Get ready for a bold revelation from the talented Rose of Blackpink! In a recent interview, she opened up about her solo aspirations and the challenges she faces. Rose, the 28-year-old K-pop sensation, has admitted that she's not quite ready to embark on a solo world tour just yet. But here's where it gets controversial... she believes she needs more time and a larger repertoire of songs to create the immersive experience she envisions for her fans.
Rose's collaboration with Bruno Mars, "Apt," has received three Grammy nominations, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop/Duo Performance. Despite this success, she feels that her solo catalog needs to be more extensive before she takes on the global stage alone. During an appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, Rose shared her thoughts, saying, "I need more time to build on that with extra songs. Right now, we have around 12, and I don't feel ready to present a complete body of work yet."
She asks her fans for patience, explaining, "I don't want to rush into it and ruin the experience. Once I start, I know I'll love it, and I want to do it for a long time."
Meanwhile, Blackpink is gearing up for the release of their new mini-album, "Deadline," on February 27th. The K-pop girl group, consisting of Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, and Rose, recently concluded their world tour of the same name, which began in South Korea in July 2025 and ended in Hong Kong in January 2026.
Following the release of their 2022 album, "Born Pink," the quartet has been focusing on their solo careers. Bandmate Lisa has teased that they've been back in the studio working on new music for an upcoming album. In an interview with Variety last May, Lisa expressed her excitement, saying, "We were in the studio just a few days ago. We can't wait to get back together and tour. We miss the Blinks, and we're eager to see them again."
So, what do you think? Is Rose's decision to hold off on a solo tour a wise one? Should she take her time to perfect her solo repertoire, or is she missing out on an opportunity? Let's discuss in the comments and share our thoughts on this intriguing topic!
