Could Rosé go into Eurovision contest?

  • Is it allowed for people that are already famous to compete?

    Yes, it's allowed. And where famous? Internationally? Not many representatives are internationally famous but are big stars in their own countries. Željko Joksimović, who represented my country 3 times is a big star here.

  • wikipedia says she was raised in australia but that she is not Australian !

    That's a really problematic statement.


    Didn't expect people regurgitating MAGA talking points in this forum.


    Here, in Australia, if you live here, are raised here, you are Australian. Apart from our indigenous population, everyone's ancestors had to immigrate here in modern times.


    Also, FYI, our second ever Eurovision contestant was Dani IM, who was also Born in South Korea and raised in Australia.

  • This has nothing to do with MAGA but, like i said, pov from homogeneous countries.


    You can find countless of videos on YouTube people talking about, for example, being born in Japan, speaking fluently Japanese and/or being half Japanese and despite all that society doesn't consider them japanese. If you don't look like the rest of the population and share religion, society won't consider you as their own. For example, in my country minorities are white and have been living here for decades and decades and nobody considers them my nationality, both us nor them, that's a big no-no.

    That's how it is in homogeneous societies.

    I understand your point, but this person was talking about Australia. It would have taken 5 seconds to find out how Australia views those comments and the fact we've had someone with identical circumstances (literally) to Rose represent Australia at Eurovision.


    Basically the Aeicy person was ignorant and spoke on a country they know nothing about. In my country, the language of how immigrants and people who have chosen our country for their life "aren't Australian" is language that is used by right-wing racists and xenophobes (hence the MAGA talking point comment).


    It's despicable and quite frankly I find the culture of what you describe towards their minorities who live, work, pay taxes and contribute to society and country despicable too if they don't accept them as their nationality, but I guess that's not my country or culture and they can do as they wish.

  • It could depend on her citizenship, I've never been able to tell if she's still an Australian citizen or if she went South Korean (SK doesn't allow dual citizenship, it's one or the other).


    And then, if she is now an SK citizen, do the rules or Eurovision allow her to represent Australia?


    I'll say this, IF she ever did, it'd actually finally make Australian mainstream recognise that she actually exists.


    If she is still on an Australian passport, and hence Australian, I have a LOT of ranting to do about how she's never been recognised by Australian media for her accomplishments (even as simple as most followed Australian woman on social media)

  • And then, if she is now an SK citizen, do the rules or Eurovision allow her to represent Australia?


    Anyone can represent any country in Eurovision if they are invited or if they successfully participate in that country's national selection process.


    In theory, for example, Rosé, who (assuming) holds Korean citizenship, could represent a country like Germany and perform a song entirely in Arabic.

    It seems a bit more complex than what I first searched, which out right said it's not possible.


    There are limited provisions for dual citizenship for Koreans according to :

    South Korea - Dual Citizenship
    The Korean citizenship law primarily recognizes ius sanguinis, meaning that whoever is born to a Korean national immediately becomes a Korean citizen…
