Rose lives as Blackpink's Sweetheart through her genuine and heartfelt interactions with Blinks. She consistently expresses her gratitude and acknowledges their importance to her by actively engaging with her audience, openly sharing her personal thoughts and experiences, and creating a sense of community. And, she maintains her sweetheart image through by a mix of high-fashion collaborations, personal style preferences, and stage performance looks with pieces like strong-shouldered blazers, ultra mini-skirts, and waist-snatching trousers with her blonde hair styled in a long mermaid-like way.
There you have her, Rose. She proves that feminism can look soft and sweet, while still making a mark. This makes Rose our "Number One Girl."
