The Rose: Come Back to ME
In 2017, The Rose built a millions-strong global fan base as a breakout Korean indie rock band —after all four members dropped out of the K-pop training system to pursue music on their own terms. Now, after a turbulent three-year hiatus, The Rose is making their comeback with an electrifying tour. The Rose documentary is an intimate, all-access view of the band's audacious bid for redemption, independence, and a second chance for glory.
With exclusive access to the band as they write, record and perform in their comeback tour, we’ll be with The Rose for their journey to change the world of music while staying true to themselves.
Premiere: Tribeca Festival June 2024, Intl Premiere: Busan Intl Film Festival September 2024
