Your song, Toxic Till the End,
2
is about a toxic ex of yours.
3
Is the song about Jaden Smith?
4
Rosé, do you know why you're here today?
5
Um, to do the light detector test.
6
I'm kind of scared.
7
This is Judd, our polygraph expert.
8
Hi.
9
Are you ready to be hooked up?
10
I don't know.
11
I feel like I'm getting in trouble.
12
Oh, whoa.
13
I should have checked these videos out before I gave.
14
Oh.
15
Oh.
16
How accurate is it?
17
It'll be very accurate.
18
Really?
19
To begin, I'm going to ask you a few questions to calibrate the machine.
20
Keep your hands on the table.
21
Oh, okay.
22
Is your full name Roseanne Park?
23
Yes.
24
Are you a member of Blackpink?
25
Yes.
26
Are you about to take a polygraph exam?
27
Yes.
28
Are you nervous?
29
Yes.
30
Judd, are we ready to go?
31
Good to go.
32
We're going to start with the category of your life.
33
My life.
34
You were born in New Zealand and raised in Australia.
35
Mm-hmm.
36
So which country are you more loyal to?
37
I think most of my memories are from Korea because I've been living there for the past 12 years.
38
So I would say Korea.
39
I'm Korean by blood, so Korea.
40
Are we still doing the first test thingy?
41
Oh, no. We're in it.
42
Oh, we're in it.
43
Oh my god, okay.
44
You're fluent in both English and Korean.
45
Mm-hmm.
46
Have you ever slipped into the wrong language while singing?
47
No, but I've picked up the phone in a different language before.
48
Mid-sleep.
49
If you call me mid-sleep,
50
I'll pick up in Korean.
51
Have you ever forgotten your lyrics on stage?
52
Yes, many times.
53
Can you remember them now?
54
All the lyrics?
55
All of them.
56
No, I'm kind of bad with that.
57
Have you ever pointed your mic to the crowd because you forgot the lyrics?
58
Probably.
59
Probably yes.
60
What song was it?
61
I think it was like Tally or something.
62
Oh, no. As if it's your last.
63
That's always kind of confusing and I think the girls will agree.
64
As a kid you wanted to be an art teacher.
65
Do you regret giving up on your dreams?
66
No. Would you give up fame and fortune to become an art teacher now?
67
No. Since you love art,
68
could you draw Judd if we asked you to?
69
Judd?
70
Oh my gosh, I...
71
Ah, maybe.
72
I'm not very good actually.
73
I've been drawn in a long time.
74
I could try.
75
I think I'll...
76
It's hard to draw people because like you don't want to make them feel bad.
77
Okay, here we go.
78
Let's start with the glasses.
79
Mm-hmm.
80
Ah, I'm scared.
81
I have to do this well.
82
I don't know if I'm doing well.
83
The only thing that's accurate here is the glasses.
84
It's not the worst.
85
It's good.
86
Do we approve?
87
Chud?
88
You've said you hated taking piano lessons as a kid.
89
Considering your career, do you wish you had paid more attention?
90
Yes, for sure.
91
I kind of did a few more years of that.
92
Do you think most kids should give up on their lessons?
93
No, I don't think they should,
94
because I regret it now.
95
If I'd done it then,
96
then it would be helpful now.
97
So you don't think you're just better than everyone?
98
No, no, no. You spent the last year learning how to drive.
99
Do you think getting your license at a normal age was too basic?
100
Yes, very.
101
I may have just been lazy, but...
102
That's suspicious.
103
Oh, yeah, I was probably just lazy then.
104
Never mind.
105
Sorry.
106
Did you pass the driving test on the first try?
107
I failed once.
108
Yikes.
109
Have you ever given someone the middle finger while driving?
110
No. That's the truth.
111
Have you ever been recognized on the road by a fan?
112
No. Would you ever consider doing something like this to your car?
113
With my face on it?
114
Oh my gosh.
115
No, that looks like a nightmare.
116
I would hate that.
117
No, no. Just tell the truth.
118
Yes.
119
Moving on to your career.
120
You first joined Blackpink in 2016.
121
Was that the best moment of your life?
122
Best moment of my life?
123
Questionable.
124
I don't know if it was my best moment.
125
I was very nervous.
126
Is there an active group chat with you and the rest of Blackpink?
127
Yes.
128
Have you ever muted it?
129
No. That's the truth.
130
Who was the most active?
131
The most active I would say is Jisoo.
132
Who sends the best memes?
133
They all send good memes,
134
but I think it would be...
135
Lisa?
136
Sounds like a question.
