Rosé, whose full birth name is Roseanne Park (Park Chaeyoung), was born on February 11, 1997, in Auckland, New Zealand. While her birthplace was New Zealand, she spent her formative years growing up in the vibrant city of Melbourne, Australia, where her family eventually settled. Her childhood home was a musical one, fostering an early and profound interest in singing, which her parents wholeheartedly encouraged. This supportive upbringing led her to join a local church choir, where she began to cultivate her vocal talents and gain initial experience performing in front of an audience. Beyond her musical pursuits, Rosé also actively participated in cheerleading, an activity that further showcased her natural stage presence and comfort in the spotlight from a remarkably young age. As she progressed to her secondary education at Canterbury Girls Secondary College in Melbourne, she demonstrated a remarkable ability to balance her academic commitments with her ever-growing and undeniable passion for music.

A truly pivotal and life-changing moment occurred in 2012 when Rosé was just 15 years old. Her father, recognizing her immense potential, strongly encouraged her to attend a global audition being held by the prominent South Korean entertainment agency, YG Entertainment, right there in Australia. Despite her initial hesitation and feelings of being unprepared for such a significant opportunity, her father's unwavering insistence ultimately swayed her. This decision proved to be transformative, as Rosé not only participated but excelled remarkably, finishing first out of an impressive 700 participants. Her outstanding performance immediately secured her acceptance as a trainee with YG Entertainment. Later that same year, she made the courageous decision to move halfway across the world to Seoul, South Korea. There, she dedicated the next four years and two months to an incredibly rigorous training regimen, meticulously honing her skills in singing, dancing, and mastering the Korean language, all in dedicated preparation for her highly anticipated debut with the global phenomenon, BLACKPINK.

Rosé debuted as a member of BLACKPINK on August 8, 2016, with the single album Square One. The group's explosive popularity quickly made them a global phenomenon, and Rosé's voice became one of the most recognizable in K-pop. She co-wrote several songs for the group and gained a reputation as a powerful vocalist.

In 2021, she released her debut solo single album R with the lead track On the Ground. The song topped the Billboard Global 200, making her the first Korean solo artist to achieve that feat. The album's b-side Gone also charted well, and her solo debut was praised for its emotional depth and polished production.

In 2024, Rosé signed with THEBLACKLABEL and Atlantic Records for her solo activities and released her debut studio album rosie. The album featured the smash single Apt. with Bruno Mars, which debuted in the top 5 of the Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart. Her solo success continued into 2026, when she performed at the Grammy Awards as the first K-pop soloist ever invited to do so. She remains an active member of BLACKPINK while also building a strong solo career. [edit]
