Even if Rose's APT reaches #1 in Hot 100, it does not make Rose the greatest soloist to have come from KPop

Warren Harding, the 29th President of United States, died on Aug 2, 1923.

He was in a lot of shit when he died, something I won't recount here.

At that time, the Vice President, Calvin Coolidge, was vacationing in his father's log house in New England.

After getting the news of Harding's death, Coolidge's father, a local judge, inaugurated him as the President in a candlelight.

It made a good story, but the Attorney General, Harry Daugherty, who was a very good crony of Harding, did not want to recognize Coolidge so he found a technicality - since a US President was a federal job, and Coolidge's father only had power in his own state, the inauguration by Coolidge's father was invalid and Daugherty refused to recognize Coolidge as President.

Daugherty forced Coolidge to take a new oath over a federal judge in Washington D.C, embarrassing Coolidge and his father.

  Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars, 8 weeks in chart

All of them have been in the charts for quite a while, with no new songs jumping in, so Rose's song has a very good chance of reaching #1 in a couple of weeks.

However, Whyknock, the watcher of KPop for quite a long time, found a technicality which disqualifies Rose's song as a KPop song and even if she wins #1 in Hot 100 it does not make her song the greatest KPop song from a female soloist.

This song, other than some rapping at the beginning, is entirely on English, and is sung by Roseanne Park, a New Zealander, and Bruno Mars, an American.

The songwriters of APT

Rose was apparently aware of this technicality and put her name as "Park Chae Young", but like Don Lee whose Korean, but not legal, stage name is Ma Dongseok, Park Chaeyoung is just her Korean nickname, not her legal name or anything.

There are no Koreans involved in that song, and the owner of Black Label, Teddy, is an American.

In other words there is no indication anywhere that this is a KPop song.

It is just Pop, with a New Zealander and an American, so even if Rose wins #1 in Billboard Hot 100,

it does not make her the greatest KPop soloist, sorry.

Coolidge had to bite the bullet and acknowledge defeat before Daugherty by doing a second oath before a minion of D.

There is no way for Roseanne Park to bite the bullet and make APT a KPop song now since no Korean was involved in that song and no Korean was sung in there.

So, by a technicality, the singer who had contributed so little to KPop will retain her position of the Greatest Soloist of Korean Pop ever, since Roseanne Park is not Korean and her song is not KPop.

Omg how many business days to write it

Maybe half an hour?

Quote from DaisyTheGenuine

The senior singer will crumble away as ashes and dust

Her empire is now in its greatest challenge and she wasted her chance by helping Billie, whose song died on arrival. It was an attempt to avoid taking sides in the aespa vs Illit battle, but it only succeeded alienating both.

Quote from One-and-only

I want to ask this question from a long time. Are you a history teacher

No. I just studied history a lot since past history rules human behavior.

Quote from bbgc

It has been many years since the Senior Singer has recognised Rosé and nothing gives her greater accreditation as a part of Kpop.

And she has paid filial duty to Sunbaenim.

So technicality won't work.

But neither will one hit when remaining a part of active Blackpink make Rose a soloist.

Can she (or others) hold audience when the group is well in the past, like Taeyeon does. Harry Styles does.

That remains to be seen.

That will be iffy since Rose still had this stunt when BlackPink has a clout

In 10 years , as other members have moved on to their next stages of lives,I doubt Roseanne will hold on to her position.

Quote from jimeous

That might be a point but it does make her the smartest BP member to sign with a Label that has clout to attract a AAA American Artist

True, proving Roseanne's clout, and embarrassing to Lee Jieun who cannot even get a has been to produce her song, due to her insistence of writing Korean lyrics herself.
