Hi, Vogue, I'm Rosie.

I'm Rose.

Today I am gonna be making you kimchi fried rice and somaek,

my favorite drink to drink while playing APT.

APT is the name of my single that just dropped

and APT is actually a Korean drinking game

that I love to play with my friends.

I'm so nervous.

In Korea, you call beer maekju.

So you mix the two words, so from soju and maek from maekju

so it's called somaek

and it's just like a perfect combination

between soju and beer.

It just makes the beer a little more alcoholic

which we love.

And then I'm gonna make my favorite snack

to have my somaek with.

My friends are gonna laugh at me when they see this.

They're gonna be like, I can't believe

that you showed the world how to make Cheongyang mayo sauce.

This pepper is called Cheongyang gochu

and then it's like the combination between that and mayo

but then we have it with like our dried squid

and it's like really good, it's perfect.

[calm music]

And you just mix it like this and you do that.

Let me taste it.

Mhm.

So good.

That's literally it.

So basically we were hanging out in the studio

and I was like, how about I teach you guys

some drinking games, Korean drinking games,

and then I started doing it.

Apateu which is apartment shortened.

And so it basically goes.

♪ Apateu apateu ♪

♪ Apateu apateu ♪

♪ Apateu apateu ♪

Everyone puts their hand in the middle.

It's my random game.

So it's like Rosie's favorite game games.

I can call out like a number in my head

as everyone's putting their hands in the middle

and I say like nine

and everyone stacks their hand from bottom up.

Whoever's at the bottom is like

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine

and whoever gets on top has to take the shot

and I did it and they were like obsessed with it.

And by the way, in the process of this,

you should never touch your eyes

'cause you'll just be crying the whole night.

And so we were playing APT

and the next day I was like, okay, today's the day,

I think we should write the song and we did

but then I remember going home kind of freaked out.

I was like, is this okay

that I've written like a song about like a drinking game?

Is this too unserious?

And so I like got all of the producers and songwriters

to delete the song off of their phones.

For like a while,

they had no idea what I'd be talking about.

I'd be like, oh, by the way, I played a few people APT

and they were like, what song are you talking about?

And I was like, oh my God, I totally forgot,

I made everyone delete it off their phones.

But then I'm like, bring it back out, bring it back out.

People are obsessed with it.

And then we finished it off.

So I do that, get the mayonnaise

and I just pour a little bit of soy sauce.

I like to make the chili big but see,

this is only because I love spicy things.

I feel like most people would probably find it

a bit too spicy.

Oh yes, yes, you're smart, thank you.

I'm obsessed with cilantro and I put it with everything.

This is gonna be so controversial

'cause I'm sure there's a lot of people who hate cilantro

but I think I'm a bit weird though.

This is my own thing.

Mm.

Last year, Bruno came to performing in Korea in Seoul

and my friend was like,

do you wanna go watch a Bruno Mars concert?

And so ever since then I was like, oh my God,

I love Bruno Mars in like I plays songs all the time.

Fast forward, somebody set up a meeting with him and I

and I met him and I was like, I was fangirling so much

and he like jumped on the song

and he had all these like crazy ideas for it.

I have like three other interviews today.

Tada.

All you need is a whole chunk of kimchi, the good old Spam,

gochujang so chili paste, olive oil, eggs and rice.

Oh and sugar, sugar.

My mom told me not to put it in

but it makes the whole thing so much better.

And that's how you make kimchi fried rice.

Okay, let's get started.

Can everybody tell I'm like really nervous right now?

Let's set the record straight.

I was born in New Zealand

and I moved to Australia when I was eight years old.

Took an open audition amongst 1000 other contestants

who are dying to be a Kpop star.

To my absolutely surprise, they were like,

stop everything you're doing.

Can you fly to Korea in two months?

I trained for four years

and then at the end of four years, I was 20

and I came out as Blackpink,

wait, I guess 19 in American age

doing Blackpink for eight years and I'm still doing it

but this year is the year of my album.

