A song, a child, a viral clip.
How successful it was BLACKPINK RoséThe presentation of “APT” by Bruno Mars? It seems to be successful enough that even a two-year-old can know it by heart.
In a now mega viral video with over 5 million views shared by the mother, the child Dong Woo he’s awake and wide awake in the middle of the night with a craving for K-Pop. While his mother sleeps, Dong Woo channels his inner superstar and sings the iconic song “Apathetic apathetic.”
I also post this video on my feed: Look at my son possessed from ‘APT.’
Dear Rosé… and Bruno Mars… Please help my son who sings “APT” all day every day from the moment he wakes up until he falls asleep. He’s addicted… 😂 #APT#TwoYearOld#Baby#APTChallenge
— Dong Woo’s mother
Between his hands flung uncontrollably in the air and the almost mystical steam raining down on him from the humidifier, some joked that Dong Woo was working with higher spirits to create an apartment for himself.
The performance has since left Koreans, including Rosé herself, completely spellbound.
- “Are you really sleeping or are you pretending not to hear? It’s so damn funny and cute.
- “What if he’s the one asking you to buy him an apartment?”
- “Just give him the apartment…”
- “Looks like he’s doing a solo protest to move into an apartment, LOL. How adorable.”
- “LOL. The steam makes it look like you’re actually connecting with spirits or something. It’s so cute and fun!”
- “Hey, I thought he was casting a spell or something and the ceiling of the apartment was collapsing.”
Below the video, Rosé jokingly apologizes “to possess” Dong Woo with the addictive song:
Oh God, I’m sorry ma’am…
– Rose
