On December 24, a netizen wrote on his social media: “Rosé, Bruno Mars, please help me save my son who is addicted to “APT”. from morning to night, every single day.“
The netizen included the caption “Owned by “APT”. level: legendary” and uploaded a video of her two-year-old son enthusiastically singing “APT.” non-stop on his bed even after 8 p.m.
The post quickly gained traction on social media and online communities. To everyone’s surprise, Rosé herself responded with a joking comment.”Oh my God, I’m so sorry, ma’am,” adding to the buzz.
Released on October 18th as the first pre-release single from Rosé’s full-length album “rosie”, “APT”. was inspired by a drinking game. The song’s upbeat melody and repetitive lyrics have become irresistibly catchy.
Upon its release, “APT.” achieved a Perfect All Kill (PAK) on the Korean music charts, reached number one on the US Spotify chart, and dominated the iTunes charts in 40 regions. Additionally, it debuted at number 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100, setting a new record for a K-pop artist.
