This week on Hot Ones: Rosé
By Meg Dowell
Since its YouTube debut, Hot Ones has welcomed all sorts of guests onto the show -- from actors and directors to professional athletes and musicians. The show announces its guests the week of each episode's release, and it's always exciting to await the newest name to grace the now iconic Hot Ones set.
This week's celebrity guest is singer Rosé, first part of the K-pop group Blackpink before releasing her first solo album in 2021. She is South Korean, was born in New Zealand and raised in Australia, and has been nominated for and won numerous awards for her various roles in music.
Rosé holds two Guinness World Records -- one for "First artist to reach number one on a Billboard Global chart as a soloist and as part of a group" and another for "Most viewed YouTube music video in 24 hours by a solo K-pop artist" for "On the Ground." With all these accomplishments behind her, and what is likely to be many more ahead, one question remains: Can she handle the heat?
For those new to Hot Ones, the show is an interview-style format hosted exclusively on the YouTube platform. Host Sean Evans asks celebrity guests a series of questions while they each eat hot wings with different hot sauces. The catch is that with each question the guest answers, the wings get hotter (and the questions get harder). The interview ends in one of two ways: Either the guest survives the hottest wings (and final question) or they tap out when the heat becomes too much.
You can watch this week's episode of Hot Ones on the First We Feast YouTube channel this Thursday at 11:00 AM..
