Okay BLINKs, pause the stan timeline — Bruno Mars just gave Rosé some major love! After the 68th Grammy nominations dropped, Bruno posted to Instagram on November 7 to thank the Recording Academy and celebrate Rosé, captioning a photo of the two hugging: ‘Ayyye Thank You @recordingacademy @roses_are_rosie Look at that! ❤️’
‘APT.’ picked up three nominations at the 68th Grammy Awards, and this moment is huge: Rosé became the first K-pop singer to have a song nominated within the Grammys’ main six general field categories. The single was released on October 18, 2024 as her first solo single in three years and blew up worldwide — it climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, went viral, and won Song of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Quick fan facts:
- Rosé debuted as a member of BLACKPINK in 2016.
- Her earlier solo tracks include ‘On the Ground’ and ‘Gone’ (both from 2021).
- ‘APT.’ cleverly reimagines the Korean drinking game ‘apateu’ into an infectious pop hook.
- Bruno Mars is a multi-Grammy-winning artist who publicly celebrated Rosé on social media.
Seeing a global superstar like Bruno publicly hype Rosé feels like such a win — not just for her, but for K-pop getting bigger recognition on the awards stage. Celebrate time for Rosie and BLINKs everywhere!
