Rosé shared insights into the pressure that Blackpink has on the group to represent perfection.
During the conversation with The New York Times, the On The Ground singer candidly shared the 'strict' training from the South Korean music industry.
“We were trained to always present ourselves in the most perfect, perfect way,” the songstress began by saying.
At the time, Rosé highlighted the Korean fandom culture and she continued, “And so even when we were interacting with fans online, it was when I was ready to give perfect answers and give them what they wanted.”
“And making sure that I’m a perfect girl for everyone.”
“I feel like the transition of now having to be on camera and being an artist and presenting to the world who I am, that’s something we just had to learn as we went,” she added
Moreover, the 27-year singer recalled her struggles in the beginning of training and she told the outlet, “The first few years were very difficult for me, personally. But a few years in, I started picking it up and learning.”
“I think it’s still hard, actually. It kind of never stopped since then.”
“I had moments where I was like: ‘Wait, can we say this? Wait, maybe we shouldn’t put that word in there. Maybe this is too much. Should we not?'” before concluding she added.
Blackpink’s Rosé solo album Rosié is scheduled to be released on December 5, 2024.
