BLACKPINK's Rosé Meets Her "Childhood Hero" In Paris

BLACKPINK were recently in Paris, France, to attend Le Gala de Piéces Jaunes, a charity event organized by the First Lady of France, Brigitte Macron. During the event, BLACKPINK put on an incredible performance, complete with their live vocals and powerful dancing.

The group also posed for numerous pictures that showed just how popular the group is globally, posing with Brigette Macron…

And Pharrell Williams (in a picture taken by President Emmanuel Macron).

A video of BLACKPINK’s interaction with Pharrell went viral as fans could hear Pharrell’s desire to have the group appear on his album as he asked them, “What [does he] have to do?” to make that happen. Understandably, the viral clip sparked outrage among fans, who don’t know why YG Entertainment prevents some of these incredible collaboration opportunities.

And she recently shared more of the event on her Instagram story, showing off a picture of her and tennis player Roger Federer at the event with the caption, “Met my childhood hero.”

Since Rosé plays tennis, it was no surprise to fans that she would have been so excited to meet a tennis legend.

the way before I found out Rosé likes tennis, I knew she likes him for some reason because it is literally only 1 photo where she stands near a person they take photo with (everyone who plays tennis knows me, he is a legend) it's actually so funny pic.twitter.com/Md4PJNc4uN

The idol had even once shared that she would watch the Australian Open while living in Australia. So it’s likely she’s watched Roger Federer play in person.

But aside from showing her appreciation for her “childhood hero,” Rosé, of course, had to share her love for her group, also posting a picture where she posed while Lisa took some pictures for Jisoo. Playfully captioning it, “And I also saw [BLACKPINK].”
