Road to Stardom
At the age of 15, on her father's suggestion, Rosé auditioned for the South Korean entertainment company YG Entertainment in Sydney in 2012.

Solo Career
Rosé made her solo debut on March 12, 2021, with the single album "R". The album's lead single, "On the Ground," was a commercial success, topping the Billboard Global 200 chart and setting a record for the most-viewed YouTube music video by a solo K-pop artist in 24 hours. This achievement made her the first artist to top a Billboard Global chart as both a soloist and part of a group. The album "R" sold 448,089 copies in its first week, a record for a Korean female soloist at the time. In December 2023, it was confirmed that while Rosé renewed her contract with YG Entertainment for group activities, she did not for her individual activities. In June 2024, she signed a management contract with THEBLACKLABEL for her solo work. She also signed a solo deal with Atlantic Records. Later that year, she released her debut studio album, "Rosie," which featured the hit single "Apt." in collaboration with Bruno Mars.
