Rosé talks about her music being labeled as K-Pop in a recent interview:
“Evidently there is a part of me that is proud of being in this category called ‘K-Pop’, but I also sincerely hope that this label ‘K-pop’ will not become a factor of division for music. ‘K-Pop’ is a very powerful word and it is good in that sense, but I hope it will not turn into a discriminating factor (for music).”
