Bruno Mars 'feasts' with Rosé, saves words, becomes MAMA icon?

The audience joked that Bruno Mars had the shortest acceptance speech in history at the 2024 MAMA awards ceremony, but it was extremely impressive and humorous. The 2024 MAMA Korean music awards ceremony is currently the most popular topic among Kpop fans.

At the first awards night held in Osaka (Japan) on the evening of November 22, the appearance of Rosé and Bruno Mars was considered the brightest highlight.

Bruno Mars had never attended any Korean music awards ceremony before MAMA. Meanwhile, the Blackpink member had never attended the MAMA awards ceremony in his 8 years of working.

Rosé and Bruno Mars did not walk the red carpet, but as soon as they appeared in the guest seats, the couple's image quickly flooded social media. The song "APT." was not nominated for the main categories of this year's MAMA, due to being released after the deadline (the song was released on October 18, 2024).

However, the 2024 MAMA organizers still awarded a subsidiary award, recognizing the global influence of Rosé and Bruno Mars with the hit "APT.", which is the Global Sensation award. The moment the two artists received the award caused a stir on social media.

While on stage, Bruno Mars and Rosé performed a "clinking" action with the trophy in their hands, similar to the drinking game content in the song "APT."

Rosé said: "Hello, I'm Rosé. First of all, I wrote this song for fun because drinking games are my favorite game, I didn't expect so many people to love the song. I'm so grateful that everyone likes it. Thank you Bruno for everything, you're the best."

Bruno Mars then stepped up to the mic and said in Korean, "Kamsahamnida" (Thank you!). The American artist only said a short thank you, but it immediately caused the venue to explode. The artists in attendance all expressed their excitement at his Korean statement.

On online communities, Korean audiences also expressed their love and excitement for the famous pop star's short speech during his first time attending MAMA.

Korean audiences commented: "The shortest speech in history, but very impressive", "Love the way Bruno practiced Korean", "Why is Bruno so cute?", "Both are cute", "Can I live to see the day when Bruno Mars attends MAMA and says thank you in Korean?", "So funny".

Also at MAMA 2024, the song "APT." was released to the audience for the first time in a performance video. However, many people were disappointed because Rosé and Bruno Mars did not perform live and only had a pre-recorded video.

As for Bruno Mars, he has continued to achieve success and set records when collaborating with Rosé (Blackpink) and Lady Gaga. American pop star Bruno Mars has sent his compliments and gratitude to his collaborators in his two latest music products, Rosé (Blackpink) in "APT." and Lady Gaga in "Die With A Smile". Bruno Mars wrote on Insta: "My girls, Lady Gaga and Rosé are making history".

Along with that, he shared the achievement of "Die With A Smile" reaching 1 billion streams on Spotify in record time, and "APT." topping the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart.

"Die With A Smile" (released August 16, 2024) became the fastest song to reach 1 billion streams in Spotify history, after 96 days, beating the song "Seven" by Jungkook (BTS) featuring Latto, which reached 1 billion streams after 108 days. At the same time, "Die With A Smile" surpassed the achievements of many songs by other European and American artists such as "Flowers" by Miley Cyrus (112 days), "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter (117 days).

Meanwhile, "APT." (released October 18, 2024) is the first song by a Western artist to top the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart this decade, and one of only five songs by a Western artist to reach number one in history.

Rosé is also the first female Kpop solo artist to reach the Top 1 of Billboard Japan Hot 100. Japan - the world's second largest music market - favors domestic artists and Japanese songs, so it is difficult for an English song to take over the Top 1 of the Billboard chart in Japan.
