The Malaysian Ministry of Health has raised controversy by evaluating Rosé and Bruno Mars' "Apartment," which is gaining worldwide popularity, as "harmful music."
The Malaysian Ministry of Health recently raised the issue through its official SNS account, asking, "Have you heard Rosé and Bruno Mars' "Apartment?"
The Malaysian Ministry of Health pointed out, "The expression 'apartment' is used as a place of temptation in the song, which normalizes behavior that conflicts with the values of Eastern culture."
He added, "What is even more concerning is that this song is frequently used in SNS videos and is permeating our daily lives. In particular, there is a possibility that children will unconsciously sing along to these lyrics."
He also said, "As parents, educators, and members of society, we must be vigilant about indiscriminately accepting the influence of Western culture," and "Of course, there may be various interpretations of this song and opinions of fans in support of it, but it is important to analyze the lyrics and make your own judgment."
Meanwhile, Rosé collaborated with Bruno Mars and released a new song, "Apartment," on the 18th. The song topped Melon's "Top 100" chart, as well as music platforms such as Genie and Flo, with its addictive hook and memorable lyrics. Rosé's first full-length album, "rosie," which will be released on Friday, December 6, includes the new album and pre-released single "APT." and contains a total of 12 tracks, including the title track. Rosé will participate in writing and composing all the songs on this album, telling her own stories more honestly and intimately.

Health officials specifically took issue with lyrics such as "Kissy face, kissy face, sent to your phone but I'm tryna kiss your lips for real" and "Turn this apatue into a club, I'm talkin' drink, dance, smoke, freak, party all night."
