The songstress, who was born in New Zealand and raised in Melbourne, opened up about her decision to pursue a career as a K-pop star when she was still in high school.

‘I decided to drop out of school and all my teachers and friends were like: ‘What?! Why are you leaving!?’ she explained.

‘Nobody knew what K-pop was, so nobody understood where I was going. It was terrifying. I was quite a good student; I never thought I would drop out of school.’

While she enjoys being one of the world’s biggest pop stars, Rosé admitted that she’d like to be more outspoken in the future. 

‘This is something I’ve been thinking about in the past week or so,’ she said cryptically.

‘I would really like to work on having a voice for myself and putting my own opinions out there,’ she continued.
