On December 6, Rosé is set to release her first solo album “Rosie.” Breaking away from traditional K-POP frameworks, the recent Rosé seems to open her heart and engage in deep emotional exchanges with the public. After touching hearts with her song “Number One Girl“, Rosé appeared on the podcast “Therapuss with Jake Shane” to openly share her views on relationships, triggering heated discussions online with one particular statement:
Does marriage and buying a house necessarily mean happiness? Some have gone through a lot of pain because of it, and sometimes I truly feel happy to be single.
Beyond fame and fortune
Rosé just realized it earlier than most people
In the comments, some say that Rosé, being young, wealthy, and famous, can express such views without being able to understand the suffering of ordinary people, labeling her a “little princess.” However, is having fame and fortune really closely related to “happiness”? Even though she is seen as a representative of youth, beauty, and wealth, Rosé has also felt humble due to the bitterness of love and has even been unwilling to let go of a toxic past.
In fact, even if we haven’t experienced it ourselves, we have witnessed countless wealthy celebrities fail in their marriages through the news. Rosé has simply seen through all of this earlier than others.
Standards of success instilled by society
Marriage and buying a house do not guarantee happiness
For a long time, marriage and buying a house have seemed to become indispensable indicators in life, viewed as symbols of stability and success. We dedicate our lives to pursuing them, but relationships aimed at marriage can sometimes lead to heartbreak; we work hard only to secure a good job and a stable residence.
However, society makes us pay a price, yet does not guarantee lasting happiness. Many people are constrained by the “marriageable age,” suffering from in-law issues after marriage, and partners may not be supportive; we save every penny to afford the down payment, yet for the next thirty years, we may be exhausted both mentally and physically under economic pressure, while those who promote marriage and buying a house bear no responsibility for this.
Marriage and real estate are choices
Respect individuals, not a single standard
Of course, getting married and buying a house are worthy of congratulations, but the premise is to respect personal choices and act within one’s means. The understanding of happiness varies from person to person; some people eagerly desire to enter marriage to enjoy the daily life of cooking and living together, while others place greater value on having their own home, in exchange for inner freedom.
There is nothing wrong with this, but if marriage and buying a house are viewed as “mandatory courses,” forcing everyone to adopt them as life goals, it loses its essential beauty and can even become a source of pain.
If happiness can still be obtained outside of marriage
Why is it necessary to get married?
Marriage should not be the only measure of happiness.
As netizens have said, Rosé’s success in many areas has allowed her to discover the viewpoint that “being single is very happy,” but this is also a result of her own efforts.
If things outside of marriage can also bring happiness, why must one get married? Happiness does not have a fixed pattern; it may vary from person to person and change with circumstances. Every choice should be respected, and there is no right or wrong.
No matter what choice.
One must take responsibility for their own happiness.
Regardless of the lifestyle choices one makes, the most important thing is to feel proud of those choices and to take the corresponding responsibility. From Rosé’s words, it is evident that she is not escaping from marriage or societal expectations, but rather redefining the meaning of happiness by fully understanding her own needs.
This calmness and confidence is precisely what makes Rosé so charming.
