BLACKPINK’s Rosé is set to create history at the 2026 Grammy Awards, becoming the first K-pop solo artist to perform on the prestigious Grammy stage. Her appearance at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards marks a significant milestone not only in her solo career but also for the global recognition of K-pop as a mainstream musical force.
Rosé, whose real name is Park Chae-young, has enjoyed a remarkable year following the success of her collaborative single “APT.” with Bruno Mars. The track has received widespread acclaim and earned nominations in some of the Grammy Awards’ most competitive categories, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Such recognition places Rosé among the world’s leading music artists and highlights her growing influence beyond the K-pop industry.
