**Rosé wanted to talk face to face. Now that I have measured by video calls, Rosé’s life is full of passion for music, love for existence, and sincere moments.**
**<Vog>, and the meeting with Saint Laurent is familiar, right? What fresh inspiration did you get from the previous pictorial shooting?**
It was nice to experience the new collection. Seeing the costumes full of unfamiliar silhouettes and fabrics, I thought that Saint Laurent and Anthony Bacarello had written a new history by taking on a new challenge this season. The silhouette looked somewhat complicated and difficult, but as soon as I put it on, I felt that there was a clear intention in every detail. The velvet high waist pants matched with a black blouse are especially memorable. It was the first silhouette I’ve ever experienced, but as soon as I put it on, it fell off just right for my body. It’s a combination of things, but it’s very chic.
**For the Saint Laurent fall collection, Anthony Bacarello returned to the starting point of the house and explored the style of Françoise Ardi, which is the symbol of Yves Saint Laurent and French chic. With the new combination of fashion houses and designers, we are proving our creativity even at this moment when the fashion world is turbulent. What is your favorite branch in Saint Laurent of Anthony Bacarello?**
Anthony’s design has a hidden magnificence. It looks cool and shiny on the outside, but the glitter that can be felt even if you can’t see it is more attractive than anything else.
**As an artist of the era, he has been taking on various challenges about fashion. Do you have any confidence in what suits me best, my own style and taste?**
I have a better understanding of what clothes can be worn more comfortably and confident than before. It doesn’t seem to be that old. I’m going to choose something that can represent my persona while making everything from a ring to a hairstyle.
**You came back to Blackpink after a long time. How did you go on stage at the Goyang performance, which was the beginning of the Blackpink world tour? On the day of the performance, you felt the deep affection and excitement for that moment from the gift of a customized bouquet to the members.**
I wanted to present a performance that would comfort ‘Blink’, become a festival, and a happy home. Everyone who looks at us back at home ground says, ‘Blackpink is the best!’ I wanted it to be a strong comeback stage that I could feel.
**There are various opinions about the title of the new world tour ‘DEADLINE’.**
It’s a title decided by Teddy and all the members. There was a story that a great artist answered ‘deadline’ when asked about the best inspiration for creation, and I sympathized with him from the point of view of creating. My album <rosie> was born like that. Because there was a deadline, I worked more freely and poured everything out more boldly.
*+From their own music to BLACKPINK’s new song ‘JUMP’, it was a hot performance for more than 2 hours. I think it was a new feeling to make music together after a long time and prepare for a performance.**
I was excited. In your 20s, there are so many things to feel and learn every day that you become a completely different person even in a year. We worked on every process with the expectation that if we, who would have changed once again during each activity, would come out what kind of creation would come out. Sure enough, a very good synergy came out, and that moment made me happy.
**You felt the familiarity that you missed.**
Of course. Because I’ve been living as Blackpink for a long time. With that kind of pride, all the process of thinking about what to challenge together this time was fun and interesting.
**I guess the performance of the first solo album <rosie> would have been a good springboard. ‘APT’ is still on the chart. You was also recognized as a singer-songwriter with 12 tracks that you wrote and composed yourself, including. What was the most meaningful reaction?**
There are so many··· I think the most shocking thing was when an acquaintance listened to my song before something really important and heard that things went well. I’m not a fan, but I’m really surprised and happy to hear that my song was helpful. The fact that my music is with someone’s daily life is touching.
**This album is full of autobiological stories, and you introduce “it contains all of my 20s”. Have you never hesitated in the process of making honest music?**
On the day when I tried to pack something even a little nice when I was working, I always felt uncomfortable when I got home. I believe that my role as a musician is to make people who listen to my music empathize and feel a sense of belonging. It was all such songs that gave me courage and comfort when I was a trainee. I had to be very, very honest in order to make an album that embraces both the feelings that have nowhere to go and the idea that they might not be easily recognized when they were revealed to others.
**Do you sometimes listen to songs made by yourself?**
I rarely listen.( Laughter) But on the day I hear a story that someone heard my song and felt something, I go home and listen to it. I’m so curious about where you felt that feeling.
