BLACKPINK's Rosé and Bruno Mars lit up the stage with their "APT." performance at the 2024 MAMA Awards. The two artists performed their latest hit single "APT." for the first time on stage but some fans were disappointed.

The duo took the stage by storm, bringing their perfect chemistry to enhance the performance. While the live performance brought excitement to most fans, some were disappointed that Rose and Bruno Mars' performance was pre-recorded rather than a pure live performance at the event.

Comments on various online communities and Mnet's official YouTube channel reveal that many netizens would have preferred a live performance over the pre-recorded video.

One fan also shared, "I was there live in person and was looking forward to the performance but was sad when I realized it was pre-recorded and a video was just played on the big screen."

Other netizens also left comments on this and wrote:

"There must have been a reason for that... It was cute and good."

"The band was live and their adlib was perfect."

"I wish it was a real live performance."

"I saw them seated where all the artists were so I thought they would be performing live but they just turned on a pre-recorded video. So I felt betrayed."

"Their performance sounded like a really well-edited live performance."

"They should've performed live during the event."

"It was disappointing that I didn't get to see them perform in person."

"I was disappointed that it was a pre-recording but watching it again, it was still good."

"I liked the performance but I get why fans were disappointed. They were waiting for three hours to watch the performance live but turned out it was a pre-recording."

"I think they were doing live performances only in Japan."

"They made all the fans wait for the live performance but it turned out it was pre-recorded..."

"I was expecting a live performance too but was so disappointed that it was a pre-recording."
