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.

NXNE 2026: Dan + Shay Dazzle an Intimate Crowd at Billboard Canada THE STAGE at The Opera House

The country duo's hit-filled set and strong rapport with the crowd made this show an NXNE highlight

It was quite a weekend for hitmaking American country duo Dan + Shay. It began on Friday when they sang the U.S. national anthem at the opening ceremony of the World Cup and concluded on Sunday night (June 14) with a triumphant Billboard Canada THE STAGE performance at the Opera House at NXNE in Toronto.

Given the Grammy-winning pair's status as a genuine arena act, their appearance at the more intimate Opera House gave the show a special air of occasion. Dan + Shay gave it their all, to rapturous response. Accompanied by eye-pleasing visuals on the screen behind and a clear sound mix, they delivered a set that featured their big hits, beginning with ''10,000 Hours,'' their smash collab with Justin Bieber, some newer material and a killer cover.
