Blackpink member Rose to release solo debut album on 12 March

Singer-songwriter Rose, a member of the popular South Korean girl group Blackpink, is set to release her solo debut project on 12 March. The 24-year-old singer, whose real name is Roseanne Park, shared two posters with the date and hashtags #TEASERPOSTER #20210312 #RELEASE on Instagram on Monday. The title is yet to be revealed but one of the stills show Rose in a flowing, red dress walking amid smoke, with words – “No Way Out” and “You Are Now…” visible through the haze. The New Zealand-born Korean singer gave a sneak preview of her individual stint during January’s livestream concert, The Show, during which she performed the song Gone. Other Blackpink members have also tried their hand at stand-alone projects in music and on television. While Jennie made her solo debut with the single Solo in 2018, Lisa currently serves as a mentor on the dance reality series Youth With You Season 2, streaming on Chinese streamer iQIYI. Meanwhile, Jisoo is set to make her debut as a lead in the upcoming JTBC drama Snowdrop alongside Something in the Rain star Jung Hae-in. As Blackpink, the quartet released their debut album, simply titled The Album, last year. The group was formed by YG Entertainment in 2016.