**2/2**
**Where do you find a breakthrough when you can’t get immediate comfort from music?**
There was never a moment when I couldn’t comfort me no matter what kind of music I listened to. But if you’re in such a situation, it’s best to find a good person, family, friend, mentor, or dog who doesn’t judge me prematurely, listen to me, and who accepts me. The easier it is to judge others, the more important it is to have such a person by your side.
**Will the second full-length album that will come out one day be an extension of <rosie>? Or is it completely different?**
It will evolve, right? I don’t know what I’m going to experience in the future, and I already have a lot of feelings that are different from that time. I’m getting to know myself, too. These days, I think I should lead my life as well as I want to be good at work and music.
**’Messy(From F1: The Movie)’ came out at the most lyrical timing of the recently released <F1 The Movie>. I also listened to ‘Viva La Vida’, which was used as the ending song of <Pachinko> season 2, for a while. Especially when it resounds in the story, it’s a very appealing voice.**
Really? Thank you! I was worried because <Pachinko> was working on the first OST, but it was a project that I immediately accepted when I heard that Coldplay’s ‘Viva La Vida’ was covered. I challenged with one mind that it would be fun without thinking about how the song would be used and what this job would mean in my career. I was also suspicious of the proposal of <F1 The Movie> at first. It came with a big project. So to the production team, “There are many other good candidates besides me, right?” I asked, but he said, “No, I really want Mr. Rose to do it.” Fortunately, they liked all the songs I made, and I’m glad that my voice helped the emotional line of the movie. I realized that making music according to the movie with this collaboration is also a very interesting job.
**It was an unforgettable experience to stand alone in the middle of the strip street in Las Vegas to shoot the music video of ‘Messy’. I heard that it is extremely rare for that place, the world’s largest downtown, to be controlled. Especially at midnight on Saturday, which is the golden time.**
There were a lot of restrictions before the shooting, but when I went there, it was really in the middle of Las Vegas! In an instant, a lot of tension and anxiety came. While many people were watching, I tried my best to finish the shooting professionally smoothly without falling down. Still, I remember vowing, ‘This is an opportunity that won’t come again, so let’s remember this special moment’.
**You look natural and free at every moment, but you’re nervous.**
Of course! How to cope with the situation, how to control your mind··· The more you know, the more nervous you are. Of course, there will be times when I overcome it, but that kind of tremor seems to be proof of love and passion for what I want to do.
**What if there is a sentence that comes to mind as usual?**
It’s not a special sentence, but I don’t want to forget that everything is done by people. Regardless of the scale and importance of this interview, video shooting, stage, recording, everything is ultimately between people. I feel comfortable when I think of a strange encounter as a time when I and someone’s experience meet. It’s the same when you post on Instagram. Considering the impact on many people, it makes me cringe, but when I think that I will touch someone again, I feel much more relieved. Otherwise, everything feels too difficult.
**It seems that being a guest and an audience with a colleague’s performance is also a sincere move. Recently, he appeared as a guest on Coldplay and Psy’s performance, and he enjoyed the performance of Coachella and Charlie XCX with Jennie and Lisa more passionately than anyone else.**
Because I am a person with a lot of passion for work, I can easily relate to the passion of others. I want to support you. The time to cheer for my acquaintances is rather a time to rest for me.
**Is there a principle to build or maintain a human relationship?**
I don’t think too much. When you think a lot, give yourself a ‘no thought’ order and focus on that moment again. Even if it’s a short conversation like talking about the weather, even if it’s just a very small sympathy, I accept it all as a precious ‘connection’. It would be really grateful if you could laugh a lot and learn something in the process.
**I can feel warmth and confidence in all the answers. You will continue to be busy for a while with the Blackpink world tour that will continue through the United States and Europe until next year. What if I could tell you about your mindset these days?**
There have been so many things so far. Of course, there were difficult, lonely, and hard times. But strangely, it looked different depending on how I accepted it. I realized that if I miss the value and gratitude of the moment, I have a harder time than anyone else. I will never forget that realization in the future. It’s not a perfect life, but I’m trying to ‘go straight’.
**’Rosie’ is a nickname that family and close friends use when they sing. After the release of <rosie>, many people called her ‘Rosie’. How do you feel?**
I love you so much! Even in Korea, many people call me Rosie. Whenever that happens, I feel like I’m going back to the age of sixteen when I always clean my room in Australia without thinking. After becoming a singer, I break through the many personas I put on and my most honest side comes out. I like that so much. Rosie is a magic word with such power. VK
