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).”
literally what rosé was talking about. they keep creating these separate categories that end up boxing asian artists into specific lanes instead of allowing them to compete on equal footing. this just creates more room for discrimination while pretending it's inclusion
