Girl group Apink is gearing up to celebrate a significant milestone in their career as they prepare to release a brand-new single on April 19, 2025, marking the 14th anniversary of their debut. The announcement was made on March 26, 2025, by their agency, Choi Creative Lab, and fans are eagerly anticipating what the new song will bring.
Since their debut in 2011, Apink has become one of K-pop's most enduring girl groups. They have a tradition of releasing new music every April 19, with last year's offering being the heartfelt track “Wait Me There,” composed by the group's leader, Park Cho-rong. The title of the upcoming anniversary song has yet to be revealed, but it is expected to continue the group’s legacy of meaningful and fan-oriented music.
Apink is well-known for their annual releases that resonate with their fans, often referred to as “fan songs.” Over the years, they have released several notable tracks on their anniversary, including “If You Gesture” in 2015, “Always” in 2017, “Miracle Story” in 2018, “Everybody Ready?” in 2019, “Thank You” in 2021, and “Only I Know” in 2022. Each of these releases has contributed to their reputation as a group that values its connection to fans.
The upcoming single will be Apink's first group release in a year, following their previous digital single. The anticipation surrounding this new track is heightened by the group's history of delivering quality music that often reflects their growth and experiences over the years.
In addition to their music, Apink has maintained a strong presence through live performances. In December 2024, they held their “Pink Christmas” concerts in western Seoul, marking their first full-member shows in four years. These concerts were a significant event for fans, showcasing the group's enduring popularity and commitment to their craft.
Following the domestic performances, Apink embarked on their “Pink New Year” Asian tour, which included stops in Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong from January 18 to March 7, 2025. This tour not only demonstrated their musical talents but also their ability to connect with international audiences, further solidifying their status in the K-pop industry.
Currently, Apink consists of five members: Park Cho-rong, Yoon Bo-mi, Jeong Eun-ji, Kim Nam-joo, and Oh Ha-young. The group originally debuted as a seven-member ensemble, but they became widely recognized as a six-member group after Hong Yoo-kyung's departure in 2013. The most recent change occurred in 2022 when Son Na-eun also left the group. Despite these changes, Apink has continued to thrive and adapt, showcasing the strong bond among the remaining members.
Apink's discography is filled with hits that have defined their career, such as “NoNoNo” (2013), “Mr. Chu” (2014), “LUV” (2014), and “Dumhdurum” (2020). Their ability to evolve musically while remaining true to their roots has endeared them to fans both domestically and internationally.
As the release date for their new single approaches, excitement is building among fans who are curious about the melody and message that Apink's latest song will convey. The anticipation is palpable, with many speculating about how this new track will reflect their growth as artists and their experiences over the past year.
Apink's new song is set to be released on various online music platforms at 6 p.m. KST on April 19, 2025. With their track record of meaningful releases, fans are eager to see how Apink will commemorate their 14th anniversary and what surprises they have in store.
In the meantime, fans can catch Yoon Bo-mi on the dating show “Eden 2” available on Viki, showcasing her versatility as an entertainer beyond music.
As they approach this significant anniversary, Apink continues to exemplify resilience and dedication, making them a beloved fixture in the K-pop landscape. The upcoming single not only celebrates their past but also sets the stage for their future as they continue to create music that resonates with their audience.
