Rosé BLACKPINK is the only K-pop idol to be included in TIME magazine's List of 100 Most Influential People in 2025. This announcement is a list released by TIME on an annual basis.

In the article he shared, Collins revealed that he had a startruck moment when he met the APT singer.

"As a BLACKPINK fan, I was very happy when I sat beside Rosé on last year's Saint Laurent show. The amazing fact is that we are directly connected," wrote Lily Collins.

"He was very sweet and calm in the midst of camera and crowd riots and we ended up talking all night about fashion, architecture, food, and travel. He has a good soul and since then we are getting closer," he said.

The mother of one explained that BLACKPINK members were extraordinary as singers and artists. As long as he was friends with Rose, Collins felt Rose's taste was very attractive.

He is the definition of an icon and boss. His voice is very strong and his music is very fun and I like to write messages every time I hear APT or toxic till the end on the radio," he said.

I am so enlivened by Rose's enthusiasm and really, everything about him. I am very proud of everything he has accomplished throughout the year and I am fortunate to call him a friend," said Lily Collins.

After leaving YG Entertainment, Rose joined The Black Label and released his first album. He is also increasingly successful with various singles being launched.
