04 lessons I’ve learned from BLACKPINK’s The Rolling Stone interviews 2022

One of my favorite things is watching famous people's interviews. These days BLACKPINK's The Rolling Stone interviews have made me realize so many great things from each member's perspective. So, I want to share them with you.

1, Rosé - "I'm beginning to realize how sad it is to live life without tension."

Working as an idol, especially in BLACKPINK, is never easy. She has been ups and downs in her journey to feeling a little bit comfortable in some settings with BLACKPINK. So many times, Rosé got into vulnerable situations and stressed out. But now, she realizes that living with a bit of tension is also necessary to take herself to the next level. Living under pressure means she is still working and creating something every single day for her fans. Moreover, she feels vulnerable because she cares about her work so much. She is always a perfectionist.


2, Lisa - "You are the first one to say it in detail."

The formula of Lisa's success is her concentration on every detail. People always say that "Lisa is cool," but for her, being cool is very general. When she shoots a music video, she tries to imagine herself in every detail, "how about my facial expressions, my gestures?; should I do this or that?". She just tries and explores herself little by little. And all of the details finally bring her to perfection, which builds up Lisa today.


3, Jisoo - "It wasn't because I love this stage so much; stronger was my sense of responsibility and duty."

Jisoo is still not sure about her path. She compromises with the reality that she is a part of BLACKPINK to get things done. She said, "I haven't found something that I feel like this is for me." Mostly she has done so many things with her bandmates because of a sense of duty and responsibility. It reminds me of my favorite quote "discipline will take you to places where motivation can not." Sometimes, life is not all about our passion. When we haven't figured things out yet, we still work and live with our discipline and responsibility.


4, Jennie - "The Jennie you've seen so far has been practice"

Jennie is an all-rounded idol. She is diverse and can do many different things, such as rapping, singing, dancing, being a luxury model, etc. Although Jennie is so talented now, she never stops herself from trying and learning new things. I think we will see a better Jennie in the future. Moreover, Jennie knows exactly what she has and hasn't. She used to say that "maybe the hip-hop music she and her bandmates are doing is not rebellious, but It's something cool too". That is why you can feel her confidence and humility at the same time. And these personalities make her so attractive to her fan. Jennie is always on the hype.


The insights they shared during the interviews are so valuable to me. I always observe their lessons and apply them to my life. Once again, BLACKPINK is the revolution.
