Bruno and Rosé hit it big with their track “APT.” released last year.

In a new interview with Billboard, the singer spoke about the impact of the song he did with Rosé, comparing the impact to that of PSY’s “Gangnam Style.”

No one says it, but I feel like Rosie is the first time we’ve seen this. The last time we’ve seen something to this effect was “Gangnam Style.” I still think that was an amazing thing to happen, this guy comes out and he’s talking about Gangnam style and the whole song is in Korean and that’s the learning lesson, the rock star-ness of that. This is what we do, this is how I talk, this is what we look like, this is how we’re dancing over here — and watch me sweep the nation with this s–t. And he did. “APT.” with Rosie, I’ve never felt this before, I’ve never seen this before, where Rosie is this Korean girl that introduced this thing to people who don’t know about it, including myself. And that’s been the most enjoyable part for me. Seeing everybody react… that is magic to watch.

Yet, when the quote was posted online, it sparked major fury with netizens believing that, whereas Bruno Mars had used BTS for “clout” in the past, his words were disrespecting BTS, with some even believing that it had racist undertones.

Rosé was also accused of disrespecting BTS with her recent interview, and you can read about it below.
