*Apateu, Apateu, Apateu, Apateu!*

*APT* sung in Korean and English. has hung for ten weeks at the top of the Billboard Global 200 chart and on the Billboard Hot 100 chart it has hurtled into the top five.

Four years of training for a girl band

27-year-old Rosé has tasted success in the field of K-pop before – in fact, one can talk about a long-term star.

In 2016, Rosé was chosen as a member of the most popular Korean girl group of all time, Blackpink.

This was preceded by a four-year intensive training period organized by the entertainment giant YG Entertainment. Blackpink’s international breakthrough happened in 2018 and currently has almost 96 million followers on YouTube.

Despite her solo career starting in 2021, Rosé is still a member of Blackpink, and the band’s other singers have also been soloing at a brisk pace.

The solo production of the group members is not the handiwork of YG Entertainment. For example, Rosé’s *Rosie* album is behind The Black Label, which is owned by YG Entertainment.

Clues about the collaboration between Bruno Mars, who is also known as a music producer, and Rosé began to trickle out last year with pictures published on social media.

Rosé, who has a Korean background, was born in New Zealand, from where she moved to Australia with her family when she was 7 years old. His international career took off when the artist traveled to Seoul, South Korea.

The background of the retro, 1980s punk pop-influenced *APT.* song is the popular Korean drinking game of the same name.

The song’s Korean *apateu* hokema refers to a drinking game. The word *apateu* is the Korean equivalent of the English *apartment*.

– I remember when I turned 20. Me and the other members of Blackpink grabbed all the alcohol we could get. We believe that we are drinking now, because in South Korea 20 is the legal age to consume alcohol. We played drinking games and APT was one of them, Rosé recalled her experiences with Korean drinking games on the Jimmy Fallon Show a month ago.

A shot glass set related to the song *APT*. is currently being marketed online. *APT.* seems to have taken over the entire American continent anyway.
