BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ delighted fans with an unexpected appearance during Coldplay’s concert in Seoul, South Korea, on Tuesday 22 April, performing her viral hit with Bruno Mars, “APT.” live for thousands at Goyang Stadium.

The BLACKPINK member joined the British rock band on stage during the fourth night of their Music of the Spheres Tour.

In a video shared by both ROSÉ and Coldplay, the singer can be seen strutting confidently down the stage runway in a shimmering silver jacket, leading the crowd in singing the catchy lyrics of her chart-topping solo.

The energy soared even higher when frontman Chris Martin took over the second verse, usually performed by Bruno Mars, rapping, “It’s whatever, it’s whatever, it’s whatever you like. Turn this ‘apt’ into a club,” as ROSÉ beamed beside him.

Originally released in October, “APT.” became a global success for ROSÉ, earning her a No. 3 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and dominating the Billboard Global 200 for 12 weeks. It appears on her debut solo album Rosie, launched during BLACKPINK’s group hiatus.

The Seoul concert was part of a six-night run at Goyang Stadium.

Girl group TWICE opened Coldplay’s shows in Korea and even collaborated with the band on a new version of “We Pray,” which they performed together on 16 April and later released officially.

Coldplay has welcomed several high-profile guests during their Asia tour, including BTS’s JIN and singer Elyanna.
