On December 6th, globally recognized group TWICE and BLACKPINK’s Rosé will make simultaneous comebacks, capturing the attention of fans worldwide. Both teams are incredibly popular not just in Korea but across the globe, making this comeback a particularly noteworthy competition.
Firstly, TWICE became the first K-pop artist to appear on the U.S. ‘Amazon Music Live’ on the 21st of last month, where they performed a solo concert. The performance recorded the highest number of viewers in history, solidifying TWICE’s position in the United States. ‘Amazon Music Live’ is a streaming concert series broadcast after National Football League games in the U.S., featuring famous artists like Ed Sheeran, A$AP Rocky, and Megan Thee Stallion.
Meanwhile, Rosé achieved unprecedented success with her pre-release single ‘Apartment.’ Upon release, ‘Apartment’ topped the Spotify U.S. chart and ranked first on iTunes charts in 40 regions. Additionally, it also claimed the top spot on China’s leading music site, QQ Music, making a significant impact across the Americas and Asia. Rosé set a record as the first female K-pop solo artist to reach number one on Spotify U.S. and broke the record for the fastest 100 million streams on Spotify in just seven days.
Bruno Mars played a significant role in Rosé’s success through collaboration. Bruno Mars, the singer-songwriter with the most Billboard number ones since Elvis Presley, participated in producing Rosé’s ‘Apartment’ and her second pre-release song ‘Number One Girl.’ Recently, Rosé shared detailed experiences of collaborating with Bruno Mars on an American radio show in New York, offering fans fascinating stories.
Furthermore, Rosé is set to open a pop-up store for her new album ‘Rozy’ at The Hyundai in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, from the 5th to the 11th, providing a special experience for domestic and international fans. Cultural critic Kim HeonSik remarked, “TWICE and Rosé possess unique value in the American market with their Oriental charm and girl-crush image,” forecasting that their continuous activities and artistry will serve as significant advantages not only in Korea but also in the U.S.
Global fans remain eagerly anticipating how their journeys will unfold.
