Bruno Mars jokes about Rosé's high performance fees

During an interview ahead of his upcoming concert in Seoul, Bruno Mars jokingly commented on the high cost of collaborating with Rosé. Following the massive success of their hit song ‘APT.’, Mars expressed a desire to reunite with the K-pop star on stage but teased that her performance fees have become prohibitively expensive, jokingly adding, “She doesn’t even pick up my calls anymore.”

While the remarks were made in a humorous context, they highlight Rosé's rising status as a top-tier international artist. Since focusing on her solo career, Rosé has become more selective with her appearances, choosing to participate only in special events or to support close colleagues. This selective approach has increased the anticipation surrounding her rare stage performances. Regarding a potential solo world tour, Rosé previously noted that she wants to ensure she has enough material to create a complete and meaningful experience for her fans.