137
Lisa or Jenny?
138
She's being truthful.
139
Were there any other names besides Blackpink that were ever considered?
140
Yes, we used to be almost called Pink Punk.
141
Was there a name you liked better?
142
I always liked Blackpink.
143
Which is the best girl band?
144
Blackpink or this band?
145
Oh my gosh, that's a hard quote.
146
That's mean.
147
These girls is fire.
148
Since I am part of Blackpink, may I say Blackpink?
149
No, not accurate.
150
Not accurate.
151
No, Blackpink is the best.
152
No, but Spice Girls, they're legendary, so yeah.
153
Who's your favorite Spice Girl?
154
Ah, posh.
155
Tell the truth.
156
Which is the best girl band,
157
Blackpink or the band from Freaky Friday?
158
Oh my gosh.
159
I love this movie.
160
But again, I want to say Blackpink.
161
Tell the truth.
162
Blackpink or this band?
163
Blackpink.
164
She's being truthful.
165
Yes.
166
But not better than the Spice Girls?
167
Not better than Spice Girls.
168
Apparently.
169
Your stage name is Rosé.
170
Do you ever get frustrated by Google searching yourself and just finding wine?
171
Oh, it kind of started off that way,
172
but lately I've tricked it and it comes out as me first.
173
I think I've beat the wine.
174
Have you ever wished you could change your stage name?
175
Mmm, sometimes yeah.
176
When people find it hard to pronounce it because it's like Rosé.
177
I have, but I like it now.
178
Do you feel like you could never order Rosé at a restaurant?
179
Yeah, I mean I actually don't like Rosé wine.
180
That's the only wine I don't like.
181
So you would never consider selling Rosé Rosé?
182
No, I would.
183
I'd probably make it so I like the taste of it.
184
Benny Blanco once tweeted, Last night I met my idols,
185
in reference to meeting you and Blackpink.
186
Is Benny Blanco one of your idols?
187
Idols?
188
Yes.
189
That's a lie.
190
But idol is a big word.
191
He's a really nice guy.
192
I love him and he's very talented.
193
Love you, Benny.
194
That's truthful.
195
No. You also collaborated with his fiance,
196
Selena Gomez, on the song Ice Cream.
197
Mm-hmm.
198
Did you help set them up?
199
Oh, no. Have you ever been a matchmaker for any of your celebrity friends?
200
For any celebrity friends?
201
No, I don't remember.
202
I don't think I have.
203
Tell the truth.
204
Yeah.
205
Has anyone ever set you up?
206
Yes.
207
How'd it go?
208
Great.
209
I think.
210
Yeah, good.
211
I'm sweating.
212
Fans say you sing in cursive.
213
What do you think singing in cursive means?
214
I don't know.
215
I don't try to sing cursive.
216
I just try to sing well.
217
Like, I just want to be good.
218
Like, I don't want people to like my singing.
219
So I'm just trying my best.
220
And I think maybe the trying the best part is why it sounds cursive.
221
Your album, Rosie, is about the terrible 20s.
222
Would you say you are very passionate about the 1920s?
223
Uh, no. Do you think you would have been happier living in the 1920s?
224
No. Do you think people are generally happier when they reach their 30s?
225
I think...
226
I've heard that it is.
227
And I think the closer I get to it,
228
I'm starting to enjoy life a little more.
229
So I would say yes.
230
Does it make you nervous that your 30s might just be a continuation of your terrible 20s?
231
Oh my God, yeah, that would be terrible.
232
but I hope not and I don't think it would.
233
I mean, unless I decide to just live young and dumb,
234
which could be an option.
235
But hopefully I enjoy it more.
236
So you don't have an old soul?
237
I think I have an old soul.
238
Tell the truth.
239
The song, Number One Girl,
240
was inspired by toxic comments you read on social media.
241
Do you think social media is always a bad thing?
242
No. Is that because you appreciate all the fan cams that are made of you?
243
Uh, yeah.
244
It's nice to have monitoring videos online.
245
Tell them the truth.
246
Do you ever look at fan accounts dedicated to you?
247
Yeah, of course.
248
What's your favorite account?
249
Account?
250
I have a few accounts and it's always the ones that like genuinely are supportive of me as a person.
251
Do you have a favorite fan edit of yourself?
252
Yeah, I do.
253
What is it?
254
I feel so narcissistic saying this one.
255
I do watch back on my Coachella video the first one.
256
I'm like, wow, they filmed me.
257
They made me look so good.
258
So that's a good video.
259
Your single, APT, was produced with Bruno Mars.
