BLACKPINK’s Rosé has recently been named one of TIME magazine’s “100 Most Influential People of 2025”.

The singer, who tops charts left and right with her song “Apt.”, received a raving praise from actress Lily Collins, who penned a tribute to her for the magazine, revealing that the two met while they were at a Saint Laurent show in Paris last year.

“I’ve come to learn that not only is Rosé really genuine and down-to-earth, but she’s also a total badass. She’s such a dynamic performer and songwriter, and I think it’s incredible that she’s able to captivate arenas full of people as both a member of the biggest girl group in the world and also as a solo artiste,” Collins expressed.

“Not to mention, her humour and deep soulful energy are even more captivating at a lunch for two. She’s basically the definition of an icon and a boss. Her voice is so strong and her music is so much fun – and I love texting her every time I hear “APT.” or “toxic till the end” on the radio,” she added.

Other artistes who were listed this year include Scarlett Johansson, Ed Sheeran and Adam Scott. However, it is noted that Rosé was listed under the “Pioneer” category instead of “Artist”.
