On January 30, Elle Korea released a new video on its official YouTube channel in which Rosé answers a series of lighthearted questions. During the interview, she was asked if she was selected as the highest-ranked woman on the globally recognized list, and her answer quickly caught fans’ attention.
Visibly shy, Rosé admitted she was still struggling to process the result. “I honestly still don’t understand it. It doesn’t feel real,” he said, laughing, adding that she felt deeply grateful for the recognition.
When asked if she had any “beauty secrets,” Rosé gave a refreshingly down-to-earth answer. “I try to fill my days with happiness by eating delicious food and always smiling brightly,” she shared. He also jokingly revealed his current cravings, saying she’s been obsessed with strawberries this winter and also likes to eat things like dried calamari.
Rosé’s ranking was officially announced in December 2025 by US film site TC Candler, which publishes its annual report “The 100 most beautiful faces” list through global public nominations and editorial review. Her first place finish in the women’s category immediately became a hot topic in international fan communities.
The 2025 list once again highlighted K-pop’s global influence, with numerous Korean idols making their entry. aespa’s Karina ranked 8th, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo ranked 11th, while TWICE’s Tzuyu came in 20th. Other notable names include Lisa at 22nd, Jeon Somi at 24th and IVE’s Jang Wonyoung at 26th.
Rosé’s chart-topper not only highlights her star power, but also reinforces K-pop’s continued dominance in global pop culture, proving that its impact extends far beyond just music.
