ROSÉ met Jimmy Fallon at the 30 Rock studios on Tuesday night (Sept. 23), playing charades with the late-night star while also haunting him in the halls of his own studio with her global hit “APT.”

Returning to The Tonight Show about nine months after she served as a musical guest on the program, the BLACKPINK singer played on Fallon’s team against The Roots’ Tariq Trotter and guest Kate McKinnon during the hilarious guessing game. With ROSÉ successfully determining that the talk-show host was miming Sabrina Carpenter’s smash “Espresso” in the first round before acting out clues for Love Island, which Fallon also correctly guessed, it was a tie game left up to one last free-for-all round.
The last prompt ended up being “Elvis,” leading McKinnon and the K-pop star to launch into their respective best impressions of The King. Though ROSÉ’s embodiment of Elvis wasn’t quite as ambitious as the Saturday Night Live alum’s, with the singer shyly playing air guitar and rocking out with an invisible mic stand, Fallon secured their team’s victory by guessing the right answer just seconds before Trotter did.
“Yes!” ROSÉ cheered, wrapping Fallon in a celebratory hug.
The game night comes just a few weeks after the star’s Billboard Hot 100-topping duet with Bruno Mars, “APT.,” won song of the year at the 2025 VMAs. ROSÉ previously performed the smash on The Tonight Show in December, along with “Toxic Till the End” from her debut solo album Rosie.
In the months since she last appeared on the show, “APT.” has only become more and more inescapable — something ROSÉ and Fallon spoofed in a hilarious video while she was in the NBC building. In the clip, he wanders the dark halls of 30 Rock as a ghostly ROSÉ trails him, spooking him by singing parts of the track.
“Man, it’s almost scary how I can’t get that song out of my head,” Fallon says of “APT.”
