On November 14, Star News reported that female idol Rose (Blackpink) participated in the recording of tvN's popular entertainment show "You Quiz on the Block" on November 13.
Rose was the first Blackpink member to appear on “You Quiz on the Block.” Rose reportedly shared various stories with MC duo Yoo Jae Suk and Jo Se Ho, while looking back on her activities as a Blackpink member and as a solo artist, as this year marks the ninth anniversary of her debut.
In particular, Rose is causing a global fever with the song "APT." featuring pop star Bruno Mars, released on the 18th of last month. Therefore, Kpop fans' expectations for Rose's appearance on the show of "national MC" Yoo Jae Suk are very high.
Recently, Yoo Jae Suk also mentioned the success of “APT.” and praised Rose on the show “Whenever Possible.” The male MC was curious about the “huge” income from music copyrights that Rose received for “APT.”, as she participated in the song’s composition and lyrics writing process.
Yoo Jae Suk revealed that he participated in writing the lyrics for a hit song in 2011 and still receives royalties regularly to this day. He was curious to know how much money Rose will earn with a globally successful song like “APT.”
Also on the afternoon of November 14, Ten Asia reported that Rose will be participating in KBS 2TV's "The Seasons: Rainbow", hosted by singer Lee Young Ji. The Blackpink singer is preparing a special stage for this program.
According to Ten Asia, Rose returned to Korea on November 12 and began domestic promotions after completing her music and activities in the United States. The singer is expected to have a busy schedule to meet domestic fans.
Rose's first full-length album of 12 songs titled "rosie" will be released on December 6, 2024.
The success of the pre-release track “APT.” created favorable conditions for Rose before the official album release.
Rose has now surpassed BTS to hold the record for the K-pop artist with the most monthly listeners on Spotify, with 51.4 million listeners as of November 13.
“APT.” has remained at No. 1 on the Apple Music global chart for 21 days, something no other K-pop song has ever done.
The song currently has 3 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, 3 consecutive weeks at the Top 1 of two global Billboard charts, Global 200 and Global Excl. US. (outside the US).
