In a surprising confession during a Vogue YouTube interview, BLACKPINK’s Rosé revealed that she had a major argument with Bruno Mars just moments before shooting the music video for their hit collaboration “APT.”

During the light-hearted Q&A filmed at a restaurant in New York City, Rosé was asked to share something “no one knows” about her experience working with the pop icon. Laughing nervously, she responded, “I don’t know if I should say this, but… we had a big fight right before filming the MV.”

Although she didn’t disclose specific details, she quickly assured fans, “But we made up on set, so it was okay… He’s going to kill me for this!” She blew a playful kiss toward the camera and added, “Let’s not fight again. Let’s stay friends.”

Rosé’s unexpected reveal sent fans into a frenzy, with many rushing to rewatch the “APT.” music video in search of signs of the spat. One widely discussed moment comes around the 0:35 mark, where Rosé drapes her arm around Bruno Mars and sings passionately, while Bruno Mars gazes into the camera with a tight-lipped, almost annoyed expression.

“He looks like he’s trying not to laugh or yell,” one fan joked on social media. Another wrote, “They had that ‘siblings-just-had-a-fight-but-have-to-smile-in-family-photo’ energy.”

The intro: "채영이가 좋아하는 랜덤 게임 / 랜덤 게임" translates to "Chaeyoung's favorite random game / Random game". Chaeyoung is Rosé's Korean name. Bruno also sings, "건배, 건배" which means "cheers, cheers" in English.

The playful speculation continued across fan forums, with others describing the vibe as “mad-at-each-other-but-still-cute,” further fueling the buzz around their fiery dynamic.

Despite the behind-the-scenes tension, “APT.” has become one of the most successful K-pop collaborations of all time. The song, which serves as the title track for Rosé’s solo album “Rosie” released in 2024, surpassed 2 billion views on YouTube in just 10 months, and hit 1 billion streams on Spotify faster than any other K-pop track to date.
This milestone came just after Rosé made history as the first Korean artist to win “Song of the Year” at the MTV VMAs with “APT.”

The Vogue interview wasn’t all about drama. Rosé also shared quirky details about her life: her favorite scent is her dog Hank’s paws, and she draws songwriting inspiration from “mean boys.” She mentioned her ongoing struggle to become a morning person and revealed her childhood dream was to become an elementary school art teacher.

When asked what she’d tell her 18-year-old self, Rosé replied sincerely, “Keep going. It’ll take you to a good place.”
