BLACKPINK member Rosé shared insights into her family, career and inspiration behind her music during an interview on JTBC Press room.
On feeling the impact of his success
When asked if she realizes the extent of her popularity, Rosé said:“Since I work abroad every day, most of the reactions I have seen are online. However, when I arrived in Korea a few days ago, so many people came to welcome me at the airport, and that’s when it really hit me.”
He also mentioned the support of his BLACKPINK members, saying:
“When my song came out, Lisa video called me and we talked for two hours. Members often send me videos whenever they hear my music playing outdoors.
His family’s role in his journey
Rosé reflected on her father’s influence on her career:
“My dad just suggested I audition for the experience; he never imagined that it would mean he wouldn’t be able to see me often. Sometimes he says he misses me because of this.”
She credited her father with helping her discover her dream, saying:
“It was with his encouragement that I auditioned in Australia, and it turned out to be my calling. I’m so grateful for that.“
His internship days and his motivation
Rosé also spoke about her internship years:
“The company took care of me, which I am very grateful for. Being so far from home, I felt I had to make it. Even when I called my family crying, they said, “Come back anytime—we just wanted you to have the experience.” But I refused, saying I had to debut before returning.”
