Eom Ji-yoon and Kwak Bum parodied the duet song ‘APT.’ by Rosé and Bruno Mars.
On the 30th, Eom Ji-yoon posted a photo with the caption “Reconstruction APT.” on her Instagram. The photos show Eom Ji-yoon and Kwak Bum perfectly copying the outfits and hair and makeup that Rosé and Bruno Mars wore when filming the ‘APT.’ music video.
Earlier, a parody video of the ‘APT.’ music video was also released on the YouTube channel ‘Bbangsongguk’, run by Kwak Bum and Lee Chang-ho, titled ‘ROZÉM & Bruzi Mar - jaegunchuk APT. (not Official Music Video)’. The funny expressions such as no-fun and Bruzi-ma caught the eye. Moreover, the two people in the video drew attention for perfectly playing the roles of Rosé and Bruno Mars.
Once the photos and video were released, netizens showed interesting reactions such as, “The quality is crazy”, “What‘s going on with the synchronization?”, and “I guess the price of ash skyrocketed during the reconstruction.”
Meanwhile, Rosé’s pre-released single ‘APT.’ is continuing its syndrome-level run, entering the 8th place on the US Billboard main single chart ‘HOT 100’.
In particular, ‘APT.’, which Rosé directly participated in, is a song inspired by the ‘Apartment Game’, which is widely known in Korea. Rosé said, ““’Apartment Game’ is a game I really like. It‘s simple, fun, and perfect for livening up the mood. One night, I was working on a song after showing the staff I was working with in the studio how to play the game and watching them all having fun. Bruno Mars joined and that’s how the song was completed.”
