Rosé (BLACKPINK) appeared at Tao Quan 2025 in a shocking way, coming to Vietnam in an unexpected way

Throughout its broadcast journey, Tao Quan has always used music as a highlight material, creating a special impression to convey the message. For many years, the remixed music (rewritten lyrics) for hits on Tao Quan has caused a storm on social networks after being broadcast.

Music (remixes) go beyond its role, becoming a part of the Tao Quan brand. The most famous songs in Tao Quan include, Flood from the crossroads (rewriting the lyrics of the song From a crossroads), Not just anyone (rewriting the lyrics of the song of the same name by Son Tung M-TP), Big Kinh te Boi (rewriting the lyrics of Binz's hit Big City Boy)...

This year, music continued to show its power at Tao Quan 2025, in which 2 big hits from 2024 were used. The audience was surprised to see " APT." by Rosé Blackpink and Bruno Mars in a new look.

Accordingly, the familiar chorus of this super hit was humorously performed in the competition of young talents at Thien Dinh. In addition to "APT.", the hit song "Tai Sinh" by singer Tung Duong that is "making waves" also had a special, humorous performance at Tao Quan this year.

"Rebirth" was written by Tang Duy Tan for Tung Duong's voice. "Rebirth" caused such a stir that it was even said to be about "the third party" and "green tea", as the lyrics praise love with hidden meanings like, "rebirth from the ashes of love".

Musician Tang Duy Tan himself had to speak up to explain, stating that he wrote about love with all the purity. The musician himself is not married, and "Mr. Tung Duong would never dare". Tang Duy Tan affirmed that "Rebirth" is a song about pure love, without any other message as the public is speculating.

"APT." (short for Apartment) is a song from Rosé's debut studio album Rosie. The song was released as the lead single for the release of the album Rosie. "APT." is a special collaboration between Rosé Blackpink and Bruno Mars, their popularity along with the song's cheerful melody has dominated all music charts as well as music awards ceremonies in 2024.

According to Soompi, at around 4 a.m. on January 19, the MV "APT." by Rosé (Blackpink) and Bruno Mars surpassed 900 million views on YouTube, after 92 days and 15 hours of release, since October 18, 2024.

"APT." is now the fastest K-pop music video to reach 900 million views on YouTube, breaking the previous record of 144 days set by PSY's "Gangnam Style" in 2012.

"APT." also became the fifth fastest music video to reach this milestone in the world, behind Adele's "Hello," Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You," Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," and J Balvin and Willy William's "Mi Gente." The song also broke the record on the US's Official Singles Chart.

Last week, “APT.” debuted at No. 2 on the chart. Not only does “APT” hold the record for the highest ranking by a female K-pop artist, it’s also the first K-pop song to stay in the Top 5 for 12 weeks and the first song to stay in the Top 2 of the chart for four weeks.

Also recently, the hit "APT" by Rosé and Bruno Mars continued to maintain its form when it firmly occupied the 5th position on the Billboard HOT 100 chart last week, marking the 3rd consecutive week that the song entered the Top 10. It is known that the hit "APT" debuted on the Billboard HOT 100 chart at the 8th position, then rose 29 places to the 5th position the following week and continued to maintain its form until now.

This achievement has helped Rosé become the first female K-pop idol and Korean solo artist to have the longest-running song in the Top 10 of the Billboard HOT 100 this decade, surpassing Jungkook's hit "Seven" (2 weeks). Previously, PSY's "GANGNAM STYLE" was the only K-pop song to have 12 weeks in the Top 10 of the Billboard HOT 100 but not in this decade.
