Meanwhile, Rose received a very special shoutout from Shakira for her cover of the hit song "Waka Waka." It can be recalled that in BLACKPINK's recent guesting for Knowing Bros., Rose performed her version of Shakira's iconic song "Waka Waka."

BLINKs welcomed Shakira's reaction and said it would just be perfect for the two singers to collaborate on a song.
BLACKPINK just released their final comeback of the year with their first full-length album entitled THE ALBUM. After breaking records by reaching new milestones on international music charts, Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rose are expected to focus on individual promotions in the final quarter of the year. YG Entertainment earlier confirmed that Rose will be the first to release her solo debut this year after group promotions.
