BLACKPINK's Rosé shared the behind-the-scenes story of Bruno Mars’ fan-fiction story post that went viral before the release of their hit song APT. On November 28, Rosé appeared on the podcast Therapuss with Jake Shane, in an episode titled Session 46: Rosé.
The BLACKPINK member recalled the day when the Grenade singer shared a picture of the two on social media with a caption that appeared to be a fan-fiction story. She said she had warned him not to tease their collaboration song and called him twice to ensure it was not made public.
She said,
“He’s crazy, literally he joked about it and I called him twice don’t do it, you're going to get cancelled, literally don’t do it. Oh sh*t, I feel like he’s going to actually do it.”
Rosé disclosed that she had to take a flight for an overseas schedule, and while packing, she saw the Polaroid image on Bruno Mars’ Instagram page, which was posted on October 17, 2024. She was stunned to see the caption, which had a fan-fiction story.
When fans discovered that the promo was unplanned and Rosé was unaware of it, they couldn't help but laugh. Furthermore, they were also happy to hear about the bond they share.
“It’s good that she’s giving us pieces to the puzzles they created. Now we know the backstory of their controversial IG posts,” a fan said
“A promo genius. No money spent, but lots of impact. Every label's dream,” another fan said.
“lol this just goes to show how close their friendship is! I love it! it was great for all of us and then APT happened and rest is herstory,” a user stated.
Fans were delighted to learn about the two singers' friendship through the unprepared teaser incident.
“This makes me so happy cause now we know apt announcement on ig was not planned at all and it was just pure teasing between them, they really are beaties,” a user commented.
“Rosé thought Bruno was gonna get her cancelled with his captions before she even got to put out her first single,”another user commented.
“The way she’s all, “Don’t do it, you’ll get cancelled,” and he’s probably just sitting there planning his next move like, “Challenge accepted.” Iconic duo!” a fan said.
Fans were curious whether Rosé also reads fan fiction stories or not.
“So this is how I find out she probably reads aus?????” a fan wrote.
“Fanfic? Girlllll, what’s ur wattpad account? DROP THEM AO3 BOOKMARKS.” a user stated.
“Now I'm curious but also mortified !!!! Has she read fanfiction ???!!” a fan reacted.
