Rosé is reflecting on the ups and downs of her landmark 2024.

The BLACKPINK superstar took to Instagram on Tuesday (Jan. 7) to share moments from the past year, which saw her delving into a successful solo career. “2024 for me, was the toughest and most rewarding year to date,” she admitted in the caption. “What a crazy year it was. I got to do everything I ever wanted. Which was to work on so much music. And yes, I got to do a lot of it. There were so many times I thought I couldn’t get to where I wanted to be, and as much as this whole journey was not easy at all, I was blessed with and few unbelievably incredible friends along the way.”

She continued, “I can walk away from 2024 knowing that I’ve made some life long friends, learned a few INSANE! life lessons, and put out my first full length studio album – that I’m frankly quite proud of. Thank you to all my number ones who have been supporting and loving ‘rosie’. And thank you 2024 for being an unforgettable year. I feel as if this year is a beginning to a whole world full of fun for me. And I am so excited to have you all be a part of it. Off to 2025 now! Bring it on.”

Rosé is fresh off the release of her solo debut album, Rosie. The 12-track set includes hit single “APT.” with Bruno Mars — which has spent 10 weeks so far at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 — and “Number One Girl.” “I have poured my blood and tears into this album,” she wrote on Instagram when she first announced the project back in October. “I cannot wait for you to listen to this little journal of mine. Rosie – is the name I allow my friends and family to call me. With this album, I hope you all feel that much closer to me.”
