South Korean pop legends Apink successfully concluded the Kuala Lumpur leg of their 8th concert series, [The Origin: APINK], at Mega Star Arena. Celebrating 15 years as a premier force in the K-pop industry, the group delivered a high-octane performance to a capacity crowd of passionate Malaysian Pandas.

The concert, marking their first return to Malaysian shores in eight years, showcased the group's enduring vocal prowess and stage presence. The evening kicked off with a wave of nostalgia as Chorong, Bomi, Eunji, Namjoo, and Hayoung performed their iconic "pure-concept" hits. The arena transformed into a sea of pink during renditions of "NoNoNo," "BUBIBU," and "MY MY," proving these tracks remain definitive anthems of the K-pop genre.

However, the highlight of the night was Apink’s dramatic transformation into their alter-ego, "A-Green." Shedding their soft image for a sophisticated, "girl-crush" aesthetic, the group stunned fans with a charismatic cover of TVXQ’s "Mirotic." The setlist further emphasized this evolution with powerful performances of "Fizzy Soda" and the sleek, synth-driven "I’m So Sick."

Following this high-intensity segment, Apnik transitioned back into their signature melodic style with a string of mega-hits. The crowd hyped for the melancholic yet rhythmic "LUV" and the sugary-sweet "Mr. Chu," before the members treated fans to a performance of their latest track, "Love Me More," bridging the gap between their storied past and their vibrant present.

Apink’s connection with the local crowd reached new heights as they showcased their impressive command of Bahasa Melayu. The members frequently interacted with fans using phrases like "Janji", "Jerit", and "Hebat”, drawing cheers for their effort to embrace Malaysian culture.

The emotional peak of the night occurred during the encore, following a surprise tribute video prepared by the Malaysian fanbase. The video, which included 15 years of shared memories, moved the members to tears. Member Eunji was particularly overcome with emotion, weeping openly as she thanked the fans for their unwavering loyalty and for waiting eight long years for their return.

As the night concluded, Apink reiterated their commitment to their fans, promising a swift return to Malaysia. The tour is set to conclude with a final stop in Manila, further cementing Apink’s status as "Second-Generation" legends who continue to thrive in the modern K-pop landscape. The group performed "Up To The Sky" as the final song to officially end the night on a high note.

Singapore Pandas were treated to an unforgettable night as Apink returned to the Lion City for their “The Origin” Asia Tour on 4 April at Arena @ Expo. The concert marked a heartfelt reunion between the group and their fans, filled with nostalgia, laughter, and powerful performances.

Chorong opened the night with a meaningful reflection, sharing that Singapore was the destination of their very first overseas tour concert. Bomi followed with a warm message, expressing, “We’re so happy to be back. Thank you so much for supporting us, and we hope today will be a special day for all of us,” setting the tone for an evening rooted in appreciation and connection.

➤ A Journey Through Memories and Growth

The night took a nostalgic turn when the group performed “It Girl,” a track that brought them back to their high school days. Eunji reflected on how their younger selves embodied a cuter charm, while noting that they now perform the song with even greater confidence and charisma.

The setlist continued to weave between past and present, allowing fans to relive Apink’s musical journey while also experiencing their growth as artists.

➤ A Surprise “A-green” Transformation

One of the most memorable segments of the night came during the special “A-green” stage, where the members transformed into a boy group, surprising fans with a refreshing and playful concept.

The group delivered an energetic cover of “Mirotic” by TVXQ, alongside their fun track “Fizzy Soda.” The unexpected shift brought laughter and excitement across the venue, as fans embraced this lighthearted side of Apink.

Despite the playful transformation, the members jokingly reassured fans that they would always remain Pandas’ favourite as Apink, even asking the audience to choose between the two concepts—further highlighting their close and easy-going bond with fans.

➤ Moments That Strengthened the Bond

The connection between Apink and their fans was undeniable throughout the night. The members shared how they could hear fans laughing backstage during the VCR segments, especially during the memorable “Avatar” skit—where Hayoung impressed everyone with her acting despite never having watched the movie.

Their latest release, “Love Me More,” drew one of the loudest reactions of the night. Eunji playfully mentioned a “campaign” encouraging fans to bring more people to future concerts—jokingly suggesting one fan bring 30 friends or family members. She quickly reassured everyone not to feel pressured, emphasising the group’s sincere wish to continue performing for fans for many years to come.

➤ A Night Filled with Gratitude and Emotion

As the concert drew to a close, emotions ran high. Bomi shared her heartfelt gratitude, saying, “Time flew by so quickly… it wasn’t easy to have so much energy, but our Pandas gave us incredible energy from start to end.”

Chorong echoed the sentiment, expressing how meaningful it was to return with a new album and thanking fans for their unwavering support.

Namjoo also expressed her love for Singapore, highlighting the beautiful scenery, amazing food, and most importantly, the fans. “Every time I’m here, I get so excited… especially because of you, my lovely fans.”

Hayoung described the reunion as a “huge gift,” while Eunji reminisced about her previous birthday fan meeting in Singapore, praising fans for their enduring energy. “You’re still so lovely… your energy makes me feel like I can do 10 more songs,” she shared with a smile.

➤ A Celebration of Lasting Love

Ending on a hopeful note, the group promised to return with even better music and performances, encouraging fans to keep their passion alive.

For Singapore Pandas, the night was more than just a concert—it was a celebration of over a decade of memories, growth, and unwavering love between Apink and their fans.
