"Apink"'s management agency PLANA Entertainment said that "Apink" held their Asia tour in Taipei, Taiwan on the 18th and deepened their interaction with about 3000 fans.
"Apink" captured the hearts of fans with a passionate stage from the start, starting with the title song of their 3rd album released in September this year, "Only one".
The group continued with a stage full of highlights, from energetic stages such as "Remember", "Boom Pow Love", "Mr.chu", and "U You" to ballads such as "Dejavu", "Sunday Monday", and "Ding Dong".
In addition to singing, the group answered fans' questions and split into teams to play bingo, further deepening the bond with their fans.
After the encore, the group prepared a surprise high-five session. They made eye contact with each fan and deepened their connection, kicking off their Asia tour with great success.
Apink said, "Since this is the first day of our Asia tour, we're feeling even more excited and excited. We're really happy to be able to sing and speak in front of all of you who only look at us and love us," and expressed their gratitude to their fans, saying, "We'll never forget the warm gazes and strong support you sent us today, even after we return to Korea."
Tickets for this Taiwan concert were sold out as soon as they went on sale, and more than 30 media outlets gathered to cover the concert, proving their popularity.
Apink will hold a Singapore concert as part of their "PINK AURORA ASIA TOUR" on the 25th.
(From K-POP News)
Apink, who made their comeback in September after a year and three months with the title song of their third album, "Only One," began their Asia tour in Taipei, Taiwan on the 18th.
Videos of the group getting on the bus after arriving in Taiwan and weaving through the crowds of fans, as well as the concert stage, have been uploaded to YouTube.
Tickets for the Taiwan concert were sold out immediately after they went on sale, and the venue was packed, with fans playing games and having fun together with the music stage.
"Ah, Apink's popularity is still going strong," I thought with joy.
In K-POP's home country, the rise of new groups such as TWICE and BLACK PINK continues unabated, and the situation where popular girls cannot rest easy has continued for a long time.
When the K-pop boom of 2010-2012 started to show signs of fading, Apink and AOA, who supported the K-pop boom through the slump of 2013-2014, were like heroine groups that blossomed at the very bottom of K-pop.
Compared to KARA and Girls' Generation, who led the K-pop boom and became huge hits, Apink and AOA had to work hard to chart their own path and become popular.
It took time, and it wasn't a bright, blue-sky hit.
The role they played was to set up a foundation and prevent the rock bottom from happening.
The foundation acted as a bridge that connected the valleys of the mountains.
The next generation, having crossed the bridge of the foundation, seems to be able to see the peak of the next mountain surprisingly close.
Thanks to the efforts of Apink and AOA, K-pop girls were able to avoid rock bottom and stagnation.
They were also spared daunting hardships.
It may be said that the current state of the K-pop girl scene is that Apink and AOA have busily cultivated the foothills that KARA and Girls' Generation have paved, and the next generation has poured in.
Apink and AOA may have hit rock bottom at one point, and then felt the upward curve.
Such voices began to be heard on the streets during their time.
The next generation has shown their strength and is now emerging at the foot of a new mountain that they are cultivating.
It is no longer surprising, but aren't TWICE and BLACK PINK already ahead of Apink and AOA...?
It is unclear how much power Apink and AOA have left.
The girl groups before Apink and AOA have either disbanded or gone on to solo careers.
We hope that both of them will continue their activities with their eyes on the top of the mountain.
★ Apink will perform in Singapore on the 25th as part of their PINK AURORA ASIA TOUR. We can't wait for their fan meeting in Japan.
