On the December 11th episode of You Quiz on the Block, Rosé opened up about BLACKPINK's possible reunion in 2025 and how their solo activities are helping the group grow stronger.

During the episode, MC Yoo Jae Suk brought up the fact that the BLACKPINK members have been focusing on their solo projects lately and asked Rosé, "Do you miss the other members?"

Rosé reminisced about the release of BLACKPINK’s hit song "APT." and shared, "The day the song came out, I was so nervous when I woke up. I started getting messages from friends. I saw that Lisa had reached out, so I ended up video calling her for over an hour."

She continued, "While eating ramen, I told her, 'I’ve been getting a lot of messages, but I’m only talking to you. Once we finish this call, I have to start working.'"

Rosé also mentioned how she kept in touch with the other members, saying, "I could’ve called Jisoo, but instead, I texted her for an hour. When APT. was released, Jennie also sent me videos. We’re all working hard in different places, so I really miss them." She highlighted the strong bond and friendship the members share.

Later in the interview, Rosé hinted at BLACKPINK’s reunion in 2025, saying, "I think the synergy between us will grow even more. Everyone in music needs inspiration to grow, and I think this solo time for each of us is really important for BLACKPINK’s development." Fans are already looking forward to what’s next for the global supergroup!
