In a delightful twist of fate, BLACKPINK member Rosé has found herself at the center of a viral moment, thanks to a two-year-old named Dong Woo who has taken the K-Pop world by storm - quite literally in the middle of the night. His mom recently shared a video that has already garnered over 5 million views, depicting the little boy wide awake, channeling his inner K-Pop star by energetically singing along to Rosé's hit song "APT," featuring none other than Bruno Mars.

In the heartwarming video, while his mother peacefully sleeps, Dong Woo can't resist the allure of "APT." With arms flailing about and steam billowing from a humidifier, the toddlers entertained thousands, leaving viewers wondering if he was trying to commune with spirits or issue a cheeky protest for a new apartment.

“I never knew my son was destined to be a K-Pop icon,” wrote Dong Woo’s mother, playfully begging Rosé and Bruno Mars for assistance. “Please help my son who sings ‘APT’ from sunrise to sundown. He’s addicted!”

The performance has taken the internet by storm, charming Koreans, including Rosé herself. Fans have flooded the comments with hilarious reactions: - “Is he asking for an apartment? How cute!” - “The steam gives it an eerie vibe - is he casting spells?” - “Just give him an apartment already!”

Rosé, amused by the light-hearted chaos her song has caused, responded with an adorable apology, humorously taking accountability for “possessing” Dong Woo with her catchy tune: "Oh gosh, I’m sorry ma’am..."

This unexpected fame has opened up conversations about the influence of K-Pop on young audiences worldwide and how catchy melodies can truly capture the hearts of listeners - even the youngest ones.

With more memes and videos popping up online every day, it's clear that Dong Woo’s newfound love for K-Pop is just beginning. Who knows, perhaps we’ll see this little star on a stage in the future!
