Life and career

1997–2015: Early life and career

Roseanne Park (Korean: 박채영; Park Chae-young) was born on 11 February 1997[2][3] in Auckland, New Zealand, to South Korean immigrant parents.[4] She has an older sister. In 2004, at the age of seven, Rosé and her family moved to Melbourne, Australia.[5] Rosé attended Canterbury Girls' Secondary College in Melbourne.[6] She began singing and learned to play guitar and piano as a child and performed in church choirs.[5][6]

In 2012, 15-year-old Rosé attended an audition in Australia for South Korean record label YG Entertainment at her father's suggestion[5] and was ranked first among 700 participants.[7][8] Within two months she had signed with the label and moved to Seoul.[6] Rosé initially thought her father's idea was a joke due to the distance and difficulty of becoming a singer overseas, stating:

In Australia, I didn't think that there was much of a chance for me to become a singer, especially to become a K-pop star... I was living so far from the country that it never really occurred to me as a possibility.[5]

The same year, Rosé was given an opportunity to feature on labelmate G-Dragon's song "Without You" off his EP One of a Kind (2012). Her name was not publicised at the time of release with her credit revealed following her announcement as a Blackpink member.[9] The song peaked at number ten on South Korea's Gaon Music Chart and at number 15 on the Billboard Korea K-pop Hot 100.[10][11]

Rosé trained at YG Entertainment for four years before her announcement as a member of Blackpink in June 2016. She was the last member to be revealed.[12] The group debuted on 8 August 2016 with the single album Square One and lead singles "Whistle" and ''Boombayah".[13]

The singer has also appeared on a variety of broadcast programmes such as music shows King of Masked Singer and Fantastic Duo 2. Her vocal performance on King of Masked Singer was met with a warm reception by the audience, to which Rosé commented that she "didn't know if the audience would like [her] singing" and that she felt "happy and relieved" at the positive result.[4] Rosé later appeared as a performer on the second season of Fantastic Duo. The show's production staff stated that her appearance was intended to "reveal Rosé's vocal appeal, which is different from Blackpink".[14] On June 2, 2020, YG Entertainment announced that Rosé would debut solo in September 2020, following the release of Blackpink’s first full album.[15]

Artistry

Rosé's voice has received acknowledgement in the K-pop industry for its distinct vocal timbre, following her debut as a member of Blackpink.[16] Following Rosé's performance on an episode of Fantastic Duo 2, South Korean singer Gummy, whom Rosé cited as a musical role model,[14] stated that "[Rosé's] voice is so unique, it's the [type of] voice young people love".[17]

Through a radio interview, Rosé cited labelmate senior Big Bang's Taeyang as her role model towards her musical career.[18] As a musician, Rosé also considers American singer Tori Kelly an inspiration on her musical style.[19]

Other ventures

Endorsements

In 2018, Rosé and fellow Blackpink member Jisoo were selected as endorsement models for the South Korean cosmetics brand Kiss Me.[20] In October 2019, Rosé was revealed as a promotional model for the Perfect World Entertainment's MMORPG Perfect World Mobile.[21] In 2020, Rosé was reported to be a global ambassador for Yves Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello.[22]

Influence

As of April 2020, Rosé was the third most-followed K-pop idol on Instagram with over 25 million followers.[23] Rosé has appeared on the Korean Business Research Institute's female celebrity brand reputation list since 2018,[24] a chart that tracks the Korean celebrities with the most online searches and engagements. She has also reached the top 20.[25]
