Rosé of BLACKPINK shared a funny and unexpected story about her public appearances during her latest interview on Capital FM. Released on YouTube on December 12, 2024, the episode, with host Jordan North, unveiled one of her creative strategies to avoid being recognized in public.
She humorously revealed that she has, on multiple occasions, disguised herself as a grandmother. Rosé admitted to wearing a wig and dressing in "grandma clothes" to go unnoticed by fans and the public.
Both the host and the idol shared a hearty laugh over her clever yet comical tactic. Meanwhile, fans were equally amused and impressed by her creativity, flooding to X to praise her for her ingenuity and humor. One X user wrote:
"She's never serious."
Some other reactions on X read:
"Can't believe this," a fan said, adding a few laughing emojis.
"If you think about it, Rosé is a genius, why would anyone get too close to a grandmother?" a netizen stated.
"I don’t blame her I would do this too," another fan commented.
Meanwhile, other fans said,
"Is that why dispatch couldn't catch her," a fan hilariously remarked.
"That’s too funny! Rosé in a full granny disguise is the last thing you'd expect, but it shows just how much she's willing to go all out to have some privacy," a user wrote.
"Gonna start staring at every granny I see in public just in case it might be Rosé," another fan comically added.
Rosé shares her disguise tactic on Capital FM
Capital FM is a popular contemporary hit radio network in the United Kingdom. It primarily broadcasts Top 40 music, including pop, dance, R&B, and hip-hop hits, making it a go-to station for listeners who enjoy current chart-topping tracks. It also extends its brand through digital platforms, live events, and collaborations with artists.
The latest guest on Capital FM host Jordan Smith's show was BLACKPINK’s Rosé, who joined him for a lighthearted episode. The two sat in a cozy café, indulging in some unusual British delicacies while chatting about various topics.
The episode included the idol teaching Jordan how to play the Korean drinking game 'Apateu,' and the duo trying their hand at a fun twist on the classic game 'Never Have I Ever.'
During the game, the host came up with an intriguing statement:
"Never have I ever worn a disguise in public."
To everyone’s surprise, the BLACKPINK member immediately admitted that she had done so multiple times.
"I dressed up as a granny, I got like a wig… I can’t believe I’m telling the world this, it’s crazy."
She even shared that she studied elderly people’s outfits and sourced similar clothing on eBay and other similar online platforms to complete her disguise.
Fans were in stitches over this revelation, jokingly commenting that this explained why Dispatch, the well-known Korean news outlet famous for reporting on celebrities’ personal lives, couldn’t spot her.
The conversation also touched on her meeting with Prince Charles, her record-breaking single APT., and her latest album rosie. The K-pop idol even humorously admitted that she googles her own name to keep up with the latest news about herself.
