Yesterday, the Korean-Australian singer returned for her fourth appearance on the popular South Korean variety show Sea Of Hope, where different Korean celebrities perform music live and provide guests with meals at a seaside venue.
Accompanied by a guitarist, Rosé held her performance of “Read My Mind” in front of a small audience during sunset. “Oh well, I don’t mind if you don’t mind / Cause I don’t shine if you don’t / Before you go / Can you read my mind,” sings the BLACKPINK vocalist in the song’s refrain.
Elsewhere during the episode, Rosé also took on a 2008 track titled “Time Walking Through Memories” by South Korean alternative rock band Nell. SHINee‘s Onew also joined in during the cover, harmonizing during the ending verses of the song.
Rosé also performed an acoustic version of her debut solo single “Gone” during her appearance on the programme. “Another story that’s sad and true / I can feel the pain, can you? / You had to be the one to let me down / To color me blue,” she sang in the refrain.
Rosé previously guest-starred on Sea Of Hope twice last month, where she performed the popular 2009 Paramore song “The Only Exception”. She also teamed up with AKMU’s Lee Su-hyun and SHINee’s Onew on a cover of Alicia Keys’ “If I Ain’t Got You”.
She made her first appearance on the programme in June, where she performed a rendition of John Mayer’s “Slow Dancing In A Burning Room”. The American singer-songwriter took notice of Rosé’s cover, describing it as “gorgeous”, and later gifted the BLACKPINK singer a pink electric guitar by way of saying thanks.

On the corner of main street
Just tryin' to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on, and
You say I'm falling behind
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
The good old days, the honest man
The restless heart, the promised land
A subtle kiss that
no one sees
A broken wrist and a big trapeze
Oh well, I don't mind, you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?
It's funny how you just break down
Waiting on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soaking my spine
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
The teenage queen, the loaded gun
The drop dead dream, the chosen one
A southern drawl, the world unseen
A city wall and
a trampoline
Oh well, I don't mind, you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you jump
Tell me what you find
When you read my mind
Slipping in my faith until I fall
He never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again
She said, I don't mind, you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me
The stars are blazing
like rebel diamonds cut out of the Sun
When you read my mind