260
You were a fan of Bruno Mars before working with him.
261
Are you still a fan?
262
Yes, I will always be a fan.
263
If you're such a big fan, what's his best song?
264
Best song?
265
Well, my favorite song.
266
I have a few favorites.
267
Too Good to Say Goodbye.
268
I like Chunky lately.
269
Locked Out of Heaven is a really fun one to dance to.
270
You pitched him two other songs.
271
What were they about?
272
I pitched, which is really random.
273
I don't know if this makes any sense,
274
but I pitched Number One Girl and 3AM.
275
Those were my favorite ones at the time,
276
so I just put them in but my main one was APT.
277
APT was the one I was bitching.
278
On October 16th, 2024, Bruno Mars left viral comments on your Instagram posts of the two of you.
279
Is it true you tried to kiss him?
280
No. Not at all.
281
That's the truth.
282
So are you calling him a liar?
283
Yes, he's a liar.
284
She's telling the truth.
285
Bruno Mars is a liar.
286
Bruno Mars is a lie.
287
My fanfic?
288
I don't know.
289
I think he may have read his fanfics before.
290
He nailed it.
291
Do you ever read fanfic about yourself?
292
No, I haven't even into that world before.
293
It's interesting.
294
What is a fanfic?
295
Like, it could be like social media posts maybe.
296
Or stories that people make up.
297
Make up.
298
Yeah, okay.
299
So if that's considered fanfic, then yes.
300
Your song, Toxic Till The End,
301
is about a toxic ex of yours.
302
Yes, I was inspired a few.
303
Is the song about Jaden Smith?
304
No, it's not about Jaden Smith.
305
He's a good friend, though.
306
Hi, Jaden.
307
Miss you lots.
308
Tell the truth.
309
Have you ever dated Jaden Smith?
310
No. Just tell the truth.
311
You're famous for your blonde hair.
312
Have you ever considered changing it to a different color?
313
I've considered, but it always came to a no. Not yet.
314
Have you ever forgotten to bleach your roots?
315
Forgotten?
316
Oh yeah, I've forgotten and I hated it so now I try not to forget.
317
Do you think anyone could pull off being blonde?
318
Anyone?
319
No, not anyone.
320
I think you're selected to look at being a blonde or a brunette.
321
What about him?
322
Pete Davidson?
323
Oh, can I be honest here?
324
I mean I have to actually.
325
No, I'm sorry.
326
It looks better in a different color.
327
Wicked was one of the biggest films of 2024.
328
Did you see it?
329
Not yet.
330
I've been dying to watch it.
331
I need some time.
332
Do you think you would have been a better Glinda than this person?
333
Oh, not at all.
334
Never.
335
Well, I haven't watched it.
336
She looks great.
337
And I'm sure she's incredible in it.
338
Do you think you would have been a better Elphaba than this person?
339
Oh, no, not at all.
340
Never.
341
What?
342
I could never.
343
Is that because you don't like the color green?
344
No. I think she looks so good.
345
How do you pull off that color?
346
Wow.
347
Green?
348
Green's not bad.
349
Have you ever considered starring in a musical?
350
Starring in a musical?
351
I've considered before.
352
But I'd have to be good.
353
What about a revival of a musical like High School Musical?
354
High School Musical?
355
Well, I'm blonde.
356
I'm gonna have to be Sharpay.
357
Fabulous.
358
I could do it.
359
I know all the lyrics to it.
360
Bigger and better than that.
361
Need a little fabulous to help me get along.
362
Need a little fabulous, is that so wrong?
363
Oh, sorry.
364
I've lost my voice.
365
I've been having too much fun.
366
You mentioned you were inspired by this woman.
367
Yes!
368
This is one of the movies that really made me want to be a singer.
369
Would you want to play Satine in a remake of Moulin Rouge?
370
My gosh.
371
That would be too good to be true.
372
I would absolutely love to do that.
373
So you think you're a better singer than Nicole Kidman?
374
No. No. She's telling the truth.
375
No, she was so good, yeah.
376
Would you ever okay a biopic about your life?
377
What is that?
378
A film about you.
379
About me?
380
Would I ever like it?
381
If I have done great things, then maybe.
382
Who would you want to play you?
383
Oh, that's such a good question.
384
Somebody Asian with blonde hair that speaks Korean and English and can pull off an Australian accent.
385
Final question.
386
At any point did you lie during this interview and we didn't catch you?
387
No, I don't think I lied.
388
I'm not a very good liar.
389
You could like towel on my face.
390
So I probably don't even need this.
391
She's being truthful.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
