BLACKPINK's Rosé released a super fun and lively new single APT. on October 18 along with Bruno Mars. With the latest track, the idol once again proved why she is one of the best vocalists not only in K-pop but in the global music scene. The track APT. by Rosé and Bruno Mars is both romantic and rebellious. 

Here is what the word APT actually means and the drinking game that Rosé and Bruno Mars play. 

What does APT mean? 

'Apt' is short for the English word 'apartment'. The word has been borrowed from the English language and is commonly used in Korea. This word is used while playing the Apt drinking game. 


APT drinking game 

The APT (Apartment) drinking game is a lively Korean game played in social settings. Players chant "APT" in a rhythmic beat. The players pile up their hands together randomly in any order. One of the participants calls out a number, representing a floor in an imaginary apartment building.

The participant with their hand at the bottom picks it up and puts it on the top while counting the number and this sequence repeats. The game gets progressively harder as it continues, with the rhythm increasing and more mistakes happening, leading to lots of laughter and drinks.

If two players say the same number, they both drink or if someone counts the forbidden number chosen at the beginning of the game, they have to drink. It's a playful way to build energy at gatherings and encourage bonding.
