Rose and Bruno Mars bond with an awkward high-five-hug moment at 2024 MAMA Awards

The 2024 MAMA Awards were full of epic moments, but none quite as awkwardly adorable as the one that involved BLACKPINK's Ros¨¦ and Bruno Mars. If there¡¯s one thing we know about these two, it¡¯s that they¡¯re full of surprises ¡ª and this time, it was a mix of performance magic and pure chaos.

First off, let¡¯s talk about their show-stopping performance of APT, which they performed live for the very first time. The collaboration had everyone on their feet, especially as the track, which dropped earlier in October, has already been breaking records left, right, and centre. The song topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100, and now this live performance had fans screaming.

The oops moments between Bruno Mars and Ros¨¦

But then came the moment that everyone¡¯s been talking about. Ros¨¦ and Bruno, having just snagged the Global Sensation Award, made their way to the stage. As they delivered their acceptance speech, Bruno flexed his ¡°Korean-speaking¡± skills, saying a couple of lines that left fans swooning (and cringing a little too). But when the moment was supposed to wrap up, oh boy, things took an unexpected turn.

Ros¨¦, with her signature cool-girl vibe, went for a high-five ¡ª classic, right? But Bruno? He was clearly feeling it and went for a hug instead. The moment was a bit of a disaster... and yet, it was pure gold. Fans couldn¡¯t stop talking about the awkwardness, and soon, clips of the moment went viral. One fan tweeted, ¡°Ros¨¦ going for a high-five and him going for a hug,¡± while another wrote, ¡°THE AWKWARD HIGH-FIVE/HUG WAS AMAZING that moment will live in my mind forever."

The hilarious moment was so relatable, showing us that even stars like Ros¨¦ and Bruno have their human moments, just like the rest of us. It was a ¡°yikes, but also adorable¡± kind of moment. As one fan put it, ¡°Mother and our short king ate so bad they needed that moment to remind us that they¡¯re human too.¡±

Now, the pair may have been confused for a sec, but there¡¯s no confusion about their place in the spotlight. They rightfully won the Global Sensation Award, and whether they¡¯re performing bangers or having awkward moments on stage, they know how to steal the show. Ros¨¦¡¯s solo career is skyrocketing, and with APT breaking records, Bruno Mars is still proving he¡¯s the king of versatility.

Who knew a high-five-hug mix-up could be this iconic?
