Welcome back to Hitmaker Chronicles! I'm your host, Garrett Fisher. This week we add to our Grammy countdown with ROSÉ and Bruno Mars' "Apateau" - the drinking game that became K-pop history. We'll trace how a late-night McDonald's run turned into the year's biggest song, why ROSÉ begged her team to delete it from their phones, and how teaching Bruno to say "apateau" created a billion-stream phenomenon. It's a story about stacked hands, perfect storms, and proving that staying authentic to your culture can make the whole world sing along.
