Rosé and Bruno Mars' drinking-game-inspired hit "APT." is still the talk of the town due to its catchiness and replay value. While the song has achieved records, its impact reached a point where it became "banned" from Korean students, which is also a huge nod its success!
According to Korean news outlet Newsen, "APT." has attained popularity since its release on October 18. Given the song's earworm sound, the song gained so much traction from the public, especially from students in Korea.
This kind of infectious effect could lead to a song being "banned" from students since it could hinder their focus on academics. Apparently, "APT." claimed a spot on the list of banned songs, which garnered reactions on social media.
One netizen on X (formerly Twitter) commented, "That's true that this song is too addictive, even small kids are also vibing with this song!"
