Rosé and Bruno Mars won the Global Sensation trophy at the 2024 MAMA Awards — which wasn't surprising, given how their collaboration song "APT." created such a massive impact and virality. As they went up on stage to give their acceptance speech, the duo sparked hilarity for their adorable friendship.
On the night of November 22, Rosé and Bruno Mars graced the MAMA Awards stage to express their gratitude to fans upon receiving the award. The BLACKPINK member was the first to speak (in Korean), introducing herself despite being a global star, and giving the fans a dulcet chuckle amid the audience's cheers.
Rosé then shared a bit of backstory about "APT.", saying that she didn't expect it to be huge.
"The song began with a drinking game, and I never expected it to be loved this much. I'm so thankful for the love that it has received," she said, then turned to Mars and told him in English, "Thank you, Bruno, for everything. But really, you're the best."
The "Moonshine" singer was also mumbling his thanks to Rosé while she did the same. Then, she finally gave him the spotlight.
"But you, Bruno, do you want to say something?" Rosé asked, giggling, and the spectators' cheers were louder when Mars said:
"Kamsahamnida."
He quickly turned his back on the podium while Rosé audibly chuckled, then faced the audience again to give them a flying kiss.
They ended their speech by saying "Kamsahamnida" in unison, and by "clinking" their trophies as if they were shot glasses.
The cheers echoed while they made their exit, and soon after, fans took to social media to say that they found the moment between Rosé and Mars awkward but absolutely adorable. Some also admired the duo's friendship, and even wished for another collab. A few also lowkey wished they are dating.
Meanwhile, Rosé and Mars performed their megahit collaborative song "APT." during the 2024 MAMA Awards' Day 2. The two showcased synergy and bond as close friends during their performance, earning praises from K-pop fans.
These are how fans reaction to the duo during the 2024 MAMA Awards:
- "I think the sweetest part about this is the fact that Bruno probably went with Rosie because he knew she'd be uncomfortable just going for it alone, so he accompanied her all the way to this random ass building just to collect the award... like he's really sweet to her"
- "I love my parents"
- "they're so cute and awkward"
- "best speech in the history of speeches i'm proud of rosé, they're so cute"
- "i hope they're dating"
- "THIS WAS SO FUN TO WATCH AHAHAHAHA"
Further, Rosé released her newest single "Number One Girl" on November 22. It was also co-produced by Mars.
