Rose BLACKPINK Receives 'True' MBE Title, What Are the Benefits that Can Be Obtained?

Kapanlagi.com - BLACKPINK has just been awarded the honorary title of Members of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) on Wednesday (22/11/2023) directly from King Charles at Buckingham Palace, England. BLACKPINK received this title for their role as advocates at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Glasgow.

For those who don't know, MBE is given to individuals for their outstanding achievements or contributions to society, making a real and sustainable impact, and serving as an example to others. MBE is part of the Order of The British Empire.

The Order of the British Empire itself was established in 1917 by King George V to honor people who served on the front lines during World War I. However, now the award is given to civilians and military personnel who are considered to have made significant contributions in their field.

The Order of the British Empire consists of several levels, depending on the level of dedication or service. The highest level is KBE or DBE, where recipients of this title will be called Sir / Dame; CBE, OBE, and MBE.

1. Rose Gets Full Benefit

In addition to BLACKPINK, some well-known celebrities who have been awarded MBE include Ed Sheeran, Adele, and others. But among the BLACKPINK members, only Rose gets the full benefit of this MBE title. Why?

So Rose will receive full benefits because she happens to have dual citizenship, South Korea and New Zealand. Since the latter country is part of the British Commonwealth, she is entitled to become a full MBE member.

Meanwhile, the other three BLACKPINK members become honorary members. As we know, Jennie and Jisoo are Korean citizens, and Lisa is from Thailand.

So what benefits will Rose receive after receiving the MBE title?

First of all, she can add MBE after her name. No wonder 'Roseanne Park MBE' became a trend on X because fans were happy for their idol's achievement.

According to the Royal Central website, Rose can also add a symbol on her clothes when attending important events related to the British state. This is to show her membership in the Order of the British Empire.

Rose can also have a wedding at St Paul's Cathedral because there is a special chapel provided for those who have the MBE to KBE title. Rose's future children can also get married or baptized there.

And most importantly, with the MBE title, Rose and the other BLACKPINK members will find it easier to continue advocating for issues such as climate change.
