BLACKPINK Rosé Shares Her Favorite Everyday Items with Elle Korea

BLACKPINK Rosé recently sat down with Elle Korea to share a deeply personal look into her life, revealing her favorite everyday items, including a unique tear-drop stress ball and a handmade self-praise journal. In a YouTube video published on September 2, 2026, the South Korean global superstar gave fans a glimpse inside her bag, showcasing essentials like lip balm, a camera, a notebook, and the intriguing stress ball.

When introducing the tear-drop stress ball, Rosé playfully kept its origins a secret. “Someone special gave this to me as a gift. But I think it might be a spoiler, so I’ll keep it a secret,” she laughed, adding, “I feel like a mysterious woman with secrets now,” building delightful anticipation among her fans.

Overcoming Hard Times and Creating the Proud Book

Beyond her fun everyday carry items, Rosé opened up about a more vulnerable side, revealing a custom-made notebook she calls the ‘Proud Book’ (or ‘Pputdeut’ in Korean). She candidly shared, “I’m showing you this because I went through a bit of a difficult time recently.”

Reflecting on her lifelong habits, the singer explained, “Ever since I was little, I had a habit of constantly finding my flaws and fixing them. While that helped me achieve many things I wanted, I realized I had forgotten how to make myself truly happy along the way.” To combat this, she created her journal as a tool to practice self-praise, write diary entries, and process things that weigh her down, offering a heartwarming recommendation to anyone facing similar struggles.
