Inside ROSÉ’s Album Release Party With PAPER

ROSÉ has been dominating global music charts with her Bruno Mars collab “APT.” sitting comfortably at No. 1 for more than seven weeks. Now a solo pop star, the BLACKPINK member’s own album Rosie is out everywhere, featuring “APT.” and its follow-up singles “number one girl” and “toxic till the end,” alongside a cinematic music video that co-stars Evan Mock as ROSÉ’s love interest.

To celebrate the album release, PAPER and Atlantic Records co-hosted a private party earlier this month in New York City at Jean’s. (ROSÉ is our recent cover girl, after all.) Cocktails were all named after Rosie song titles, including an “APT.” shot in honor of the viral Korean drinking game. ROSÉ arrived with all her friends, like Evan and Clairo, who joined her in taking “APT.” shots while DJs Ty Sunderland and Schmidty played the hits.

Guests danced until early morning, snapped pics in our Rosie photobooth and passed around strawberry cake with the album logo printed across it. Debuting at No. 3 on Billboard, Rosie has become the highest-charting album by any Korean female soloist in history — so there’s plenty to celebrate when it comes to ROSÉ.
