Recently, female idol singer Rose (Blackpink) became the cover face for the summer issue of Dazed magazine, the main version of the UK version.
Introducing Rose, the magazine wrote: Bringing K-pop to places where other artists can only dream of, Rose will return with Blackpink this summer after a record-breaking solo. Your number one girl says that she still dreams of getting back in the crowd.
Dazeds editor praised Roses album Rosie released late last year and the explosive success of her Bruno Mars collaboration with global hit APT..
The magazine commented that the album Rosie created a seamless integration between vibrant Kpop music and mainstream pop music, eventually bringing Roses reputation and success beyond the scope of Korea.
Her record-breaking album Album has become the most successful album of all time for a K-pop artist in the United States. It has topped the Billboard chart and is currently on track to reach 5 billion streams.
Before the end of the year, Rose had submitted a request to withdraw from the Korea Music copyright Association, possibly to continue expanding its global reach, the magazine wrote.
After releasing her debut album, Rose wondered if she had done everything she wanted, or was there anything else she could do? Finally, the female singer concluded: "I can't do anything more". She put all her heart, soul and many things into it.
Rose emphasized that the album "Rosie" was "the biggest gift I had ever had", making her truly happy. Through the album making process, the female singer learned to sit with herself, accept her own weaknesses and be comfortable with them.
During the interview, Rose faced many times questions that were considered sensitive, but according to Dazed's editor, the Blackpink singer gave cautious and polite answers.
In particular, an answer from her is receiving many compliments and spreading on social networks.
The editor asked Rose if she had any ambitions for the Grammy Awards, considering the success of the album Rosie.
Rose paused for a moment to calm down, then she shared: "It's definitely great. But I think, if it brings greater meaning to my community, then that is really special.
That is my top priority, and any award or ceremony behind me will be a more deserving reward.
Editor Dazed must admit that this is like a perfect answer to a beauty pageant but it is also very sincere.
Like most international artists, being nominated or winning a Grammy award is great, but Rose does not put the title first, but for her, glory is only truly complete when it brings meaning beyond herself.
