BLACKPINK Rosé recently released her solo album, R. Although it is an album she is extremely proud of, she couldn’t help but reveal that it only made her treasure her members more.
"The members did the things I had to do, together with me. But (in a solo album), the things I have to do and take responsibility for increases as well, so I think I hugely felt that empty space. While preparing for the solo promotions, I felt it even more so that there’s so much to learn from while promoting as a group."
— Rosé
Rosé shared that it was through R that she truly realized how precious the growth and development as a group was to her, as well as how precious the members themselves were.
Of course, the girls of BLACKPINK thoroughly encouraged Rosé in the preparation process for her solo.
"The members each cheered me on a lot. I felt just how much strength others’ support gives you. I felt even more reassured. Jennie unnie gave me gifts cutely and video called me. Jisoo unnie told me how happy she was (for me) while saying I should do everything I want to during these promotions. Lisa also went around saying to the staff how cool I was. I was very thankful."
— Rosé
What a sweet friendship these girls share! Make sure to catch “On The Ground” below and show some love.

According to her agency YG Entertainment, Rosé's first solo single album '-R-' has surpassed 400,000 preorders as of March 8, only 4 days after it was available for pre-ordering. This is the highest record for a female solo artist in South Korea.

Their first full-length album 'THE ALBUM', released last year, surpassed 1.25 million cumulative sales following the announcement of 1 million preorders, making them the first girl group to be listed on the Gaon Chart Million Certification List.
Rosé, who played an important role as the main vocalist in building BLACKPINK's musical color, has excellent singing skills, conceptual digestion, and emotional voice.
