ZEROBASEONE’s Zhanghao Publicly Apologizes To BLACKPINK’s Rosé

ZEROBASEONE‘s Zhanghao recently panicked on live stream after he failed to recognize BLACKPINK Rosé‘s latest hit, “APT..”

The members had been chanting the crazily addictive song for days, leading Zhanghao to wonder what the phrase “apateu apateu” was about. When it popped up in his comments, he took the chance to ask fans what it meant. When he found out that it was a song by a huge sunbae, he immediately apologized to her for not recognizing the song. He looked stressed out as he wondered if he would have to retire from the industry.

In addition to playing the song immediately, Zhanghao did some damage control by participating in the “APT.” challenge with his groupmates.

Now that he’s proved that he’s actually the biggest BLINK, perhaps we can look forward to a collaboration with Rosé in the future!
