Rosé of BLACKPINK raised a trophy at the BRIT Awards. On February 28 (local time), at the 46th BRIT Awards held in Manchester, England, Rosé won the International Song of the Year for her duet 'APT.' with Bruno Mars. The BRIT Awards is an authoritative award ceremony hosted by the British Record Industry Association, which has been held since 1977, where over 1,000 panelists, including radio and TV DJs, hosts, broadcasting executives, record company representatives, and journalists, vote to select nominees. Following her achievement as the first and only K-POP artist nominated for the BRIT Awards in both group and solo categories, she also received the honor of winning. Standing on stage, Rosé expressed her feelings about receiving such a wonderful award in front of such talented musicians. She also conveyed her love and gratitude to everyone she wanted to thank, including her mentor and close friend Bruno Mars, the BLACKPINK members who always inspire her, and producer TEDDY. The duet 'APT.' released in 2024 with Bruno Mars broke various records on music charts worldwide. At the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, one of the four major pop music award ceremonies in the U.S., she became the first K-POP artist to win the prestigious 'Song of the Year' award. She also achieved the first K-POP nominations for 'Song of the Year' and 'Record of the Year' at the Grammy Awards, the highest authority in American pop music. This shows that Rosé has achieved results at all the highest award ceremonies in the UK and the US, breaking barriers. BLACKPINK, to which Rosé belongs, recently released their 3rd mini-album 'DEADLINE,' marking a long-awaited comeback.
