ROSÉ of BLACKPINK Teams Up With Coldplay for Surprise ‘APT.’ Duet in Seoul
The band is performing a total of six nights at Goyang Stadium.

ROSÉ is meeting Coldplay at the “APT.” At the rock band’s concert in Seoul, South Korea, on Tuesday night (April 22), the BLACKPINK star made a surprise guest appearance to perform her smash hit single for thousands of fans at Goyang Stadium.
In a clip posted by both ROSÉ and the “Fix You” band, the K-pop idol rocks a sparkly silver jacket while skipping down the catwalk of Coldplay’s stage, belting out the uber catchy lyrics to “APT.” She then turns around to watch as frontman Chris Martin takes over on the second verse, which is typically performed by ROSÉ’s collaborator on the track, Bruno Mars.
“It’s whatever, it’s whatever, it’s whatever you like,” the English singer-songwriter raps as ROSÉ smiles and fans in the crowd sing along. “Turn this ‘apt’ into a club.”
Released in October, “APT.” made ROSÉ a bona fide crossover star as a soloist amid BLACKPINK’s hiatus. The hit — which appears on her debut studio album, Rosie — reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent 12 weeks atop the Billboard Global 200.
Tuesday’s performance marks the fourth of six nights at Goyang for Coldplay, which is in the midst of its years-long Music of the Spheres Tour. Girl group TWICE is opening for the band during its stint in South Korea, and the two acts joined forces on stage on opening night April 16 to perform a revamped version of “We Pray.” Shortly after the show, they released an official version of the collaboration on streaming services.
