Recently, at the '2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards' held in Los Angeles, Rosé won two categories: 'Best Collaboration' and 'K-POP Artist of the Year' for her duet song 'APT.' with Bruno Mars. The 'iHeartRadio Music Awards' is an award ceremony hosted by the largest online radio station in the US, iHeartRadio, since 2014, which selects and honors the most played songs and artists on iHeartRadio's stations and apps over the year. Rosé added another trophy to the unstoppable award rush of 'APT.' The duet song 'APT.' released in 2024 with Bruno Mars broke numerous records on music charts worldwide.

Additionally, she became the first and only K-POP artist to be nominated in both group and solo categories at the UK's prestigious 'Brit Awards,' achieving the honor of winning as well, further breaking great records in K-POP. As a result, Rosé accomplished the remarkable feat of achieving results at all major award ceremonies in the English-speaking world. Rosé plans to continue her diverse musical activities in 2026.
