The Rose is a South Korean boy band with 4 members – Kim Woosung, Park Dojoon, Lee Hajoon, and Lee Jaehyeong. The Rose start out as an indie band. Dojoon and Jaehyung meet first, later on Jaehyung meets Hajoon and when the three decide to officially create the band, they start looking for a fourth member, which turns out to be Woosung.

The Rose debut officially under J&Star Company with the song “Sorry” on August 3, 2017. They take inspiration for their music from American pop-rock bands such as Coldplay and create their own unique sound, especially for the Korean music industry. “Sorry” quickly becomes a hit not only in Korea, but also in America, and a couple of monts later the band releases their second single – “Like We Used To”.

Soon after their debut The Rose start touring within Korea, and in 2018 they alse head on a world tour. The band also plays at festivals throughout Asia. Their latest single is “RED”, which you can listen to on Spotify. Apart from their own music, the band has a lot of covers, as well as a couple of soundtrack appearances, the latest one of which is for the series “Strangers”.

When asked why the band is called The Rose, Woosung answers: “It’s a name to show music that coexisted with the beauty of flowers and the sharpness of thorns”. Each member represents a different colour and its respective traits. Woosung’s flower is the white rose, which trait is purity. Dojoon represents passion and entusiasm through the red rose. Hajoon stands by the blue rose, which means that miracle indeed happen, and Jaehyeong’s rose is pink, which means happiness and romance.
