Rosé, a member of the globally acclaimed K-pop group BLACKPINK, has recently drawn attention for her candid confession about her past dating experiences.

On the 28th, Rosé appeared on the popular US podcast “Call Her Daddy,” where she spoke openly about why she has always kept her relationships out of the public eye and shared her feelings during those times.

Host Alex Cooper referenced the emotional undertones in Rosé’s first studio album “rosie,” asking if the main reason for such secrecy was to protect her partner. In response, Rosé explained, “The hardest thing for me is to see someone I love being attacked.” She elaborated that while she has chosen a career where public scrutiny is inevitable, it is especially difficult when the effects extend to those close to her.

She further stated, “If I ever reached a point where I truly believed the media could protect me, I might consider making a relationship public, but I just don’t feel it’s safe yet.”

The conversation delved further into how her partners felt about the secrecy. When Alex Cooper asked whether her significant others might have felt like they were being hidden, Rosé recalled, “There was actually someone I dated who was visibly anxious for that reason.” She shared that this person felt they “couldn’t go anywhere” and was constantly cautious.

Rosé also noted that, in contrast, some people she dated later on were more relaxed and wanted to act more freely, adding that every relationship came with its own dynamics. She, in particular, revealed how she went to great lengths to avoid paparazzi. “At one point, I was so anxious I never wanted to get caught,” she said. “I bought a short curly wig, studied elderly women’s clothing and how they walked, and copied them exactly.”

She recounted how she would visit her partner’s house disguised as an old lady, even having a special space at home just for her elderly costumes. This covert lifestyle reportedly continued for about six months.

When asked about her current relationship status, Rosé took a cautious stance. She said, “I’m still searching for love,” but admitted that the barrage of articles and comments that usually follow such a question immediately comes to mind.

Rosé added, “Sometimes I just want to answer with a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ but I start to worry that one word could completely define who I am.” She became visibly emotional during this part of the interview, emphasizing, “Just because I’m from a K-pop group doesn’t mean I’m a different kind of human.”
