In a recent interview, BLACKPINK’s Rosé spoke about the group’s current direction and their decision to take a year off to focus on personal projects before reuniting as a group. Having worked together for over a decade, Rosé acknowledged the challenges but stressed that this was the right time for the members to explore their individual paths.
When asked why now is the ideal time for solo ventures, Rosé explained: “After a year-long world tour with BLACKPINK, we have been working non-stop. We’ve been by each other’s side through it all, and with the release of several new songs, it seems like it’s the perfect time for us to look for new inspiration. In addition to being artists, we are also creators, and this time allows us to focus on ourselves and grow individually.”
He went on to say that all four members of BLACKPINK agree on this approach. “The four of us have promised to dedicate an entire year to pursuing what each of us desires. Then we will come back together, stronger. The great thing is that we all agreed on this decision wholeheartedly.”
Rosé’s heartfelt comments reflect the strength of BLACKPINK’s bond, as the group remains united despite taking individual paths. He added, “I feel really lucky. Sometimes it’s a matter of timing and I’m grateful that we’re all mature enough to know what we really want right now. It makes me really happy.”
