Recently, BLACKPINK Rosé made her solo debut with her album R. During her promotional performances, we’ve come to know and love her backup dancers due to their great relationship with Rosé. We wish the promotions would never have to come to an end.
Here are 5+ times that Rosé’s backup dancers absolutely stole not only the show but our hearts as well:
1. When Rosé’s backup dancers literally got their own HD fancams!
2. When they let us know they’re not only dancers but vocalists as well
3. Whenever Rosé made them laugh
4. When that one couldn’t help but fanboy when Rosé smiled at him
5. They got those idol visuals too
Two of Rosé’s backup dancers are actually famous in Korea! The Kwon twins, Kwon Young Deuk and Young Don have been part of the YG Entertainment dance crew HITECH for over a decade. The brothers have worked with tons of idols throughout their careers. They are extremely multitalented as they have also modeled, acted, and choreographed!
We can’t wait to see what they do next!

What Does BLACKPINK Rosé Eat Before a Performance And Tips To Not Gain Weight?
BLACKPINK's Rosé Dishes on Her Must-Have Meals and Why She Does Not Gain Weight
On the Mar. 14 airing of SBS's "My Little Old Boy," BLACKPINK's Rosé made an appearance as a special MC. During the episode, Rosé was asked if she had any special ritual she does before getting on stage.
Rosé then revealed, "Rice. I make sure to eat a Korean meal with rice before I go on stage. This is a must. If I do not eat rice, I can't finish the performance. The arm loses strength, and it becomes like seaweed. I tried to eat just bread, but it doesn't work the same."
As the episode continued, cast members Lee Sang Min and Oh Min Seok were seen eating tteokbokki. There, Rosé revealed, "I also like tteobokki! My favorite brand is yeoptteok."
She further revealed that Rosé always eats tteokbokki when she has schedules and that "I just eat it deliciously without worrying about gaining weight."
However, the idol revealed that she is not good at eating spicy food. So that she is able to eat the tteokbokki, she separates the rice cakes and the sauce into separate cups.
Hearing about Rosé's eating habits appeared to bewilder the MCs, who asked Rosé how she was able to eat so well but not gain weight. They asked her, "Are you exercising a lot? Why are you not gaining weight? There might be people who are watching right now that are getting annoyed," Shin Dong Yeop jokes. "Do you digest well? Do you go to the bathroom often?"
His comments drew laughter from the cast, including Rosé. Though she did not explicitly state why she does not gain weight, it appears the idol simply has a fast metabolism. She is also practicing for more than 12 hours during the promotional period, meaning she definitely gets her daily sweat it. Some people are just born with naturally slim bodies, and it appears Rosé is one of those people.

Shin Dong Yeop agreed with Hyeri, saying that when he worked with Hyeri on "Amazing Saturday," he was able to feel good vibes while around the idol-actress. Rosé agreed with his statements, saying, "Many people think Hyeri is just a funny unnie, but she is very smart."

BLACKPINK Rosé 'On The Ground' Ranks #1 On iTunes Song Chart In 51 Countries Around The World
Rosé's solo single album title track 'On The Ground' topped the iTunes Song Chart in 51 countries, including the United States, as of March 13. Not only the U.S., but also Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and Chile have been taken over by Rosé, giving a glimpse to her strong presence in the mainstream pop market.
In addition, the song also dominated the iTunes World Wide Chart by topping several Asian countries including Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam as well as Spain, France, Greece, Portugal, and Turkey.
Although all the lyrics of the song are in English, it also has a great echo on the domestic music charts. As soon as 'On The Ground' was released at 2 PM KST on March 12, it went straight to No. 1 on Bugs and Genie. In addition, it topped Melon in half a day.
Less than a day after the music video for 'On The Ground' was released on YouTube, it has already garnered more than 35 million views, gaining explosive popularity. It is certain to be the most watched video in 24 hours on YouTube by a solo K-Pop artist.
Thanks to this popularity, YG Entertainment released a making film of 'On The Ground' music video. The music video is attracting global fans with its colorful and marvelous visual beauty, combined with Rosé's rich emotional performance. The making film also caught the eye of viewers with its cinematic atmosphere and Rosé's sincerity.
In particular, BLACKPINK member Jisoo visited the filming site to cheer for her. Jisoo constantly encouraged Rosé and gave fans a glimpse of their strong loyalty and extraordinary affection. Actress Hyeri, known as Rosé's best friend, also gave her a snack truck. Rosé, who had strong support from her acquaintances, focused on filming without showing signs of exhaustion and produced high-quality results.
Rosé's influence had been predicted to some extent, though. The physical album of her first single album '-R-', which will be officially released on March 16, has already surpassed 400,000 pre-orders, breaking the record for a K-Pop female solo artist.
