Released on October 18 at 1 p.m. KST, it achieved this feat in just over a month—16 days and 21 hours, to be exact.
This isn’t just another milestone. “APT.” now holds the title of the fastest K-pop music video to reach 500 million views, surpassing all previous records. It also clinched the record for the fastest female K-pop video to hit 400 million views, cementing its status as a global phenomenon.
About Rosé: A Star Who Shines Brighter Each Day
Born in New Zealand and raised in Australia, Rosé joined YG Entertainment in 2012 after a standout audition. After four years of training, she debuted with BLACKPINK in August 2016, and her rise has been meteoric ever since.
In March 2021, her debut single album R shattered records, with 448,089 copies sold in its first week—an unprecedented achievement for a Korean female soloist. The lead track, “On the Ground,” catapulted Rosé to historic success, making her the first artist to top the Billboard Global 200 as both a soloist and a group member.
Now, with APT., Rosé has reached new heights. Co-written and performed with Bruno Mars, the track is part of her debut studio album, Rosie (2024). It’s already a chart-topper, reaching number one on South Korea’s Circle Digital Chart and dominating globally. APT. marked her entry into the US Billboard Hot 100 top 10 and the UK Singles Chart’s top 10, while also securing her place as the first K-pop female soloist to top Australia’s ARIA Singles Chart.
Rosé’s impact transcends the stage. She’s a global ambassador for Yves Saint Laurent and a trailblazer in fashion, becoming one of the first female K-pop idols to attend the prestigious Met Gala. Her accolades include two Guinness World Records and numerous awards, with Rolling Stone recognizing her as a living icon from Australia and New Zealand.
With “APT.” and a career studded with achievements, Rosé proves once again why she’s a force to be reckoned with in the global music industry.
