Rosé (BLACKPINK)

Roseanne Park Chae-young was born on 11 February 1997 in Auckland, New Zealand, to South Korean immigrant parents. At the age of seven, Rosé and her family moved to Melbourne, Australia.  She began singing and learned to play guitar and piano as a child and performed in church choirs. Rosé signed with South Korean label YG Entertainment following a successful audition in 2012 and trained for four years before debuting as a member of the girl group BLACKPINK in August 2016. In March 2021, Rosé made her solo debut with her single album R. The album sold 448,089 copies in its first week, the highest for a Korean female soloist. Its lead single “On the Ground” was a commercial success, peaking in the top five domestically and becoming the highest-charting song by a Korean female soloist on the US Billboard Hot 100, the ARIA Singles Chart and the UK Singles Chart. It was the first song by a Korean solo artist to top the Billboard Global 200 and earned Rosé two Guinness World Records. The album’s second single “Gone” peaked in the top ten in South Korea as well.
