BLACKPINK’s Rosé recently made a poignant and unforgettable appearance at Psy’s “Summer Swag 2025”, which was held on June 28 at Incheon Asiad Main Stadium. Particularly, the top K-pop star appeared as a special guest during the highly anticipated concert, first joining Psy to perform the track “APT.” before delivering a powerful rendition of her solo song “toxic till the end”.
Following her performances, Rosé took a moment to address the crowd, sharing her heartfelt gratitude. The female idol said, “This is my first time greeting so many people since releasing my first solo album last December. I truly wanted to thank everyone for the love you’ve shown for ‘APT.’ and the rest of my songs.”
Then, overwhelmed with emotion, Rosé dropped to her knees and offered a full bow to the audience. With her voice trembling as she fought back tears, Rosé stated, “I really worked hard on this. The love I’ve received gave me strength,” adding, “I told myself I wouldn’t cry, but… I’m 28 now. I debuted at 20 and spent my twenties receiving so much love with BlackPink. I poured everything I experienced in my twenties into this album. But even now, life’s still difficult. You think you’ve figured it all out, but then something new hits you. You get hurt, even when you think you’ve learned not to be. I guess that’s just life.”
Rosé went on to introduce “dance all night”, explaining it was the first song she ever wrote for the album years ago and that it remains a great source of comfort to her. “It’s my first time performing it live, so I’m nervous. But I’d love it if you’d sing along,” she shared, before launching into the touching track.
This intimate and emotionally raw moment stood out even amidst Psy’s famously high-energy concert, revealing a deeper, more reflective side of Rosé that resonated powerfully with fans.
