“APT” has everyone singing along, but have you ever tried these Other Korean Games?

“APT,”BLACKPINK Rosé’s hit solo release with Bruno Mars, has skyrocketed in popularity in record time. Fans everywhere are curious about the meaning behind “APT” and the inspiration for this captivating song.

In the "APT" game, players stack their hands one on top of the other while chanting "Apateu, Apateu." The leader then calls out a number, and each player starts removing their hand from the bottom of the stack in order. The person who ends up removing their hand last, matching the called number, usually takes a shot of alcohol.

But if you’re one of the many drawn into the wave of interest sparked by Rosé’s solo, you’ll be thrilled to discover that Korean culture is packed with equally exciting and energetic games! Here’s a look at some iconic Korean games.

1. Dibidibidip

This game might sound like a magic spell, and in a way, it is! The goal is to avoid matching your opponent’s pose. If both players strike the same pose, the game ends, so creativity is key to mastering Dibidibidip. Players love the fast pace and opportunity to invent unique poses, making it endlessly fun and unpredictable.


2. Catch the Mice

This high-energy game reached new heights of popularity after appearing on the hit variety show Heroine 6. In Catch the Mice, the faster you play, the more challenging it becomes, as players have to keep up with the rhythm without making mistakes.


3. Cham Cham Cham

Cham Cham Cham is a classic Korean game that’s as thrilling as it is simple. Similar to Dibidibidip, but with a twist, this game uses hand movements instead of poses. The aim is to avoid nodding in the same direction as your opponent’s hand; if you do, you lose!


4. Nunchi Game

If you’ve ever watched SEVENTEEN play, you’ve likely seen them take on the Nunchi Game. This game is all about "reading the room." Players take turns calling out sequential numbers, but here’s the challenge: if two players call out the same number, they lose. It’s simple, but staying focused is essential!


5. Baskin Robbins 31

This game isn’t about ice cream! In Baskin Robbins 31, players take turns counting, but each person can only say up to three numbers. The player who lands on the number 31 loses, so strategy is key to avoid being the one who has to say that final number.


6. I Am Ground Self-Introduction

The I Am Ground Self-Introduction game is a test of rhythm and coordination. Players follow a sequence of slapping their thighs, clapping, and pointing while introducing themselves to the beat. It’s fast-paced, challenging, and tons of fun, especially in larger groups.


From solo hits to classic games, Korean culture is rich in excitement and creativity. Try out these games with friends to experience the playful side of Korean pop culture that’s just as engaging as BLACKPINK Rosé’s “APT” debut.
