BLACKPINK’s Rose recently shared insights about her past relationships on the podcast “Call Her Daddy.” The singer, known for her collaboration with Bruno Mars on the song “APT,” discussed her efforts to maintain her privacy while dating. Notably, her effort to disguise herself to evade paparazzi has drawn attention.
In the podcast, Rose recounted how she would dress as an older woman to meet her ex-boyfriend. To pull off this disguise, she studied the clothing styles of elderly women, purchasing similar outfits to avoid detection. Rose described her approach, stating, “I got a wig. A black curly wig, like a short one. And then I studied how older people, like elderly women, would dress on the street.”
Rose’s disguises were typically used when visiting her ex-boyfriend’s house, where they preferred to spend time together rather than going out. Interestingly, her boyfriend also dressed up for their meetings, donning a grandfather-like appearance, although he did not go to the same lengths as Rose in studying fashion.
During the discussion, Rose also touched on her current relationship status. She emphasized her desire for privacy in her personal life to protect those she loves. She expressed a mistrust of media interactions, explaining her reluctance to share details about any ongoing relationships. Rose stated, “I feel if I say no, it’s such a lie, you can tell. I am looking for love… it hurts more when people close to me get attacked.”
In a related note, Rose and Bruno Mars have been in the spotlight not just for their music but also for not winning any Grammy Awards for “APT,” despite nominations in three categories. This outcome has ignited conversations on social media, with fans expressing disappointment and questioning the Grammys’ recognition of K-pop artists. Comments included sentiments like “APT winning nothing… is just more proof that the Grammys hate Koreans” and reflections on the song’s significant global impact.
Rose’s experiences and the subsequent Grammy discourse illustrate the challenges and scrutiny faced by K-pop stars in the public eye. The singer’s commitment to privacy while navigating fame raises pertinent questions about the balance between personal life and public persona.
