BlackPink's Rosé, renowned for her captivating vocals, is set to contribute to Mnet's "I-Land 2: N/a" by lending her voice to the signal song, backed by the support of acclaimed producer Teddy.
As reported by News 1 on the 28th, Rosé's involvement in the signal song for 'I-Land 2: N/a,' a K-pop girl group debut project by Mnet, marks a significant collaboration in the realm of music entertainment.
Anticipated Collaboration: Unveiling the Next Generation of Talent
This venture is part of the second season of 'I-Land 2: N/a,' which promises a unique journey culminating in the formation of a groundbreaking girl group poised to make waves in the global music scene.
Fans can anticipate the release of this collaboration on April 4th at 6 p.m., setting the stage for an eagerly awaited musical showcase.
Fan Reactions
The news of Rosé's participation has stirred varied reactions among fans, with some expressing enthusiasm for the opportunity to hear her voice in a new setting. However, others have voiced concerns over the circumstances surrounding this collaboration.
Some fans have expressed their thoughts in comments like the following:
- "Rosé, you can refuse this kind of thing, but you won't know when the music comes out. It's too breaking news to do it like that. Look at Tedia Jae Class, who put him last in the order of parts in the regular album and used him as number one in the promotion for G's broadcast."
- "It's just that Teddy is going to use Rosé again. Just Dance was also demoed by Rosé, but this time, it's Rosé openly haha. At least release the music."
- "It's good to hear Rosé's voice quickly with a new song, but the fact that there is no audio means that the owners of that song are the kids who will debut through that program. Rosé is currently preparing her first solo album in 3 years and plans to release it this year, so it's absurd that Rosé is releasing a song to promote that program. In the meantime, they blocked Rosé from collaborating with other singers or doing OSTs."
- " Rosé's music isn't coming out, Teddy. They're using Rosé's voice on TV. ㅆ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ㅂ It's annoying. Don't waste Rosé's time preparing for her solo. Rosé is so nice that she couldn't even refuse. They gave me the same mebo treatment for both of Blackpink's regular albums, but they only use it for times like this. Why are you clinging to Rosé when you're with the girl you like? I hate Teddy's nephew"
- "It's been 3 years since my solo album, but it's coming in 7 days? Damn I'm happy"
Criticisms and Concerns
Criticism has surfaced regarding the nature of Rosé's involvement, with some fans questioning the decision to use her talents for promotional purposes rather than focusing on her solo endeavors.
There are sentiments of disappointment over the perceived prioritization of external projects over Rosé's anticipated solo album, which has been in preparation for an extended period.
Meanwhile, Rosé of BLACKPINK shared a heartfelt letter on Instagram to celebrate Lisa's birthday, expressing gratitude for their friendship and recalling fond memories. She revealed shedding tears during a Taylor Swift concert, particularly during the song "22," which reminded her of their shared past and aspirations.
Fans, known as BLINKs, were moved by Rosé's emotional revelation, speculating about the connection between her tears and her close bond with Lisa. The speculation was fueled by previous conversations between the two about singing "22" together when they were younger.
The acknowledgment of their shared memories resonated deeply with fans, highlighting the enduring friendship between the BLACKPINK members.
