As for Rose, in March 2021, she started a solo career with her debut single album titled R. The album sold nearly 4,50,000 copies in its first week, informs Allkpop. This was a record for a female K-pop soloist at that time.
Her lead single from album R, titled On The Ground quickly gained a huge following. It topped the charts and broke many records, including the most-viewed music video in 24 hours by a solo K-pop artist. The album’s second track, Gone, also performed well and reached the top ten rank in South Korea.
Apart from these musical accolades, the idol is also known for her fashion sense. She is a global ambassador for Yves Saint Laurent. In 2021, she made history as the first female Korean idol to attend the Met Gala. On social media too, Rose enjoys immense popularity.
Talking about the group Rose belongs to, BLACKPINK has been a global sensation for quite a few years now. Their debut single album Square One, released in 2016, featured hits like Whistle and Boombayah. The group continued to break records with their subsequent releases. Ddu-Du Ddu-Du was the first song by a Korean female group to enter the UK Singles Chart and receive RIAA certification.
