Apink Shines at 8th Solo Concert, Proving 15 Years of Unmatched Charm

Apink successfully wrapped up their eighth solo concert, The Origin: APINK, held on the 21st and 22nd at Jangchung Gymnasium—the first achievement of its kind among Korean girl groups.

The concert celebrated their 15th anniversary with a sold-out audience and a setlist of 30 songs that spanned their entire musical journey.

Titled The Origin: APINK, the event traced the group’s history and enduring bond with fans. Both days sold out early, demonstrating their lasting popularity. The members performed different setlists each day, delivering flawless live band performances that moved the roughly 5,000 attendees. They opened with their debut track “I Don’t Know,” guiding the audience through a nostalgic and emotional musical narrative. Hits from every era—such as “NoNoNo,” “FIVE,” “Mr. Chu,” and even this year’s release “Love Me More”—highlighted the group’s evolution and enduring appeal.

Beyond music, Apink showcased playful transformations. They revisited their pre-debut concept as “Agreen” and covered TVXQ’s “Mirotic,” while also appearing in VCR segments dressed as characters from Rapunzel, Wicked, Zootopia, and Avatar, adding humor and surprise to the evening. These creative moments balanced their classic “innocent idol” image with fresh and fan-focused entertainment.

During the emotional finale, members expressed heartfelt gratitude. Yoon Bomi reflected on their 15-year journey and thanked the “Pandas” fans who have supported them throughout. Oh Hayoung emphasized their desire to give confidence to those who believe in the group. Park Chorong promised continued memories and growth under the name Apink, while Jung Eun-ji shared that the kindness of members and fans inspires her to become a better person. Kim Nam-joo, moved to tears, vowed, “I will never let go of Apink’s hand—please believe in our eternity.” The encore closed with fan favorites such as “Hold My Hand,” “Sunshine,” and “High Sky,” leaving the audience deeply touched.

Apink’s 15th anniversary momentum continues. After releasing the full album RE: LOVE last month—whose title track “Love Me More” topped charts and sparked viral SNS challenges—the group proved their enduring commercial and emotional appeal. Following the successful Seoul concert, the tour continues internationally, visiting cities including Taipei on March 7, Macau on March 21, Singapore on April 4, and Kaohsiung on April 11. Fans across Asia eagerly anticipate the next chapter of Apink’s long-running and heartfelt journey.
