“I didn’t even just play around, I brought 3 friends and danced in front of my parents” – he said.

After that time, Rosé’s parents fell in love and even suggested that their daughter audition in Sydney for YG Entertainment.

As a result, Rosé finished first among 700 contestants, officially signed a contract with YG Entertainment and trained for 4 years before debuting as a member of BlackPink in August 2016.
