BLACKPINK's Rosé Shatters Records: 'APT.' MV Surpasses 2 Billion Views

BLACKPINK member Rosé continues to make history in K-pop. The music video for her duet track 'APT.' with global superstar Bruno Mars has officially surpassed 2 billion views on YouTube, setting a new record for the fastest K-pop music video to reach this milestone.

This remarkable achievement comes approximately 335 days after its initial release on October 18th of last year. With this, Rosé now boasts a third music video with over 2 billion views, following BLACKPINK's massive hits 'DDU-DU DDU-DU' and 'Kill This Love.'

What makes this feat even more extraordinary is that Rosé is now the first and only K-pop artist to have music videos exceeding 2 billion views from both her group activities and her solo career. 'APT.', a pre-release single from her debut album 'rosie' released in December, sparked a global phenomenon immediately upon its release, topping charts both domestically and internationally.

The song also demonstrated incredible resilience, charting a remarkable comeback on the Billboard charts after the holiday season. Rosé was recently recognized by TIME magazine as one of the '100 Most Influential People of 2025' and achieved a historic win for a K-pop artist at the '2025 MTV Video Music Awards,' taking home the coveted 'Song of the Year' award.

Beyond her work with BLACKPINK, Rosé consistently engages in diverse global collaborations, solidifying her status as a solo artist. Her distinctive vocal color and exceptional performance skills have earned her widespread adoration from fans worldwide. Rosé is currently on BLACKPINK's world tour, 'DEADLINE,' connecting with audiences globally.
