The news that BLACKPINK’s Rosé is set to release her first solo studio album, ‘Rosie’, on December 6th has captivated fans. In an interview with The New York Times, Rosé expressed her deep sentiments about the upcoming album, saying, “I have waited my whole life to release this album.” She candidly shared her emotions during the album-making process, admitting, “Releasing this album felt like a dream, but I never thought it would actually come true.”

Rosé, who was born in New Zealand and moved to Australia at the age of eight, began her trainee life at 15 after passing an audition for YG Entertainment. In the interview, she reminisced about her trainee days, describing them as “a battle with loneliness.” She revealed, “Loneliness was a huge shock to me, but I endured that time,” highlighting how she overcame those tough times.
