Yeah, that girl hasn't disappeared I can't call you Roro Work yeah, whatever you want to We're so happy you're hanging out with us we know you have so much going on we just want to reset How are you doing?

How are you feeling today?

I am I'm a little like Jumpy because it's like all happening now.

Yeah, and but honestly like I'm really grateful at the end of the day because yeah, I have to enjoy it because you know Until the next album It's it's real.

It feels real.

And yeah, I mean as crystal is, you know wondering we're all wondering I mean it can be quite overwhelming at times, but the same, you know flip side of that token is like, you know How proud are you of yourself that you've been able to make it to this place in your your career and in your you know?

The fulfillment of your heart fam.

I'm super proud of my I'm actually I'm actually really proud of myself.

I'm like, thank you Rosie for actually pushing through all of that it was a lot of like just like confused times like I was a lot like I felt lost for like a little like a minute but it was only because I think I'd had some like I had an exact purpose like I wanted I wanted You know this album so badly in the shape and form that it is right now And so that's why there's a lot of trials and tribulations, but I'm really proud of myself Links are so proud of everything because I became a fan when your Netflix documentary came out with the group and then seeing from You now doing your your solo thing that you've been doing for a few years.

I mean you you came out Hard and now that the album is here and we're seeing these features and huge names I mean from there to now just the growth.

What are you most proud of?

Um I'm most proud that this album.

I've always wanted it to be a bit of me and I feel like I In my opinion, I'm happy with yeah And I feel like that's because it feels like a bit of a piece of me You've accomplished that you've yeah, you've been able to put your heart and soul into All things that you know, the fans are are loving your journey whether it's your solo stuff or it's it's with the girls These sounds are they the sounds that you heard in your head and they came together on this this new album here?

Like yeah, I feel like that vibe.

I knew that was gonna be a thing I think sounds like sound was more like I was ready to explore new things and be inspired there, but I think when it comes to like like lyrics and Like, you know the content of like what I would be talking about like that is something that I envisioned and I like How big that smile is?

New side of you I mean you're talking about how you've never been so vulnerable and opened up about so many things you haven't before and now this is Your time to do it or some of those themes that you found were a little harder to talk and be open about but you're Really proud that you ended up pushing forward But to be like to be honest everything that's in the album is like It's not stuff that's hard to talk about It's things that I want to talk about and that I always do talk about with my friends and family that's the Rosie that my friends and family knows and Because it's like a safe space.

Mm-hmm, and it's like the most utmost like vulnerable and open Anonymous conversations that have flipped into music and I feel like the past year has been the most Like, you know a lot of things shifted and changed and I was the most vulnerable So I think it was like perfect like I've contained the last year of my thoughts in the album and it's like they're all like Experiences from the past like four or five years.

I would say four or five years and you know, I still talk about certain things about the past and That's what the fans are so excited for is you being you and you being willing to go there and being brave enough you know, not only that to hop out on stage and to perform it and then Not only are the lyrics, you know powerful and so meaningful But the sounds of the sounds that you heard you're creating the bops that we just want to dance to as well You're giving us the drinking games and you know, I'm saying Towards this epic collaboration with a label mate now Fam Crazy How did that happen You're pitching these names these huge artists and then someone like Bruno Mars says yes, it was running through your mind I actually never thought of like pitching it to like people it was like it that was kind of like, you know Bruno Mars I became a like I found out that I was a huge fan of him when he came to Seoul to perform Last year.

Okay a year ago A friend was like, let's go watch it and I was like, okay Yeah, cuz I didn't have anything to do that day and I went I was like I could I couldn't I couldn't like process how Good.

He was and I was like, oh, I'm I am a fan I'm like a huge fan and I had been listening to his like Songs like cuz I just got my driver's license.

I had been listening to like his For like a year And then You know label meetings and then in the passing I hear that Bruno's signed to the label and I was like, oh my god I'm actually the biggest fan and I told him like all the stories you shot your shot.

Yeah Your shot you you got that call and you made that thing happen and manifested it well crazy and then he had asked For me to pitch three songs.

Oh, yes you Wow No, because we because of course I asked I was like, oh, do you think I said to the label?

Do you think he would want to do a collaboration and I say it like thinking like not like a hot 99% sure that's not gonna ever ever happen, but I'm just like whatever.

We'll see it.

We'll shoot the shot And then he's like send three songs So I'm like this is not gonna happen, but the fact that he's even gonna listen to three songs Yeah, and then yeah, and then he he'd like I'd met him by that time and he was like What does a PT mean and I was like, it's a Korean drinking game and he was like and I was like I was like really Freaked out I was like what is happening and then the rest is history.

That was the one That was the one and it was a song you wanted him to be on.

That's kind of crazy to how that worked out Congratulations, how cool is it to see not only this song now But the fact that this song is based off of a drinking game that is close to who you are your culture fans and to See that be something that the world now gets to enjoy and wrap their arms around It's a part of who you are in your culture.

It's now something that everyone gets a feeling for Because like it's actually like when I first started drinking Yeah, like I was the day I turned 20 like that's when like I started drinking with friends and It's actually a game that I like everyone actually plays So I feel like for for Korean people, they probably feels like I've made a song and I'm like duck duck goose or something It's like what?

Happening but I it's so much fun.

I Love shocking them be like I'm I have a song called up puts it and they're like what?

And I'm like, right Yeah, they're kind of like what I'm like, oh I love that reaction I did I did it Nothing like going back to your roots.

Yeah giving love to what's making you you That's awesome.

And now you're seeing that your fans are just so excited about your work here Have you thought about what you want to do on stage to be honest?

Cuz I haven't had 12 songs in my life before when they had to right I have I had to like kind of live it out a little bit and so but then like a few weeks back I did like a little like acoustic session just to like start the vibe and I sang all my songs acoustic and I was like I'm obsessed and I was like It got me so excited to perform it and I was like make it folkier Like I was like and it was I'm really excited to perform it now So like I mean at the right time though, I think it has to feel right.

But yeah, I have thought about it Yeah, cuz all the fans they're just ready for everything at one time So I must feel like a lot of pressure but we do see artists that are come on with the album and then the next Day, they're out performing all of it.
