BLACKPINK star Rosé opened up about how she hasn't fully mastered 'feeling completely comfortable in her own skin' yet, as she posed up a storm in a stunning CR Fashion Book photoshoot on Friday.
The singer, 29, real name Roseanne Park, looked incredible as she graced the cover of the magazine's April issue, reflecting on identity, confidence, and creative growth while opening up about the emotional process behind her album Rosie.
Rosé, who is a member of the South Korean girl group BLACKPINK, is preparing to mark nearly a decade with the popular girl group as she confidently steps further into her solo era.
However, despite being an exceptionally successful solo artist, the singer has now opened up about how she has to work on her confidence every day.
Speaking to CR Fashion Book's Editorial Director Paloma Clément-Picos, she said: 'I feel much more comfortable than I did in my early twenties, but I’m not fully there yet.
'At 29, I haven’t mastered feeling completely comfortable in my own skin, but I’m definitely better at it than I was years ago.'

Asked whether she thinks confidence is something you never stop building, she replied: 'I don’t know if I’ve reached it yet. But it’s something I have to work on every day.
She added: 'Even when I feel very confident, my mind is constantly evolving and finding new challenges. It’s ongoing work. But I’m learning little tricks — small ways to understand how my brain works.'
Elsewhere in the interview, Rosé said she is 'proud' that the band have got 10 years of experience under their belt, as she discussed the major milestone.
Asked whether she is fully aware of the milestone, she said: 'I definitely am. I feel it in my bones now. A few years ago, I would say, "It's already been that many years".
'But now I really feel the decade. We’ve been through so much. We’ve accomplished a lot and faced many challenges.
She added: 'I’m proud to say we have ten years of experience. I’m grateful for those years.'
'In the past, I would focus only on the performing, working version of myself and neglect the others.
'But I’ve learned that if I want everything to function well, I need to take care of every part of me, and I’m still learning how to do it.'

Elsewhere in the interview, Rosé said she is most proud of her work ethic, as it drives her to do many things.

'But I am proud of it. It’s what drives me to do so many things and still have fun while doing this work.'
