From the top of the Empire State Building The 100th,

New York I mean, is it Rosé or Rosie?

What is your childhood nickname?

What should we call you, girlfriend?

Well, my childhood nickname is Rosie, but I mean, you can still call me, I'm still Rosé.

Yeah!

That girl hasn't disappeared or less.

We can't call you Roro?

Roro.

Does that work?

Yeah, whatever you want to.

Let's give it up for Rosé in the building, y'all!

Yeah!

We're so happy you're hanging out with us.

We know you have so much going on.

We just want to reset.

How are you doing?

How are you feeling today?

I am a little like jumpy because it's like all happening now.

Yeah.

And, but honestly, like I'm really grateful at the end of the day because it's, yeah, I have to enjoy it because, you know, up until the next album, I'm not going to be.

It's real.

It feels real.

And yeah, I mean, as Crystal is, you know, wondering, we're all wondering i mean it can be quite overwhelming at times

but the same uh you know flip side of

that token is like you know how proud are you of yourself

that you've been able to make it to this place in your your career

and in your you know the fulfillment of your heart fam

i'm super proud of myself i'm actually i'm actually really proud

of myself i'm like thank you rosie for actually pushing through all of

that it was a lot it was a lot of like

just like confused times like um i was a lot like

i felt lost for like a little like a minute

but it was only

because i uh i think i had some like i had

an exact purpose like i wanted i wanted you know this album

so badly in the shape and form that it is right now

and so that's why there's a lot of trials and tribulations

but i'm really proud of myself no us blinks are

so proud of everything because i became a fan

when your netflix documentary came out with the group

and then seeing from you now doing your your solo thing

that you've been doing for a few years i mean you you came out hard

and now that the album is here and we're seeing these features

and huge names yeah i mean from there to now just

the growth what are you most proud of ah um i'm most proud

that this album i've always wanted it to be a bit of me

and I feel like I in my opinion I'm happy with yeah with it um

and I feel like that's because it feels like a bit of a piece of me

and I'm most proud about you've accomplished

that you've yeah you've been able to put your heart

and soul into um all things

that you know the fans are are loving your journey whether it's your solo stuff

or it's it's with the girls um these sounds are they the sounds

that you heard in your head

and they came together on this this new album here like yeah i feel like

that vibe i knew

that was gonna be a thing i think sounds like sound was more like i was ready to explore

and new things and be inspired there but i think uh

when it comes to like like lyrics

and um the like you know the content of like what i would be talking about like

that is something that i envisioned

and i like i worked really hard how how big

that smile is you're excited and nervous all at the same time we're

so excited to see this new side of you i mean you're talking about how you've never been

so vulnerable and opened up about so many things

that you haven't before

and now this is your time to do it what were some of those themes

that you found were a little harder to talk

and be open about but you're really proud that you ended up pushing forward.

But to be honest, everything that's in the album is like, it's not stuff that's hard to talk about.

It's things that I want to talk about and that I always do talk about with my friends and family.

That's the Rosie that my friends and family knows.

And because it's like a safe space and it's like the most, utmost like vulnerable and open,

anonymous conversations that have flipped into music.

And I feel like the past year has been the most, like, you know, a lot of things shifted and changed and I was the most vulnerable.

So I think it was like perfect.

Like I've contained the last year of my thoughts in the album and it's like, they're all like experiences from the past,

like four or five years, I would say four or five years.

And, you know, I still talk about certain things

about the past and that's what the fans are

so excited for is you being you and you being willing to go there

and being brave enough you know not only

that to hop out on stage and to perform at

and then uh not only are the lyrics you know powerful

and so meaningful but the sounds are the sounds

that you heard uh you're creating the bops

that we just want to dance to as well you're giving us the drinking games

and you know what i'm saying can we can we navigate towards this this epic collaboration with a label mate now.

Yeah.

Bruno Mars.

Bruno Mars, fam.

Crazy.

How does that happen when you're pitching these names, these huge artists, and then someone like Bruno Mars says yes.

It was running through your mind.

I actually never thought of pitching it to people.

It was like, that was kind of like Bruno Mars, I became a, I found out that I was a huge fan of him

100

when he came to Seoul to perform last year, a year ago.

101

A friend was like, let's go watch it.

102

And I was like, okay.

103

Because I didn't have anything to do that day.

104

And I went, I was like, I couldn't, I couldn't like process how good he was.

105

And I was like, I am a fan.

106

I'm like a huge fan.

107

And I had been listening to his like songs, cause I just got my driver's license.

108

I had been listening to like his songs.

