BLACKPINK's Rosé revealed the struggles she experienced while preparing her first studio album 'rosie.' On the 4th (local time), through an interview with the American fashion magazine 'PAPER,' Rosé talked about episodes related to the production of her first studio album 'rosie.' This full album is her first since her solo contract with YG ENTERTAINMENT ended last December. After BLACKPINK's last performance of the world tour 'BORN PINK' held at the Seoul Gocheok Sky Dome in September last year, the members have been pursuing solo activities. She stated, 'This full album was a battle with myself,' and added, 'In the early stages of album production, there was a lot of expectation and anxiety, but after letting my friends listen to the completed music, I gained strength thanks to their support.' Rosé completed the album through collaborations with various artists and producers, releasing the single 'APT.' as a pre-release track in collaboration with Bruno Mars. Bruno Mars mentioned about Rosé's song, 'APT. is interesting. Thanks to her, the song is gaining popularity at a fast pace.' 'APT.' is a unique number inspired by a game played at Korean drinking parties, and it has gained immense popularity right after its release. With this song, she achieved the highest ranking ever for a Korean female solo artist at 8th place on the US Billboard 'HOT 100,' and maintained the number one position on the 'Billboard Global' chart for two consecutive weeks. Additionally, she recorded 2nd place on the UK Official Singles Chart 'TOP 100,' setting a new record for K-POP female artists. Recently, despite her busy schedule, she expressed that she is 'incredibly happy' and introduced the theme of her new album. Rosé wanted to convey more honest and personal stories to her fans, explaining the album's theme as 'the confusion of my twenties.' In particular, some of the tracks address malicious comments and online defamation, honestly expressing her struggles that she had not shared with fans before, stating, 'I wanted to clarify the misunderstandings surrounding me and show my true self.' She added, 'I hope the new album will have special meaning for both me and my fans.' She also mentioned that she still frequently communicates with the other BLACKPINK members, revealing that Lisa encouraged her by saying, 'Make a lot of songs,' which became a great source of strength for her. Regarding her future activities, she expressed, 'I want to show my true self,' appealing to fans that she is 'ready to deliver special experiences with her own voice, not just as a member of BLACKPINK.' • BLACKPINK's Rosé, collaboration song 'APT.' ranks 2nd on the UK Singles Chart!
