"Rosé from Blackpink just secured a massive win for K-pop. The New Zealand and South Korean singer won the "Song of the Year" award at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, for her song "APT" with Bruno Mars. "APT," the lead single from Rosé's debut album in 2024, "Rosie," became a hit for its catchy tune and playful lyrics about a Korean drinking game. It spent 15 weeks at the top of the Billboard Global excluding the US chart."
"Rosé, whose real name is Roseanne Park, was visibly emotional when she accepted the award. Through tears, she thanked Mars, whom she called her "absolute idol," for believing in her and helping her through the collaboration. "I dedicate this award to my 16-year-old self, who dreamed, and to all those who have watched me grow into the artist that I am today, and placed their dreams in me to make this change," she said in her acceptance speech."
