BLACKPINK’s Rosé Stars in RIMOWA’s ‘Never Still’ Campaign Video

Rosé has already established herself as a global superstar as a member of BLACKPINK and as a solo artist. So it’s no surprise that the “Gone” singer was chosen to be one of RIMOWA’s new global ambassadors. In a new campaign video for the brand, Roseanne Park reflects on what home means to her and it’s not what most people expect.

BLACKPINK Singer Rosé Reflects On What Home Means In New RIMOWA Campaign Video

On September 8, the renowned vocalist and fashion icon of BLACKPINK, Rosé, was introduced as the latest global ambassador for the prestigious luxury travel luggage brand, RIMOWA. This collaboration represents a seamless blend of style, opulence, and the spirit of exploration, echoing the unique individuality and worldwide influence embodied by both Rosé and the brand.

Following the initial buzz generated by this revelation, a carefully curated set of promotional visuals has been unveiled, culminating in a captivating campaign video that provides an intimate glimpse into Rosé’s interpretation of the concept of “Home.” This concept, much like her career, is fluid and ever-evolving.

Within the artistic framework of RIMOWA’s “Never Still” campaign, this video serves as a bridge between the campaign’s artistic essence and Rosé’s personal journey. She, as a multifaceted artist, constantly pushes the boundaries of artistry and self-expression.

As Rosé beautifully articulates in the campaign, home transcends mere physical space; it embodies a feeling, a connection, a collection of experiences, and a sense of familiarity that is forged through the eyes of a wanderer who carries fragments of her journeys within her. This collaboration not only showcases Rosé’s global appeal but also celebrates the essence of meaningful travel and the stories we accumulate along the way.

RIMOWA’s latest campaign also features athlete Lewis Hamilton and soccer prodigy Kylian Mbappé. All three celebrities received their own campaign video as part of the brand’s promotional releases.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Confesses Surprising Lazy Phone Habit

Jisoo of BLACKPINK openly admitted that she’s not one to frequently check her text messages. The “Flower” singer shared her lazy habit with fellow member Rosé. However, Jisoo had an interesting reason why she doesn’t give text messages much attention.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Admits Being Lazy About Checking Text Messages

In a recent episode of “MBTI Balance Game” on Jisoo’s YouTube channel “Happy Jisoo 103%,” both Jisoo and Rosé shared their MBTI personality types. It was confirmed that Jisoo is ISTP while Rosé is ENFP.

As part of their engaging conversation, they decided to read aloud the MBTI descriptions of each other’s personalities. Not surprisingly, it gave BLINKS an intriguing glimpse into their character traits. Rosé kicked off the insightful exchange, delving into the characteristics associated with Jisoo’s ISTP personality type.

At one point, Rosé read out loud that ISTP personalities “leave people on read and do not respond when they run out of things to say.” The “Gone” singer refuted the statement. “No, Jisoo is responsive to me; I don’t think this is you,” she said.

Interestingly, Jisoo disagreed with her fellow BLACKPINK member. “But I have lots of messages I haven’t read,” she said. This prompted Rosé to admit, “That’s the same with me too. Is that the trait of P?”

Although it’s not encouraged to ignore text messages, BLINKs loved the rapport between the BLACKPINK members. It’s clear that Jisoo and Rosé enjoy talking to each other and laughing about their similarities. With that in mind, we’re hoping that the girls continue to share interesting details about their personalities in the future.

In the meantime, BLACKPINK is gearing up for a new venture. On May 18, the group unveiled their new single “The Girls”. The song will be featured on the soundtrack of their mobile game, “BLACKPINK: The Game” which was released on August 23, 2023.

Rosé Discusses BLACKPINK Headlining Coachella 2023 and Performing Solo

Rosé is speaking out about BLACKPINK’s latest milestone as the headliners for COACHELLA 2023. The group’s main vocalist also discussed what she learned after releasing her solo album ‘R’.

Rosé Reveals Initial Reaction To BLACKPINK Being Chosen As COACHELLA 2023 Headliners

Roseanne Park recently collaborated with GQ Korea in a stunning pictorial. In the accompanying interview, the BLACKPINK member shared her initial reaction to the group being chosen to headline COACHELLA 2023.

“It really feels like a dream. When I first heard the news, I was speechless. I was so shocked. To us, it was a movie-like moment,” Rosé said.

She added that “this has been a longtime dream. I couldn’t even dare imagine being headliner. I was just happy to participate in Coachella and stand on stage.”

BLACKPINK recently headlined the main stage on COACHELLA 2023 for two weekends. The members each got to perform a solo stage and Park Chaeyoung performed a song from her solo album ‘R’.

Rosé Shares Personal Growth As A Solo Artist

Rosé also admitted that she learned a lot from working on a solo album and performing without Jisoo, Jennie, and Lisa.

“To be honest, I myself didn’t know in the past. But now I definitely know. Would it be because I’m still learning?” she asked.

She further explained, “There’s definitely an image and complete version I have to show as BLACKPINK. Images that are more powerful and energetic. But when I’m solo, it’s a bit different. It’s mixed with a bit of boredom and there’s overall a lot of soft images.”

In the past, I’d say ‘Rosé is Rosé,’ but not anymore. I’m gradually learning that I have to absorb and express a variety of images. It’s fun,” she concluded.

BLACKPINK is currently on the road for the BORN PINK World Tour. The group recently confirmed encore shows in selected cities in North America. The new dates will be in August this year.
