Rosé from BLACKPINK and Bruno Mars just made music history at the VMAs. She and Bruno Mars won Song of the Year for their hit “APT.” marking the first time a K-pop artist ever won this major award. Rosé accepted the honor alone in a beautiful gold dress and her emotional speech touched everyone watching. 

The winning song “APT.” became a global phenomenon after its release last year. Interestingly the song was inspired by a Korean drinking game called “apateu.” Rosé initially thought the concept might be too silly but her production team loved it. She invited Bruno Mars to collaborate and they created a perfect pop track. The song spent forty five consecutive weeks on music charts and this victory shows how music can blend different cultures into something magical.
