(This post only makes sense to people who listen to kpop)
Since one of my fav animal is Panda, so APink is one of my fav kpop girl group now....
Watch the APink Panda Fan Meeting Video
so why is APink and why is Panda ?
APink(에이핑크) is called A Pink because all members want to ace everything about their career, and all the members love the color Pink, so together the group name is called A Pink. The official fan club of APink is called "Pink Panda" or "Panda of APink" because the manager of APink looks like Po from the movie KungFu Panda when APink just debuted.(Yes, she did eat all the food when APink members are practice dance performance)
My bias in APink : Eunji Panda and Bomi Panda
Jung Eunji(정은지/鄭恩地), known by her stage name Eunji, is main vocalist of the APink. I start to like Eunji after watching Korean Drama Reply 1997(응답하라 1997), Eunji was really cute and innocent in that drama and she is also a really good singer outside of APink group activity. Before I know about APink, I really like IU and marshmallow , and now I asked myself Eunji or IU ?
Yoon BoMi(윤보미/尹普美), lead dancer of APink. She used to be a trainee under JYP Entertainment before debut as APink member. The very first time I watch APink MV back in 2011, I always thought :"Wait, is she still going to elementary school?" And actually she was already in high school at that time. and now I always thought:" is Bomi still going to high school?". And actually Bomi graduated from high school already, but still look so young.
APink members are all good kids.
All APink members are so young, the youngest member HaYoung just turned 18 last year, she had to take 수능(SAT in Korea) because she still went to high school, and I heard she study really hard for that exam. Also, APink used to have 7 members before, former member Hong YooKyung decided to leave APink, and she chose to focus on study instead, such a good kid.
is APink really in trend in kpop right now?
When APink released their 1st successful single "My My" back in 2011, APink was awarded the Best New Female Artist award at the same year. However, APink was not considered as top-tier kpop girl group until the release of "No No No" and their following single "Mr Chu". And especially "No No No" became a turning point for APink's career .
Last year 2014, APink released "LUV", Luv" achieved number 1 on all the major online music charts including Melon, Naver, Daum, Mnet and Olleh. A Pink also won first place on all three major music shows two weeks in a row, the only girl group to do so in 2014. More importantly, Apink just broke SNSD's record for music show wins, the last record was set by SNSD hit single "Gee" for 9 straight win back in 2009.
