When is BLACKPINK Rosé's Solo Debut?
On Mar. 1, YG Entertainment and BLACKPINK's Rosé shared two teasers to their social media accounts. One features Rosé lying down on what appears to be a leather beige couch. Her upper body is covered in lilac-colored fabric. Her name is spelled out in huge, yellow letters. On top of her name is her debut date - Mar. 12, 2021.
In another teaser, we see Rosé standing behind outdoors, in a place that appears to be lit on fire. The fog clouds up the redness of the fire. Behind Rosé is a sign that reads, "No way out / You are now." Though Rosé's face is not seen, we see her silhouette and the bottom of her red dress. Once again, her name is spelled out in big letters. Her solo debut date is below her name - Mar. 12, 2021.
