Just how successful was BLACKPINK Rosé‘s “APT” featuring Bruno Mars? Successful enough for even a two-year-old baby to know by heart, it seems.
In a now-mega-viral video with over 5M views shared by the mother, baby boy Dong Woo is up and wide awake in the middle of the night with an itch for K-Pop. While his mom sleeps, Dong Woo channels his inner superstar and sings the iconic “apateu apateu.”
Posting this video on my feed, too: Look at my son possessed by ‘APT.’
Dear Rosé… and Bruno Mars… Please help my son who sings ‘APT’ all day every day from the second he wakes up until he falls asleep. He’s addicted… 😂 #APT#TwoYearOld#Baby#APTChallenge

Between his hands being uncontrollably thrown in the air and the almost-mystical steam raining down on him from the humidifier, some joked that Dong Woo was working with the spirits above to manifest an apartment for himself.
The performance has since left Koreans—including Rosé herself—completely mesmerized.
- “Are you actually sleeping or are you pretending not to hear? This is so fricking funny and cute.”
- “What if that’s him asking you to buy him an apartment?”
- “Just give him the apartment…”
- “Looks like he’s doing a solo protest to move into an apartment, LOL. How adorable.”
- “LOL. The steam makes it look like he’s actually connecting with the spirits or something. This is so cute and funny!”
- “Yo, I thought he was casting a spell or something and the apartment ceiling was coming down.”
Under the video, Rosé playfully apologized for “possessing” Dong Woo with the addictive song:
Oh gosh, I’m sorry ma’am…
