BLACKPINK's Rosé continues her streak at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a third consecutive week with her collaboration single "APT." (Apartment) featuring pop star Bruno Mars.

According to the latest chart released on the 20th (local time), "APT." ranks at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated November 23, 2024, marking its fourth week in the upper ranks.

Additionally, "APT." holds the No. 1 spot on both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts for the same period.

Previously, "APT." debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated November 2, 2024. It also claimed the No. 2 spot on Billboard’s Most-Streamed Songs chart for that week and secured the top position on both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts.

Since then, the track has demonstrated remarkable longevity: ranking No. 13 in its second week, No. 15 in its third week, and climbing back to No. 13 in its fourth week.

Released worldwide on November 18, "APT." draws inspiration from the Korean drinking game "Apartment Game." The song features a lively teen rock sound that blends seamlessly with the dynamic vocal chemistry between Rosé and Bruno Mars.

It has sparked various challenges across platforms like Instagram and TikTok. The creative fusion of the playful drinking game with K-pop elements, combined with the collaboration with global pop icon Bruno Mars, has led to outstanding chart performances, according to analysts.

"APT." has already made significant achievements, debuting at No. 1 on Spotify’s U.S. chart and surpassing 100 million streams in record time. Its official music video also crossed 100 million views just five days after release.

Additionally, the song topped iTunes charts in 40 regions and reached No. 4 on the UK Official Chart, continuing its record-breaking streak even before its Billboard Hot 100 debut.

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.
