Singapore, 2026 – There are few groups that can so effortlessly balance nostalgia and reinvention quite like Apink—and at the Singapore stop of their 2026 Asia Tour The Origin, they proved exactly why they remain so beloved after all these years.
The night opened with a VCR that set the tone for what was to come, before the members appeared on stage with ‘몰라요 (I Don’t Know)’. From the very first note, the venue was filled with cheers, as Apink brought fans back to where it all began. This was followed by ‘BUBIBU’, a bright and bubbly track that perfectly captures their signature innocent charm, and ‘My My’, whose dreamy, wistful sound carried a gentle sense of young love.

During the opening ment, leader Chorong fondly reflected on the group’s long history with Singapore, recalling how their Pink Paradise tour in 2015 had also begun here. Eunji, ever playful, asked the crowd who had attended that show and who was seeing Apink for the first time—jokingly calling out those who might be “lying” as she expressed mock surprise at the number of new faces.
The members were quick to praise the audience’s energy, with Bomi and Eunji teasing fans on whether they had “studied” the songs beforehand—especially as the crowd sang along enthusiastically to ‘BUBIBU’, even if it was their first concert. Namjoo encouraged newcomers to simply follow along with the catchy hooks, while Chorong hinted at a special English introduction from their youngest member. Hayoung did not disappoint, greeting fans warmly in English and expressing her happiness at being back in Singapore, inviting everyone to create unforgettable memories together.

The lighthearted energy continued when a fanboy shouted “완전 미쳤어” (“It’s so crazy!”), prompting Eunji to fire back instantly, “You are more crazy,” sending the crowd into laughter.
Apink then transitioned into one of their most iconic tracks, ‘NoNoNo’, a feel-good anthem that cemented their early popularity. The set continued with ‘It Girl’, the warm and uplifting ‘Lovely Day’, and ‘Wishlist’, during which the members moved off the main stage to get closer to fans at the back—delighting the crowd further by throwing signed panda balls into the audience.

A standout moment came with a humorous VCR imagining Apink as a boy group named “Agreen.” The playful concept drew laughter from fans, and the fun didn’t stop there—Apink returned to the stage with a surprise cover of TVXQ’s ‘Mirotic’, putting their own energetic and cheeky spin on the dark, seductive classic.
Keeping the momentum going, the group performed ‘Fizzy Soda’, followed by ‘Nothing’ and ‘Red Carpet’, before teasing fans with a “what if” scenario: what if they had debuted as AGreen instead of their signature pure concept? As the members jokingly debated their “identity,” they reassured fans with a heartfelt question—“Pandas will still love every side of us, no matter what, right?”—to which the answer came in the form of thunderous cheers.

The concert continued with ‘%% (응응)’ and ‘Dilemma’, before transitioning into ‘1도 없어’, showcasing Apink’s evolution into a more mature and confident sound.
Another VCR delighted fans with its sheer creativity, featuring the members transforming into a mix of whimsical characters—from Rapunzel and Glinda to Elphaba, as well as references to Avatar and even Zootopia. The skit had the audience laughing throughout, highlighting the group’s natural humour and charm.

Returning to the stage with ‘LUV’ and the ever-popular ‘Mr. Chu’, Apink had the entire venue singing along. By the time ‘Hush’ began, the crowd was on their feet, matching the group’s energy as the atmosphere reached an exhilarating high.
Between performances, the members continued to engage fans with their signature wit. They laughed about the VCR segments—especially the “Avatar” scene, which drew the loudest reactions—and teased one another effortlessly. Eunji’s playful interactions stood out once again, even getting fans to stand up and shout “미쳤어!” together for a few seconds, turning the moment into a spontaneous and hilarious highlight.

As the concert moved into its later stages, Apink struck a more emotional tone with ‘Remember’, followed by their latest track ‘Love Me More’, an uplifting song that encourages self-love while showcasing their warm, polished vocals.
In their final ment, the members expressed heartfelt gratitude to their Singapore fans, acknowledging that while they may not visit as often as they would like, they are always thankful for the unwavering support. Namjoo and Hayoung delivered their messages in English, while Eunji, who hadn’t prepared one, opted to speak in Korean instead—leading to a sweet moment where Chorong hugged her on stage, much to the delight of the crowd.

The emotional atmosphere deepened with ‘손을 잡아줘 (Hold My Hand)’, a tender ballad that highlighted the group’s vocal strength, followed by ‘Sunshine’. During photo time, fans surprised Apink with a special video and a banner project, even singing a verse of ‘Like A Dream’—a touching gesture that clearly moved the members.
The final stage featured ‘하늘 높이’, as Apink stepped down from the stage to get closer to fans one last time. A closing VCR showed the members revisiting memories from their journey together, surrounded by photos and moments shared with Pandas over the years. The emotional weight of it all was evident—Namjoo had joked that she wouldn’t cry, only to tear up the moment she saw the display.

It was, in every sense, a night to remember.
Filled with laughter, heartfelt interactions, and emotional reflections, the concert was a testament to the enduring bond between Apink and their fans. As the final moments faded, one thing was clear: no matter how much time passes, Apink and Pandas will always find their way back to each other.
