What dose APT mean in Rose and Mars song?

 

Hey everyone! Today, I’m going to dive into the meaning behind Rosé's song "The Apt." Aren't you all curious? 

 



In Korea, "apartment" is commonly referred to as "아파트" (apateumeonteu). However, in Rosé's new song "Apartment (APT.)," the term "apartment" seems to be inspired by the Korean drinking game known as "Apartment Game." This game is a simple way for friends to enjoy themselves together, where each player stacks their hands like the floors of an apartment and takes turns removing their hands while performing penalties.

 




The title "Apartment" captures a cheerful atmosphere centered around this game, emphasizing the way it fosters closeness among friends. In this context, "apartment" transcends being just a living space; it serves as a medium for nurturing bonds and joy among people.



While "apartment" is a shortened term for "apartment," in the context of Rosé's song, it specifically refers to the drinking game and is expressed as a fun way to build connections with friends. The song beautifully conveys the lively spirit associated with this game!

Let's get started! Now that your curiosity is satisfied, I’ll be back with more fun stories next time. See you then!
