  • Apart...everybody puts their hand in the middle.

  • ♪♪

  • Hi, Vogue. I'm Rosie. I'm Rosé.

  • Today, I'm 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 gochujang, and then it's, like, the combination between that and mayo.

  • But then we have it with, like, our dry squid, and it's, like, really good. It's perfect.

  • ♪♪

  • And you just mix it like this.

  • And you do that.

  • Let me taste it.

  • Mm-hmm. 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.

  • Appatsu, which is apartment shortened.

  • And so it basically goes, appatsu, appatsu, appatsu, appatsu, appatsu, appatsu.

  • And everyone puts their hand in the middle.

  • It's my random game, so it's, like,

  • Rosie's favorite game games.

  • I call out, like, a number in my head as everyone's putting their hands in the middle, and I say, like, 9.

  • And everyone stacks their hand from bottom up.

  • Whoever's at the bottom is, like, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

  • 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.

  • 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 would 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 then just pour a little bit of soy sauce.

  • I like to make the chili big.

  • But see, this is, like, 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 going to be so controversial, because 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.

  • Last year, Bruno came to perform in Korea, in Seoul, and my friend was like, do you want to go watch Bruno Mars' concert?

  • And so ever since then, I was like, oh my God, I love Bruno Mars, and I play his 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.

  • He jumped on the song, and he had all these crazy ideas for it.

  • I have, like, three other interviews today.

  • Ta-da!

  • 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 1,000 other contestants who were dying to be a K-pop star.

  • To my absolutely surprise, they were like, you know, 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 off 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.

  • 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 when 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 going to cook it for a little bit, and then I'm going to use this.

  • What's fancy, usually I just use a spoon.

  • You guys want to 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 of it, 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 is something very personal to me, but it's been a long journey.

  • It hasn't been the easiest, because 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 really, really happy moments in the studio where I felt like

  • I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

  • This is when I put 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 want to do this for the rest of my life.

  • It was like my own personal 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 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.

  • Please cut this out.

  • Okay, I'm gonna turn this off.

  • Oh, 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 a side of cilantro.

  • Cilantro makes everything beautiful.

  • Do you want me to tell you a secret that 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.

  • Oh, it'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.

  • Just get the perfect bite with the egg yolk.

  • Yolk is my favorite part.

  • Here we go.

  • Mm-hmm.

  • Mm-hmm.

  • Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

  • 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.
