BLACKPINK's Rosé recently revealed her deep admiration for her junior group, NewJeans, while discussing her solo comeback and more.

In an interview with i-D magazine on November 18 (local time), Rosé shared stories about her career and opened up about her first full-length album, 'Rosie.'

Talking about her album, Rosé said, "This is my first chance to show people the 'real Rosie,' but I worried about whether I would mess it up." She added, "Making this album was a healing journey for me. It was the only time I felt mentally stable."

Rosé also shared her emotional struggles, saying, "I spent many nights crying myself to sleep, moving between hotels and Airbnbs. I stayed up late checking people's reactions online, feeling overly conscious of myself." She emphasized, "I wanted to show everyone that I’m just like them, someone who feels the same emotions."

The interview also touched on the global success of her song 'Apartment,' a collaboration with pop icon Bruno Mars. Rosé admitted, "I never expected the song to be loved so quickly. I hoped people would dance and enjoy it, but I was genuinely surprised by how many people reacted to it right after its release."

When asked about NewJeans and their ongoing conflict with HYBE, Rosé kept her response short but heartfelt, saying, "I want to focus on positive things. I really love those girls."

She also reflected on the difference between working with BLACKPINK and creating her solo album. Rosé said, "BLACKPINK is like the realization of my dream, while 'Rosie' is about showing who I am now and the new dreams I’m chasing."

Fans are loving this honest and emotional side of Rosé as she continues to make waves in both her group and solo projects.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
