Korean netizens expressed their praise for Rosé with the following comments:
She deserves her Times spot.
She doesn't have any remixes or other versions. This is the muggle pick. The company doesn't even need to push her songs and it's flying high on its own.
Because it's a worldwide hti and a muggle pick.
The song isn't rising because of fandom streaming, it's numbers that show a significant public support.
I think the real significance is that a genuine hit song has come out, something people are actually listening to and enjoying. It's not about organized moves by a fandom or anything like that as the armys do to inflate numbers.
Congratulations Rosé and Bruno Mars!
The success of "APT" on global platforms is undeniable. If Rosé doesn't win in the K-pop category at the American Music Awards, we'll know who paid for someone else to win.
It's impressive that she's doing well both on Spotify and on Youtube. It's daebak.
Rosé proved what an organic success is, I can't stop listening to it.
