BLACKPINK’s Rosé reflects on her struggles inside the Kpop industry

BLACKPINK’s Rosé is right now one of the most popular idols of the Kpop scene due to the recent success of her single, “APT” with Bruno Mars. However, the idol has taken the chance to talk about the struggles of being an idol nowadays in a recent interview.

On November 23, The New York Times published a heartfelt interview with Rosé ahead of the release of her first solo album, “Rosie,” which is scheduled to be released on December 6. Although she is happy about the release, she thought she couldn’t do it as she doubted herself a lot during the process.

On top of that, Rosé explained how she became a trainee at YG Entertainment in 2012 after passing an audition at the age of 15. After all these years, she wanted to share how isolated she felt during the first years of her career, and all of her efforts paid off.

“The loneliness I had to endure was something I didn’t fully understand. It was traumatic to the point of being shocking, but I survived. The first few years were personally very difficult, but over time, I started to adapt and learned how to navigate this new world.”
