BLACKPINK's Rosé mentioned her juniors, NewJeans. On the 18th (local time), she spoke about her upcoming 1st full album 'rosie' in an interview with the British fashion magazine 'i-D'. This album is an emotional work that incorporates the thrills and troubles she felt in her early 20s, making it very meaningful for Rosé. During the interview, she was asked about the conflicts involving NewJeans and HYBE, as well as the controversy surrounding former ADOR representative Min Hee-jin. In response, she smiled and briefly said, 'I want to talk about positive things. I love them.' Rosé also frankly confessed her anxiety ahead of the album release, saying, 'It's the best chance to show people the 'real Rosé', but I worry that I might ruin it.' She shared her feelings during the production process, especially while focusing on work in America, stating, 'Making the album was a healing process for myself. It was the only time I could feel mentally stable.' However, she mentioned that there were also tough times, saying, 'I cried myself to sleep many nights,' and added that she was overly conscious of herself, checking people's reactions on social media until dawn. Regarding the new album, she said, 'I wanted to show that I am a person who feels the same emotions as everyone else,' and she made efforts to capture her human side. The recently released pre-release track 'APT.', a collaboration with Bruno Mars, has gained attention, achieving the remarkable feat of reaching 8th place on the US Billboard 'HOT100' chart. Rosé revealed, 'I didn't think this song would be loved so much. I hoped people would be excited and dance to it, but I never expected so many people to react right after its release. I was very surprised.' She continued, expressing her joy about the song creating a global sensation, saying, 'I felt so loved and am truly grateful.' Finally, she spoke about the difference between BLACKPINK's activities and her solo work, saying, 'If BLACKPINK is the place that fulfilled my dreams, then my solo album is to show my true self and the new dreams I aim for.' She is scheduled to appear on various shows, including tvN's variety program 'You Quiz ON THE BLOCK', KBS 2TV's 'THE SEASONS-Rainbow', and BIGBANG's D-LITE's YouTube channel 'House (Outside) Taisong'.
