BLACKPINK member Rosé has opened up about her new single with Bruno Mars and the interesting story behind it.

On October 18, Rosé released her latest song, “APT. (ROSÉ & Bruno Mars),” along with a vibrant music video. This track is part of her upcoming solo album, rosie, which is set to drop on December 6.

In a recent interview with Vogue, Rosé shared that the song was inspired by her favorite Korean drinking game called “Apartment.” She recalled, “I remember coming home from the studio and thinking, ‘Is it okay that I wrote a song about a drinking game?’”

This led her to feel unsure about the song's theme, and she even asked her team to delete it from her phone. But they loved it so much that they couldn’t let it go!

Rosé highlighted how much fun the drinking game is, saying, “It’s simple, fun, and perfect for creating a lively atmosphere.”

She explained that while working in the studio with her team, she shared the game rules, which made everyone excited and inspired her to write the song. Bruno Mars joined the project later, adding his magic to the final version.

The collaboration with Bruno Mars brought an exciting touch to the track, making it even more special. He not only helped create the song but also appeared in the music video, which fans are loving.

Rosé’s debut album, rosie, will feature 12 tracks, including the title song. She wrote and composed all the songs herself, sharing her personal and heartfelt stories.

Since debuting as BLACKPINK's main vocalist in 2016, Rosé has achieved great success with her group. Along with Jennie, Lisa, and Jisoo, they’ve topped charts around the world and built a strong reputation in K-pop. Recently, she signed with The Black Label and Atlantic Records, setting the stage for her solo career.

In 2021, Rosé made her solo debut with the single “R,” and the title track “On The Ground” hit number one on the Billboard Global 200, making history for K-pop female artists.

As she reflects on her journey, Rosé's thoughts about her new song reveal her desire to stay true to herself while also embracing the fun and excitement of her music. It seems that even with doubts, she’s ready to share her stories and connect with her fans in a whole new way!

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
