Rose, a member of K-pop group BLACKPINK, has made history by becoming the first artist from the industry to win a trophy at Britain's most prestigious pop music awards. She secured the International Song of the Year prize at the 46th Brit Awards on Saturday (British time) for "APT.", her collaborative hit with American pop star Bruno Mars. "Give a shout out to BLACKPINK. Jennie, Jisoo and Lisa, I love you guys so much. Thank you for always inspiring me," Rose said on stage after receiving the trophy in Manchester, naming her fellow group members. "Bruno, I'm receiving this award on behalf of the both of us. Thank you so much for everything for being my biggest mentor and best friend," she added, also offering thanks to Teddy, the founder and chief producer of her agency, The Black Label.
