Also at the summit, Rosé gave a speech that attracted a lot of attention. Accordingly, she shared: “Some things I do are never enough. No matter how hard I work, there will always be people who have different opinions or like to control. That makes me feel lonely. Sometimes I’m happy because I have a large number of followers and lovers. But you know, there are some people who are not on my side. And that small part seemed to overwhelm everything and I felt vulnerable.
That’s why social networks have an influence on me. I’m usually very hard on myself but there are thousands of comments that can’t always be controlled. That leads to feelings of loneliness and I’m sure a lot of people out there feel the same way. I think communication is the key to helping me be more open about my mental health” (Temporary translation).
