ROSÉ SAYS SHE WAS 'FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE' TO NAIL BLACKPINK AUDITION: Rosé tells Vogue Australia, in their June issue, that training for BLACKPINK triggered her fight-or-flight experience. She recalls of her early months as a trainee, “When I got to Korea, I was like, ‘This is quite intense.’ I noticed that there were 12 other girls who had been training day and night for about five years and I had just gotten there.” The singer added, “I ended up fighting for my life, training for my life. Because I couldn’t accept the fact that I’d just be cut and sent back. So I had no time to slack off. I remember I took every minute and every second to work on my craft so that I could make it.”
