With this comeback, Apink took on a different direction conceptually, with a bolder image and a more sophisticated sound. "I'm So Sick" topped several music charts in South Korea after its release.

Image and musical style

 
Apink at a fan event, 2014

Apink's image and music style are often compared to first-generation idol girl groups S.E.S. and Fin.K.L.[148][149] Apink has an innocent and girlish image, unusual among girl groups' sexy concepts.[150][151] In 2012, member Oh Ha-young said, "Other girl groups these days tend to highlight their dancing skills and sexy looks, but our concept was an innocent and pure image. I think that's why the audience felt comfortable with us".[152] However, releases like 2014's "Luv" and 2015's "Remember" showed a more mature and sensitive side to the group while still retaining their trademark innocence.[153][154]

Apink's music generally fits within the bubblegum pop genre, with signature cheery lyrics.[44] Jeff Benjamin of Billboard commented that "My My" recalled early 2000s bubblegum pop, "NoNoNo" was influenced by 1980s synth-pop and "Luv" recalls 1990s hip-hop while blending it with ballad melancholy, a fall-themed song of lost love.[155] "Mr. Chu", released in spring 2014, continues Apink's trademark bubblegum series which is 'very Apink'.[156][157] Meanwhile, title track "Remember" is a 'cheery synth-pop tune that reminisces about a love during the summertime,' and 'features a quick rhythm and vintage sound to beat the summer heat,'.[158][159] Their 2016 title track, "Only One" is described as mature, blending in mid tempo R&B and dance-pop with subtle hip-hop beats while song like "Boom Pow Love" shows a far more urban-pop, energetic vibe with pulsing beats compared to their previous hits.[160][161]

With the release of 2018's "I'm So Sick", Apink showed a shift in their style of music, moving towards a more mature and sophisticated sound. The track, with its use of autotune, synth and house beats, and its lyrical content of having 'not even one' bit of feeling left for an ex, makes "I'm So Sick" a much bolder track than what Apink is known to put out.[162] 2019's "%%(Eung Eung)" does much of the same. Its use of 'fizzy synths, snapping beats, and slapping percussion as the members sing about the type of person one should love' makes "%%(Eung Eung)" another song that is a departure from much of Apink's earlier work.[163]

will be forming Apink s new sub unit called ChoBom and will be releasing their first single album Copycat on July 12 147 Image and musical style Edit Apink at a fan event 2014 Apink s image and music style are often compared to first generation idol girl groups S E S and Fin K L 148 149 Apink has an innocent and girlish image unusual among girl groups sexy concepts 150 151 In 2012 member Oh Ha young said Other girl groups these days tend to highlight their dancing skills and sexy looks but our concept was an innocent and pure image I think that s why the audience felt comfortable with us 152 However releases like 2014 s Luv and 2015 s Remember showed a more mature and sensitive side to the group while still retaining their trademark innocence 153 154 Apink s music generally fits within the bubblegum pop genre with signature cheery lyrics 44 Jeff Benjamin of Billboard commented that My My recalled early 2000s bubblegum pop NoNoNo was influenced by 1980s synth pop and Luv recalls 1990s hip hop while blending it with ballad melancholy a fall themed song of lost love 155 Mr Chu released in spring 2014 continues Apink s trademark bubblegum series which is very Apink 156 157 Meanwhile title track Remember is a cheery synth pop tune that reminisces about a love during the summertime and features a quick rhythm and vintage sound to beat the summer heat 158 159 Their 2016 title track Only One is described as mature blending in mid tempo R amp B and dance pop with subtle hip hop beats while song like Boom Pow Love shows a far more urban pop energetic vibe with pulsing beats compared to their previous hits 160 161 With the release of 2018 s I m So Sick Apink showed a shift in their style of music moving towards a more mature and sophisticated sound The track with its use of autotune synth and house beats and its lyrical content of having not even one bit of feeling left for an ex makes I m So Sick a much bolder track than what Apink is known to put out 162 2019 s Eung Eung does much of the same Its use of fizzy synths snapping beats and slapping percussion as the members sing about the type of person one should love makes Eung Eung another song that is a departure from much of Apink s earlier work 163 Members EditAdapted from their Naver profile 164 Current Edit Park Cho rong 박초롱 Yoon Bo mi 윤보미 Jeong Eun ji 정은지 Kim Nam joo 김남주 Oh Ha young 오하영
