Fans cheered enthusiastically when news spread that Black Pink Rosé will perform for the first time as a K-pop solo artist on the 68th Grammy Awards stage at the CryptoCom Arena in Los Angeles on February 1st (local time).

When the official social media account of the Grammy Awards announced the performance, saying, "Rose will bloom on the Grammy stage," the comments section was immediately filled with excited fans. More than 70,000 related posts were generated on X (formerly Twitter) in nine hours.

The performance, which will be on par with Lady Gaga, Tyler the Creator, Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Bieber, marks another milestone in Rosé's career. The stage, officially announced by the Grammy on January 29, made Rosé the second K-pop artist to appear on the Grammy stage since BTS in 2020 and the first solo artist.

For "APT." with Bruno Mars, Rosé was nominated for three awards at this year's Grammy Awards: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. "APT." stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 45 consecutive weeks, topping the charts in more than 50 countries around the world.

"Rose has been confirmed to perform at the Grammys and will make history," the World Music Awards said. "He is the first female K-pop artist and the first K-pop solo artist to sing on the recording industry's biggest night."

Fans poured out messages of "giving meaning" beyond congratulations and emotion. A number of evaluations were shared that "the moment that broadened the boundaries of K-pop solo artists" and "historic," and there were also posts reflecting the flow of Rosé's solo career.

At the time of the nomination announcement in November, Rosé was watching the ceremony on group FaceTime with her friends and was anxious just before her name was called. However, when "APT." was soon called out, he shared an image of him cheering, "Oh my God!" on Instagram Story, which became a hot topic.

Earlier, in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Rosé said of the Grammy nomination, "I still get goosebumps now," and added, "I think it will be a moment to prove a lot to my childhood ego."

Rosé is expected to sing "APT." in this performance, but it is not yet known whether Bruno Mars will be on stage together. The 68th Grammy Awards will be broadcast live on CBS and Paramount Plus at 5 p.m. on February 1 (Pacific time), and will be available in Korea from 9:55 a.m. on February 2 on Mnet.
