BLACKPINK Rose just talked about how “being anonymous” would give her more "freedom."
The 28-year-old pop singer, who rose to stardom in 2016, takes extreme measures to disguise herself, which includes dressing up like an old woman so that she could walk unrecognized.
She told Dazed magazine: "What does freedom look like to me? Freedom means being anonymous."
As she discussed using prosthetics to make herself go undercover, Rose did admit she would not go to such extreme lengths again, saying, "It was really, really intense. I don’t think I’ll ever do that again."
When asked if she would consider going into acting to become another person temporarily, Rose answered, "Wow, yes, I think that would be incredible in that sense... Yes, I would love to act, because I’ll get to feel what it’s like to be anonymous."
Recalling when she had to speak at a corporate event in Europe and she hesitated in walking through a crowd, she was relieved no one seemed to notice her at that time.
"I was so anxious because usually when I walk through a big crowd of people I have to understand that people are going to recognize me and look at me .. [But no one noticed me so] I was jumping up and down after…” Rose of BLACKPINK said of the time.
