BLACKPINK’s Rosé has long stood out for her honesty. In a refreshingly candid conversation on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, the K-pop star opened up about the extreme lengths she once went to in order to keep her relationship private. She revealed she disguised herself as an elderly woman to avoid fans and paparazzi.

Speaking about the intense scrutiny surrounding her personal life, Rosé revealed that the fear of being spotted while dating pushed her into what she described as almost “method-level” disguises. To avoid recognition, the singer said she built an entire wardrobe dedicated to blending in as an older woman.

“I got a wig. A black curly wig, like a short one,” Rosé shared on the podcast. “And then I studied how older people, like elderly women, would dress on the street. I’d be like, 'Okay, they wear that kind of skirt, those shoes, that kind of bag.' I would study it, order it, and then dress up.”

The singer explained that these disguises weren’t for public outings or dates at restaurants, but simply to move from place to place without being identified. According to Rosé, the couple rarely stepped out together, instead spending most of their time indoors.

“I would go to his house like that, because we couldn’t go anywhere,” she said. “I traveled that way just in case somebody saw me.”

The APT. hitmaker also revealed that her former boyfriend made some effort to disguise himself as well, though not to the same extent. While he leaned into a more “grandpa-ish” look, Rosé said she took things further, even learning how elderly people walk so she could fully sell the disguise.
