BLACKPINK’s Rosé Can Never Forget The Time She Was Praised As A Trainee

On December 11, BLACKPINK’s Rosé, who recently dropped her new album, appeared on tvN’s You Quiz on the Block.

On the show, she shared various stories throughout her career and even started crying, as she talked about when she was younger.

She also revealed that she remembers the first time she was praised as a trainee.

After passing the YG auditions and moving to Korea alone at 16, she recalls how tough it was for her.

I cried every night and video-called my parents. My dad told me to come back to Australia if it became too hard, but I knew for sure that wasn’t true. I told myself I wouldn’t leave Korea until I achieved my dream of becoming a singer.

When she first left Australia, she recalls many people asking her what she would do.

Many people asked me what I was going to do, and didn’t understand me. I just told them, ‘Wait and see,’ so I couldn’t accept returning without achieving anything. That become my driving force.

She also called herself the “worst trainee” as she lacked confidence while practicing.

“We shared a practice room, and when I lacked confidence, I couldn’t practice as much as I wanted, so I needed time when no one was around so I could do whatever I wanted.

I remember thinking, ‘I practiced well’ after I saw the sunrise at dawn after practice. I thought I was a cool trainee.”

She also never forgot the time she was praised in class.

I still remember the first time I was complimented. Lisa danced so well I thought I should dance like her, so I practiced a lot. Then, the next day after class, the teacher said, ‘Please clap for Lisa and Chaeyoung.’ I thought my dream had come true as my name was called along with Lisa.

Meanwhile, Rosé was reportedly signed by a popular Korean fried chicken brand, but has since denied the claims.
