The Rose
The Rose (더로즈) is a four-piece Korean band that turned an indie busking origin story into one of the most globally mobile acts in its lane. The group debuted in 2017 with "Sorry," a breakout single that still defines its emotional pull, then kept building through releases like Void, Dawn, Heal, DUAL, and WRLD. Fronted by Woosung alongside Dojoon, Taegyeom, and Hajoon, The Rose built its audience through touring as much as streaming, with festival runs and headline dates that pushed the band well beyond the usual idol ecosystem. In April 2026, the band announced that "Blue Moon," the album ROSE, and the ROSETOPIA tour would close this chapter before a temporary break focused on individual goals.
