Apink boasts a strong friendship 12 years into their debut.
Apink recently appeared as special guests on the SBS PowerFM radio show “Two O’Clock Escape Cultwo Show” on April 6th. The group, which debuted on April 19th, 2011, had just released their tenth mini-album, “SELF”, on April 5th.
During the radio show, the members shared stories of their enduring friendship and some interesting facts about their new album.
Apink member Park Chorong revealed a new way of saying goodbye to fans during their concerts, which was inspired by member Kim Namjoo’s sudden idea. Instead of saying “Until now, it has been Apink,” the group now says “It’s Apink from now on.”
The new way of saying goodbye has been well-received by fans, who appreciate the group’s longevity and continued presence in the industry.
During the show, Apink also talked about their recent overseas tour, which was their first in six years. The group performed in Tokyo and Osaka, and fans were moved to tears throughout the concert. Jung Eunji said that it felt like seeing hometown friends after a long time.
Apink also boasted about matching friendship rings they recently got from Cartier. Kim Namjoo said, “We’ve had over 10 couple rings before. We did it a little cheaply at first, but this time we decided to do it properly. We bought them at the duty-free shop, but I scratched mine as soon as I put it on.”
The members added, “Oh Hayoung tends to leave it in the case even when washing up because she is afraid of scratches on the ring.”
When asked how they were able to get the right sizes, they answered, “Eunji’s size didn’t fit.” Jung Eunji added, “I intentionally wear them loose so I don’t lose them.” Park Chorong joked, “I told them to eat a lot of salty food at night (to prevent swelling),” making everyone laugh.
