"Thanks to Rosé, I've paid off my debts."
Pop star Bruno Mars caught attention with his cheerful remark expressing gratitude to Rosé (BLACKPINK), who sang "Apartment" with him.
BLACKPINK successfully completed their world tour 'Deadline' at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, USA, on the 12th and 13th (local time). Notably, Bruno Mars made a surprise guest appearance on the 13th, performing the global hit "Apartment" with Rosé, thrilling the audience.
After the performance, Rosé said, "I was happy to share the stage with Bruno," and added, "I hope you all enjoyed the show."
Later, Bruno Mars also posted a clip of their performance on his social media on the 15th, leaving a cheerful comment: "Almost out of debt BehhhhhBehhhhh!!! Preciate You ROSAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!" To this, Rosé cleverly replied, "You're welcome," showcasing their unique chemistry.
Bruno Mars' comment is interpreted as a joke aimed at the gambling debt rumors that surfaced last year.
At that time, local media such as News Nation reported that Bruno Mars had visited the MGM Grand Casino to gamble and ended up with a debt of $50 million (approximately 67 billion KRW). The casino later stated that it was "a completely false claim," and the controversy was settled.
Bruno Mars and Rosé's "Apartment," released in October last year, debuted at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has now charted for 38 consecutive weeks, establishing itself as a global hit song.
"Apartment" is inspired by the widely known "Apartment Game" in Korea. It is a track from Rosé's solo debut album "Rosie," featuring an addictive chorus of "Apartment, apartment~" that has gained worldwide popularity.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK released their new digital single "Run" on the 11th. The song is enjoying popularity, having topped the iTunes charts in 60 regions. The group is currently on a North American tour, having completed their concert in Seoul, and will meet fans worldwide in Barcelona, London, Kaohsiung, Singapore, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.