109

Congrats.

110

Thank you.

111

Yeah, that part.

112

year and then you know label meetings and then in the passing I hear

113

that Bruno's signed to the label

114

and I was like oh my god I'm actually the best fan

115

and I told him like all the stories you shot your shot yeah you shot your shot you you got

116

that call and you made that thing happen

117

and you manifested it well like crazy

118

and then he had asked for me to pitch three songs and oh he asked you Wow.

119

No, because we, because of course I asked, I was like, oh, do you think I said to the label?

120

I was like, do you think he would want to do a collaboration?

121

And I say it like thinking like 99% sure that's not going to ever, ever happen.

122

But I'm just like, whatever.

123

We'll see.

124

We'll shoot the shot.

125

And then he's like, send three songs.

126

So I'm like, this is not going to happen.

127

But the fact that he's even going to listen to three songs, I'm like, that's huge.

128

Yeah.

129

And then, yeah, and then he, he like, I met him by that time.

130

And he was like, what does APT mean?

131

And I was like, it's a Korean drinking game.

132

And he was like, and I was like, I was like, really?

133

Oh my God.

134

I remember we like, we freaked out.

135

I was like, what is happening?

136

And then the rest is history.

137

That was the one.

138

That was the one.

139

And it was a song you wanted him to be on.

140

That's kind of crazy, too.

141

Crazy.

142

How that worked out.

143

It is here.

144

Congratulations.

145

How cool is it to see not only this song now, but the fact that this song is based off of a drinking game that is close to who you are, your culture, your fans.

146

And to see that be something that the world now gets to enjoy and wrap their arms around.

147

It's a part of who you are and your culture.

148

It's now something that everyone gets a feeling for.

149

Gets me a little giddy inside, because like it's actually like when I first started drinking because I was of age.

150

Like I was the day I turned 20.

151

Like that's when like I started drinking with friends and it's actually a game that I like everyone actually plays.

152

So I feel like for Korean people, they probably, it feels like I've made a song out of like Duck, Duck, Goose or something.

153

It's like, what?

154

For them it's like, what is happening?

155

But I, it's so much fun.

156

Oh my God.

157

I love shocking them, being like, I have a song called A Patsun.

158

They're like, what?

159

They're like, what?

160

And I'm like, right?

161

I love that reaction.

162

With Bruno Mars too, right?

163

They're kind of like, what?

164

And I'm like, oh, I love that reaction.

165

I did, I did it.

166

You did it for the people.

167

Nothing like going back to your roots and giving love to what's making you you.

168

That's awesome.

169

And now you're seeing that your fans are just so excited about your work here.

170

Have you thought about what you want to do on stage?

171

To be honest, because I haven't had 12 songs in my life before, I only had two, right?

172

I had to kind of live it out a little bit.

173

But then a few weeks back, I did a little acoustic session just to start the vibe.

174

And I sang all my songs acoustic.

175

And I was like, I'm obsessed.

176

And it got me so excited to perform it.

177

And I was like, make it full Kia.

178

I was like, I'm really excited to perform it now

179

so like i mean at the right time though um i think it has to feel right

180

but yeah i have thought about it yeah

181

because all the fans they're just ready for everything at one time

182

so i must feel like a lot of pressure

183

but we do see artists that are coming with the album

184

and then the next day they're out performing all of it

185

what was your pinch me moment where you really were like you know what i'm super blessed right now

186

and wow this is happening for me how special is this it's an interesting question

187

because i think it wasn't yes i've i'm

188

so grateful to be invited to like

189

so many great events sometimes i'm like oh my god it's crazy

190

but lately like recently i think it was i've definitely like had a pinch me moment

191

when i was in like the studio writing songs

192

that i i felt like was just so like fulfilling

193

and i think just the i felt privileged to be able

194

to i was like wow I get to be in the studio with amazing talented people to write music

195

that that that heals me as a person yeah

196

so I enjoyed every minute of it being in the studio

197

and that's the only reason why I did it was

198

because I remember it was like a time where I had

199

to choose like my next like how am I gonna live my next year

200

and I was trying to figure it out

201

and you know the day I was like in the studio

202

I remember it was like a day after an event and

203

that day I was like this is what I need to be doing is the only thing

204

that makes me feel like a normal person i feel alive i felt alive

205

and i was like this is where i'm going to place myself

206

and the fact that i was able to do

207

that it was like a bumpy road to get there

208

because i had to figure it all out i was like flying out here all the time

209

but the fact that you know i pushed through and

210

that i was able to do that

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.
