The Rose (더 로즈) is a Korean alt-pop indie band made up of four talented members:
vocalist and guitarist Woosung, vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Dojoon, bassist
Jaehyeong, and drummer Hajoon.
Their upcoming album, WRLD, promises to blend familiar early sounds with fresh sonic
landscapes and genres. Fans can look forward to country-inspired melodies and
themes of reflection and coming of age.
Known for their electrifying performances, The Rose has rapidly become one of Koreas
most sought-after groups, consistently delivering critically acclaimed albums that
resonate with fans worldwide. In 2019, three of the band members temporarily went on
hiatus to fulfill their mandatory military service obligations. During this period, Woosung
pursued a successful solo career, releasing captivating albums and undertaking sold-
out world tours.
To the delight of fans, The Rose reunited during one of Woosungs performances in
South Korea in 2022. This reunion paved the way for their first full-length album, HEAL,
which was inspired by the transformative power of music and the personal stories
shared by both their fans and the band. HEAL reached #4 on Billboards Heatseekers
Chart, and their accompanying HEAL Together World Tour attracted an impressive
audience of over 90,000 attendees. This success led to a series of high-profile festival
appearances, including a headlining spot on the Bacardi Stage at Lollapalooza in
Chicago in 2023 and an explosive performance at Coachella in 2024.
Following this success, their second full-length album, DUAL, debuted on the Billboard
200 chart, marking a significant milestone in their growth. Building on the emotional
honesty and vulnerability showcased in HEAL, DUAL explores the profound concept of
"balance." The Rose masterfully weaves together light and dark elements, capturing the
dualistic essence that defines their music.
Driven by an unwavering dedication to their fans and the unbreakable bond of their
friendship, The Rose continues to push artistic boundaries, captivating audiences
worldwide with their soul-stirring music and unforgettable performances.
