BLACKPINK’s Rosé appeared on the popular podcast Call Her Daddy, where she introduced the Korean cocktail Somaek to international viewers and listeners. Somaek is a simple mix of beer and soju that is widely enjoyed in South Korea. The BLACKPINK member explained how the drink is made while casually chatting with the podcast’s host, Alex Cooper, presenting a part of South Korea’s social culture to a global audience. Her relaxed and interactive approach made the moment easy to follow, even for viewers and listeners unfamiliar with Korean culture.
The episode was released on January 28, 2026, under the title “Alex Cooper Presents: A Grammys Special.” The podcast was created to highlight artists connected to the upcoming 2026 Grammy Awards. Rather than staying in one studio, the episode followed Rosé and Alex through different locations tied to her schedule in Asia. These included a café in Seoul, a street-style lunch spot, her recording studio redesigned as a podcast set, a karaoke room, and a lounge in Tokyo, Japan. These changes allowed for more personal conversations and provided a closer look into Rosé’s daily life.

Rosé’s appearance came at a major moment in her career. The singer has earned multiple nominations at the 20206 Grammy Awards, thanks to her collaboration with Bruno Mars on the song APT. She was nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Duo Group Performance, becoming the first KPop solo artist nominated in general-field Grammy categories.
