Singer Rosé appeared as the first guest at Psy's '2025 Summer Swag' concert.
On the afternoon of the 28th, the 'Psy Summer Swag 2025' tour concert was held at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium located in Yeonhui-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon.
Before the eighth stage, Psy said, "I am a singer and also a songwriter. Sometimes I hear songs from my fellow artists and think they are really good," and introduced the next stage by saying, "This song is one of those songs."
As the familiar melody filled the venue, the audience cheered loudly. It was Rosé's 'Apartment' that unfolded. Psy joined Rosé to complete the 'Apartment' stage during the Bruno Mars part. The audience's reaction was unprecedented as they witnessed the meeting of two global stars: Psy, who swept the American Billboard charts with 'Gangnam Style' in 2012, and Rosé, who recently made her mark on the Billboard charts with 'Apartment.'
After finishing the stage, Rosé left without any further comments, prompting the audience to chant for an encore. Upon returning to the stage, Rosé expressed, "I was so happy to be invited to the 'Summer Swag' that I had only heard about in my imagination. I wanted to say thank you for loving the songs from my album released last year," and she gave a deep bow.
She continued, "I worked hard on preparing the album, and your love gave me strength. I debuted at 20 and received great love as part of BLACKPINK. I included many experiences in the album, but it still feels difficult. There are many things I don't know, and I still get hurt," sharing her honest feelings.
Rosé, who said, "I guess that's life," added, "I hope you all dance all night today," and presented additional stages including 'Toxic till the end' as she bid farewell to the audience.
The 'Psy Summer Swag 2025' concert will be held in a total of 9 cities, including Uijeongbu, Daejeon, Gwacheon, Sokcho, Suwon, Daegu, Busan, and Gwangju, with 16 performances starting from this concert.
The 'Psy Summer Swag' is Psy's representative summer concert brand, boasting a setlist and dynamic production that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, achieving the number one ticket sales and sold-out records at every event, receiving much love.
Psy has proven his status as a 'master of performances' by surpassing limits every year. With his unique stage presence and overflowing passion, he provides the audience with delightful energy and is currently preparing to soak the nation this year.