So my album name is Rosie and it's called that

because my friends and family call me Rosie.

As much as this album really is kind of a reflection

of I would say the past four years of my life

and all the stories that I've had

that I haven't ever really been able to show,

all of that put into this album

and I wanted everyone to feel like

they were that much closer to me

and so that's why it's called Rosie.

If you listen to it from top to bottom

and you know like 80% of the lyrics by heart

then you may call me Rosie.

I am killing the knife game.

Just gonna put that on the pan before it gets hot.

And then the controversial Spam, here we go.

Yep, whoo.

What is Spam?

I don't even know.

I'm sure it's edible meat, let's hope.

Designer gloves.

But you know what I noticed?

I might be wrong but I feel like Korean Spam

tastes a bit better.

Am I causing drama?

I grew up eating really healthy.

My mom would be like, she's kind of like a health freak

and I was pretty good with whatever she gave me.

I think I kind of created this love

for Spam over my training years.

We would eat some crazy things like dumplings.

It's like the frozen ones that you buy at the store

and then you boil it in water, that with oriental dressing.

It's beautiful.

This is where you have to be careful.

Oh my God, it smells so good.

Yes, we have the kimchi in here and the Spam in here.

We're just gonna like cook it for a little bit

and then wanna use this.

Looks fancy, usually I just use a spoon.

You guys wanna see?

I have to start a cooking show now.

So this morning, I actually had my very first meeting.

It was like offline.

And I was really shocked

because that was the first time I was talking

about the album coming out.

And to my surprise, I actually cried

and I was like, why am I crying?

And I made the best and I was like,

this is happy tears by the way.

I'm not sad in any type of way.

I'm really, really happy.

I always knew it's something very personal to me

but it's been a long journey.

It hasn't been the easiest

'cause in the process of me writing this album,

I was trying to be independent.

I was out here trying to navigate

this next chapter of my life

and so whilst also like really, really happy moments

in the studio

where I felt like I wouldn't wanna be anywhere else.

This is when I put like a little bit of the kimchi thingy in

and then I drizzle it with a little bit of sugar.

I remember being in the studio

when I recorded for the first time.

I was like, oh my God,

I wanna do this for the rest of my life.

It was like my own personal like therapy session basically

but I really cannot wait for my fans to listen to my music

and feel that much closer to me

because it really is like, it's a lot of my personality

that my friends and family know.

I'm feeling really nervous.

This never gets easy.

Okay, no, I suck already.

This was supposed to be heated.

Gordon Ramsay would kill me.

I'm scared, guys.

Ah.

Please cut this out.

Okay and turn this off.

Ah.

Now my hands are sweaty.

It's so heavy.

The plating is the most important, is it not?

It looks really good.

You guys are gonna think I'm crazy

but I always have it with a side of cilantro

like a whole side of cilantro.

Stunning.

Beautiful with the side of cilantro.

Cilantro makes everything beautiful.

Do you want me to tell you a secret

I've never told anyone in the world?

My ultimate dream of life

is to be retired and to own a cilantro farm.

I'm gonna have like a Michelin chef

create a full cilantro course menu

and then it's just gonna be like a winery

but like it's like a cilantro-y

and I'm gonna call it The Cilantro Farm.

That's genius.

And I'm just gonna sit by my cilantro farm

and have my like cilantro cocktail.

That's my dream, guys.

That's what I'm gonna be doing when I'm old.

But here you go.

That's my beautiful kimchi fried rice.

Let's get the perfect bite with the egg yolk.

Yolk is my favorite part.

Here we go.

Mhm.

Mhm.

Mhm mhm.

I'm really proud.

This is the first thing I'm doing today.

This is like already the best day of my life.

I think I'm ready to go back and have more of this,

more of that with my staff.

It's so good.

Yummy.

I'm announcing it here.

Vogue, this is an announcement

and only Vogue viewers get to know about this.

In 20 to 30 years, I'll have my own cilantro farm.

It's gonna be called The Cilantro Farm.

We better like trademark that.

Bye, thank you.
