In an interview with the Korean media outlet Korea Daily, Kelly shared her admiration for Rosé, stating,

“I really like Rosé from BLACKPINK, she is a great artist. I also love K-pop music; it is very fun and perfect for dancing.”

Known for her soulful pop and R&B style, Kelly has gained a significant following in South Korea. Her music has been covered by K-pop artists such as BTS’ Jungkook and aespa’s Winter, and has attracted the interest of rising stars like RIIZE’s Anton. Her recent collaboration with Kim Chaewon of LE SSERAFIM on the track Spruce marked her first partnership with a K-pop artist.

Kelly’s admiration for Rosé is well-founded. As the main vocalist of one of the world’s most prominent girl groups, BLACKPINK, Rosé is renowned for her powerful vocals and distinctive artistry. A collaboration between Kelly and Rosé could bring together Western pop-R&B and K-pop, creating a unique musical fusion that showcases both artists’ strengths.

Kelly’s remarks came during her debut concert in South Korea, Tori Kelly Live in Seoul, held at Myung Hwa Live Hall in Yeongdeungpo Gu, Seoul, on August 27. This performance was part of her world tour, PURPLE SKIES, and marked her first appearance in Korea since her 2020 concert was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, Rosé is making notable progress in her solo career. After joining THEBLACKLABEL, she hinted at new music on her birthday in February 2024 and contributed to Final Love Song, the theme for I-LAND 2 in April.
