Born on February 11, 1997, Roseanne Park, better known by the mononym Rosé is a New Zealand singer based in South Korea. Born in New Zealand and raised in Australia, Rosé signed with South Korean label YG Entertainment following an audition in 2012, training there for four years. She eventually made her debut as a vocalist in the girl group BLACKPINK in August 2016. As a solo artist, she has featured in labelmate G-Dragon’s 2012 track “Without You”, which peaked at number ten on the Gaon Digital Chart.

Rosé trained at YG Entertainment for four years before her announcement as a member of BLACKPINK in June 2016. She was the last member to be revealed. The group debuted in August 2016 with the single album Square One, which produced the lead singles “Whistle” and ”Boombayah”.

The singer has also appeared on a variety of broadcast programmes such as music shows King of Masked Singer and Fantastic Duo 2. Her vocal performance on King of Masked Singer was met with a warm reception by the audience, to which Rosé commented that she “didn’t know if the audience would like [her] singing” and that she felt “happy and relieved” at the positive result. Rosé later appeared as a performer on the second season of Fantastic Duo. The show’s production staff stated that her appearance was intended to “reveal Rosé’s vocal appeal, which is different from BLACKPINK”.
