On December 5, Rosé appeared on Daesung's YouTube channel 'Zip Daesung' and candidly discussed her struggles with depression:
She admitted, "I don’t have hobbies outside of work." She mentioned, "I only feel a sense of accomplishment through work, and when I take a break, I don't feel like doing anything."
She continued, "I’m a workaholic, constantly working non-stop. The issue is, while it hasn't led to burnout yet, as I keep going, my brain starts to feel like it’s shutting down. I began to worry that if I continued down the wrong path, I might not even be able to do the work I love."
Rosé talked about needing balance, saying, "I need to be cautious. At the end of the day, the only one who can take responsibility for me is myself. I once took a full day off, and the sunset was so beautiful. I even went to a renowned pasta restaurant. It was the first time in my life that I felt such emotions."
She also shared how her life changed after taking a break. She explained, "Before, I had so much to do that I built a wall around myself, keeping everyone out. If that wall fell, I thought I wouldn’t be able to do anything. But after taking a break, I gained the ability to take care of things I had neglected before."
Rosé revealed she had shingles due to extreme stress. She admitted, "This is the first time I’m talking about it, but I once had shingles." She elaborated, "I was so stressed, thinking, 'What if no one cares about BLACKPINK anymore? What will I do with my life then?' I felt like I might become someone who loses their job at this young age."
She also admitted to experiencing depression, stating, "I had depression just once. I think it's something anyone can experience, like catching a cold."
