"APT" by BLACKPINK's Rosé and Bruno Mars Said To Be Banned During the CSAT

An interesting phenomenon is taking place over BLACKPINK Rosé's "APT" that has hit the world.

Rosé released her new song "APT" on the 18th. "APT," which Rosé wrote and composed, was conceived from Rosé's usual drinking game. World-renowned pop star Bruno Mars participated in the song from Rosé's full-length album "rosie," which will be released in December.

"APT," which has an impressive simple melody and addictive chorus, received a lot of love right after its release and surpassed 100 million views in the music video within five days of its release. It is expected to surpass 200 million views soon. It also swept the world's attention, topping not only domestic music charts but also Spotify's U.S. charts and topping 40 regions in iTunes. Based on its popularity, it entered the U.K. official chart "TOP 100" at No. 4 and is expected to be in the top 100 of Billboard's main single chart.

An impressive part of the "APT" craze is that it is attracting interest in Korean culture beyond songs. Since the release of "APT," more and more foreigners have expressed interest in the overall Korean alcohol culture, which have been the subject of songs. Rosé also showed keen interest in "Somaek," which she made on YouTube, Cheongyang Mayo sauce accompanied by dried squid, and kimchi stir-fried chestnuts.

Even though they are receiving so much love, some people desperately try not to listen to "APT." These are test takers who are just around the corner of the CSAT. "APT," which leaves a strong addictive feeling in the head with repeated melodies, is the greatest enemy for test takers who are about to take the test in their lifetime. That is why test takers are determined to stay away from the song as much as possible until the CSAT.

'APT' is one of the hottest songs in the world at this time.
