Popular Singer Earns First-Ever Korean Music Show Win 14 Years After Debut

It’s part of a popular collab.

Recently, BLACKPINK‘s Rosé released her new hit single “APT.” with Bruno Mars.

The 39-year-old Hawaiian singer-songwriter has been performing since he was 3 years old, doing impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. In 2003, he moved to L.A. to pursue a music career and began getting recognition for producing and writing songs for popular music artists. Finally, in 2010, he debuted as a solo artist with EP Doo-Wops & Hooligans. Songs “Just the Way You Are,” “The Lazy Song,” and “Nothin’ on You” shot him to fame.

While Bruno Mars has received many accolades, including 15 Grammy Awards, he has now earned his first-ever Korean music show win. On Mnet‘s M COUNTDOWN, Rose’s “APT.,” featuring Bruno Mars, won, beating SEVENTEEN‘s “LOVE, MONEY, FAME (feat. DJ Khaled).”

Rosé congratulated Bruno Mars via her Instagram Stories.

While promoting “APT.,” Bruno Mars has teased that he is in his “oppa era.”
