Today's Stars: Dorothy, Dan, and Kenneth Take on "APT."

When Dorothy, Dan, and Kenneth – three siblings from the United States – were planning their Seoul travel adventure, they wanted something more meaningful than typical tourist activities. As devoted BLACKPINK fans, they were thrilled to learn about KING STUDIO's unique offering and immediately chose to record "APT." by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars – the global sensation inspired by a Korean drinking game called "apateu".

The song choice was perfect for these American visitors. "APT." has been praised as "a luminous banger that fizzes with playful energy, from its stomping pop-rock beat to its addictive chanted chorus", making it an ideal track for first-time K-pop recording enthusiasts. The playful lyrics blend Korean culture with universal themes of fun and attraction, creating an accessible entry point for international fans.

Step 1: Meet the KING STUDIO Dream Team

Dorothy, Dan, and Kenneth's Seoul travel experience began with introductions to our professional team. Our vocal director specializes in K-pop technique and has worked with numerous idol trainees, while our manager ensures every aspect of the recording session runs smoothly. Producer Aiden, with his extensive background in K-pop production, would guide them through the technical aspects of creating their "APT." cover.

The siblings were immediately impressed by the studio's professional atmosphere – this wasn't a novelty experience but a genuine glimpse into the K-pop industry they admired from afar.

Step 2: Studio Tour and Equipment Orientation

Our manager led Dorothy, Dan, and Kenneth through KING STUDIO's facilities, explaining how each piece of equipment contributes to that signature K-pop sound. The microphone test revealed each sibling's unique vocal qualities, while the introduction to our cue box system – the same technology used in professional K-pop recordings – demonstrated the precision required for creating polished tracks.

The infectious rhythm of "APT." with its hand-clap game beat made it perfect for demonstrating how modern K-pop production layers different elements to create its distinctive sound.

Step 3: Vocal Training with Professional Direction

Before diving into "APT.," our vocal director worked with each sibling individually. Dorothy's natural tone suited ROSÉ's delicate yet powerful delivery style, while Dan and Kenneth learned to incorporate the rhythmic elements that make the song's "apateu apateu" chant so catchy.

This wasn't just karaoke – this was professional vocal training adapted for international visitors, ensuring each participant could deliver their best performance regardless of their starting skill level.

Step 4: Rehearsal and Key Optimization

Every professional recording begins with rehearsal, and Dorothy, Dan, and Kenneth's experience was no different. We carefully analyzed each sibling's vocal range and adjusted the instrumental track to match their optimal singing keys. Given that "APT." originated from studio experimentation and playful energy, this rehearsal phase allowed the siblings to capture that same spontaneous joy while maintaining professional quality.

The song's structure – with its blend of English and Korean elements – provided perfect opportunities for each sibling to shine in different sections, creating a truly collaborative recording experience.

Step 5: Professional Recording with Part-by-Part Direction

The main recording session lasted approximately 90 minutes, with our vocal director providing the same detailed guidance given to actual K-pop trainees. Each sibling recorded their parts separately, allowing for precise vocal direction and multiple takes to achieve perfection.

Dorothy tackled ROSÉ's sections with growing confidence, while Dan and Kenneth brought their own interpretation to Bruno Mars' parts. The beauty of "APT." lies in its accessibility – it's fundamentally about having fun and sharing good times, which perfectly matched the siblings' Seoul travel experience.

After initial recording, we conducted detailed monitoring sessions, identifying areas for improvement and re-recording specific sections until each part met professional standards. This process mirrors exactly what happens when actual K-pop artists record their hits.

Step 6: Final Mixing and the Sweet Spot Experience

The final phase involved rough mixing in our studio, followed by monitoring in KING STUDIO's acoustically optimized "sweet spot" – the precise location where audio engineers make final adjustments. Dorothy, Dan, and Kenneth heard their voices transformed through professional mixing, complete with the polished production values that define K-pop.

As a memorable conclusion to their Seoul travel experience, each sibling received KING STUDIO's welcome kit, complete with their professionally recorded track and exclusive merchandise.
