Rosé and Bruno Mars will perform ‘APT.’ at the ‘2024 MAMA AWARDS’ on the 22nd.

Bruno Mars, a world-class pop star who needs no introduction, is an artist who has released many hit songs that will make you hum along with their titles alone, such as ‘Just the Way You Are’, ‘Marry You’, ‘Uptown Funk’, and ‘That’s What I Like’. He has also been active as a singer-songwriter and producer.

Rosé, who has established herself as a global artist beyond K-pop, has also achieved remarkable records as a solo artist, such as topping the Spotify chart and becoming the fastest K-pop female solo artist to reach 100 million streams. Expectations are high for her to tell more honest and intimate stories of her own through her first full-length album, ‘rosie’, which she participated in writing and composing all the songs on, out on Friday, December 6.

Meanwhile, Bruno Mars and Rosé worked together on the pre-released single ‘APT.’ ahead of Rosé‘s official comeback, and it is causing a sensation by sweeping not only the top of domestic music charts but also global charts such as the US Billboard chart and the UK Official Singles Chart.

In particular, the two expressed their gratitude and joy to their fans in a clever way through SNS after winning first place on Mnet’s ‘M Countdown’ with ’APT.‘. The upbeat melody and the sight of people enjoying ‘Apartment Game’ all over the world, as well as the music video full of witty visual beauty, have been greatly loved, so expectations are high for what kind of stage they will present at the ‘2024 MAMA AWARDS’.

Bruno Mars and Rosé‘s stage, which will further increase the heat of the ‘2024 MAMA AWARDS’, which is constantly being talked about, can be seen on Friday, November 22nd, the first chapter of which will be held at Kyocera Dome Osaka in Japan.

The ‘2024 MAMA AWARDS’ will be held at the Dolby Theater in LA, USA at 12 PM on Friday, November 22nd, Korean time, and Chapter 1 will begin with the red carpet at Kyocera Dome Osaka in Japan at 4 PM on the same day, the 22nd. Also, Chapter 2 on the 23rd (Sat) will have a red carpet at 13:00 and an awards ceremony at 15:00. The live broadcast of ‘2024 MAMA AWARDS’ can be viewed not only on Mnet, but also on YouTube channels Mnet K-POP and Mnet Plus.
