With Apink member Yoon Bomi becoming the first in the group to announce her marriage, eyes have naturally turned to former member Son Na-eun, who has often been at the center of persistent rumors about internal group discord. As Yoon Bomi prepares to tie the knot, fans wonder whether this moment could finally dispel those rumors for good.
On December 18, Yoon Bomi shared a handwritten letter on Apink’s official fan cafe, revealing her upcoming marriage to music producer Rado. “Now 33, after spending my teens and twenties with you all, I’ve decided to start a new chapter with someone who has been by my side through joy and hardship,” she wrote.
She continued, “Just as I’ve always tried to be, I’ll remain responsible and strong. I will continue to repay our Pandas with better activities as Apink’s Bomi and as myself.”
Yoon Bomi and Rado first met in 2016 while working on Apink’s third studio album. Despite a 9-year age gap, the two developed a romantic relationship that has lasted nearly nine years. They are set to marry in May 2026, and both agencies confirmed the wedding, asking for warm support for the couple’s future. Notably, Yoon Bomi is still actively promoting and will return with Apink’s 11th mini album RE:LOVE on January 5, 2026, ahead of her wedding.
Naturally, Son Na-eun’s name has resurfaced in the conversation. Since officially departing from Apink in April 2022 after 11 years, she has focused solely on her acting career. While she has maintained an active profile in fashion and event appearances, critics have noted her lack of a standout acting project.
More recently, Son Na-eun was cast in the drama Manager Kim and will also appear in the reality show Hotel Goblin, scheduled to premiere in January 2026. With Apink nearing its 15th anniversary, there’s growing curiosity about whether she will attend Yoon Bomi’s wedding, even though it’s a private, non-official event.
If Son Na-eun appears at the ceremony, it could help silence the recurring speculation about discord or estrangement among Apink members rumors often triggered by her absence at birthdays or group gatherings. A reunion at Bomi’s wedding might show that while paths have diverged, mutual support still exists.
Ultimately, if fans and media can begin to separate group activities from individual endeavors, it may finally lift the weight of misunderstanding from both Apink and Son Na-eun, allowing everyone to move forward with clarity and respect.
