BLACKPINK鈥檚 Rose gave her fans a big surprise at the opening night of PSY鈥檚 Summer Swag 2025 concert, held at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium in South Korea. On Saturday, June 28, the BLACKPINK star ran onto the stage while singing her chart-busting hit APT, leaving the crowd in loud cheers. Originally, she sang the song with Bruno Mars, but this time, PSY joined her and sang Bruno鈥檚 part.
The crowd went wild, with some even singing APT with the two singers and enjoying the moment as water cannons sprayed cold water and confetti flew through the air. Besides APT, Rose also performed other songs from her first solo album, Rosie, such as Toxic Till the End and Dance All Night. This was the first time the BLACKPINK singer performed the songs live at a concert.
At one point in the show, Rose expressed her happiness at being invited by PSY to perform. She told the crowd, 鈥淚鈥檓 so happy to be invited to the 鈥楽ummer Swag 2025鈥, something I had only imagined before.鈥 She also thanked fans for their love for her album, Rosie, and the song APT.
Following the show, Rose also shared a video on her Instagram account, capturing some behind-the-scenes moments from the concert. Dressed in a white T-shirt paired with leather shorts and boots, she was seen stretching as she made her way onto the stage for rehearsal. As the video continued, she was seen singing APT alongside PSY amid the loud cheers of the audience. In one touching moment, Rose even hugged the Gangnam Style singer and bowed down in front of everyone for showering her with love. In the caption of the post, Rose wrote, 鈥淚t was such an honour to be the Kimshorani of Psy Oppa,鈥 she captioned the video. 鈥淚 love you all!鈥

FYI, this concert was the first in PSY鈥檚 Summer Swag tour 2025, and even BIGBANG鈥檚 G-Dragon was also a part of it. He started this fun-filled summer festival in South Korea back in 2012. Known for its massive scale and unforgettable performances, the tour has now earned a reputation as one of the largest seasonal events. This year, PSY is set to hold a total of 16 shows across nine cities in South Korea, including Sokcho, Suwon, Daegu, Busan and Gwangju.
