me too:laugh
anyone know the first music show they'll debut in???
i hope its m!countdown because i want to see their perfomance soon :P

BUT WHY NOT BEING AN UNNIE FAN SEEMS FUN XDDD

I'm 70% sure (so it's not much) that the group's correct name is Apink. (But last.fm scrobbles everything which isn't hangul as aPink, anyway :/)

I like their mini more and more. It has that bright, cheerful tune~ I still have to watch MV.

should we tag it in hangul or romaji then ?

^ The correct name isn't in hangul, that's for sure.

I watched MV, I love the choreography.

i read on soompi that they'll be on mnet!!! :yatta

^really? yaaaaaaaaay:heart
i can't waiit!

so is it Apink? A PINK? A Pink? APink? LOL

^SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!!!! XD thankgod i dont have lastfm no more :innocent

^^ i think it's Apink :laugh at least that's how kiwi tweeted it:roflmao
but whatever, because lastfm is tagging it as "aPink" XD

I'm not caring for how last.fm is tagging it (they're the ****), I want to have the most correct tags for everything, I'm OCD.

Mnet!Countdown? That's great! The sooner the better :)

I love the mv and the choreo :heart .. I love these girls so much already !

I write their name as APink and I think the correct last.fm tag is aPink ~

they said they wanted to "return" (cant find the good word for it :P) to the style of SES and Fink.L, which was also fresh and innocent like~ but i do agree that it has the same feeling of Good Day! but thats a good thing right :laugh

I just discovered these girls today and I'm glad a thread exists for them here! I saw some people commenting on them on another forum saying they sound like old SNSD so I had to check them out and I am NOT disappointed! I like every song on their mini album and they're all really cute and have really nice voices. I think Eun Ji is my favorite because her voice is soo strong. I love it. Their music video is so cute too, though the choreography isn't that great. I'm really happy I found this new group~

^ yup, Eunji's vocal abilities are insane!

She's my favorite too, she caught my attention immediately when I was watching MV, seems to have a happy personality and that's true in reality - it said she's very lively, friendly and cheers everyone up around. Obviously I love her vocals. She's the prettiest in my opinion as well.

[NEWS] A Pink busily rehearses for their official debut

Spoiler:

Quote:

On April 18th, Sports Seoul went behind the scenes of A Pink’s rehearsal studio as the girls prepare for their impending debut just days away. Standing before a full wall of mirrors, the girls could be seen practicing the same move over and over, trying out different concepts like ‘cute’ and ‘powerful’.

Drenched in sweat, reporters noted that their movements were very mechanic, like wind up dolls in a sense. Unfortunately, the girls have no option but to work without rest, as they were just two days away from the release of their debut track, “I Don’t Know“.

-

“I Don’t Know” is a feminine and sweet dance track that brings out the youthfulness of their members. Although it may seem just innocent upon first glance, their dance incorporates some powerful moves that require perfect synchronization by the members.

When Jung Eun Ji (18) makes a mistake, the room erupts in laughter. The oldest, Park Chorong (20), helps out by advising, “You have to pick up your arms with a bit more power.”

The girls revealed that the mirror that stood before them was both a positive present and a negative poison. It’s only the mirror that will catch the mistakes in their choreography or point out an uneven line-up. Unfortunately, the mirror also disappears when they have to stand on stage, making the girls realize that they can’t just depend on the mirror alone.

-

During their break period, none of the members could be seen resting. Kim Nam Ju (16) stands before a mirror and practices her smiling and other facial expressions while the other members head to their vocal training room for further practice.

Jung Eun Ji and Yoon Bomi (18) both play the role of mentor and student with each other by teaching skills in which the other lacks. As the team’s main vocal, Jung Eun Ji calmly shares her skills with Yoon Bomi, the team’s lead dancer.

In turn, Eun Ji tells Bomi that she “can’t bend her back as well because it hasn’t been that long since she’s begun her dance training.” Bomi returns the favor of Eun Ji’s training by helping her out with her dance.

The members revealed, “We rehearse our choreography over 100 times a day. It’s really hard to dance while singing live, especially since we have to wear high heels on stage. In order to prepare for our debut, we’ve been rehearsing with our high heels on and repeating our choreography.”

-

The seven members also all boast individual charms and stories. Leader Park Chorong was born and raised in Chungwon and has beautiful features, much liker her ’sparkling’ name.

Son Na Eun (17) studied and dreamed of becoming an artist for the past 13 years and holds a youthful charm that makes her look as if she’s just popped out of a comic book. She’s also noted for being the leading female in B2ST’s music videos like “Soom” and “Beautiful“.

Maknae Oh Ha Young (15) is currently in her third year of junior high, but unlike her young age, she has a mature vibe. “Nobody believes that I’m the team’s maknae,” she shyly states. “But there are people that remember me more easily because of my mature looks.”

Jung Eun Ji is nicknamed the ’second Lizzy‘, as she’s from Busan and speaks in their distinctive dialect. Full of aegyo and friendliness, she carries a charm much like that of After School’s Lizzy, making her a shoe-in for future variety shows.

Hong Yoo Kyung (17) claims herself to be a fan of BoA. She first followed her friend to a dance academy and began learning how to dance before she got chosen to become a singer. Thanks to her doll-like looks, she isn’t an unfamiliar face to viewers, as she was a CF model for Korea’s LG Electronics when she was seven.

Yoon Bomi is a third level Tae Kwon Do athlete that once dreamed of representing her country. After discovering her hidden talents in dance during elementary school, however, she switched dreams to becoming a singer.

The girls’ debut track, “I Don’t Know”, was composed by Super Changddai of 2PM’s “I Hate You” fame. The members said, “Lately, girl groups have been coming out with repetitive hooks and powerful dance songs. In contrast to that, we’re aiming to use our innocent, clean image, much like the groups of the 90s like S.E.S. and Fin.K.L.”

When asked if that was their weapon to surviving the girl group rush, Park Chorong replied, “We didn’t intend to go that route, but seeing as how each of our members held that same innocent image, we decided that it’d be best to play it up.”

WOW :luv2
im happy she's in a group where she can show her vocals! and i agree she's absolutely gooooorgeous!! she kinda reminds me of a mix between hyosung and fany! i guess its the eyesmile and haircut :laugh

perfomances:heart they performed wishlist

the music was a bit too loud (esp in Wishlist) but OMGAH IT WAS FLAWLESS .. Best debut stage since Miss A imo

ALSO DID YOU HEAR THE FANCHANTS ? FANCHANTS ON THEIR FIRST PERFORMANCE !

^YESSS! it was amazing:thud
AND ENUJI DID THAT LONG NOTE IN I DON'T KNOW !! :heart

YES EUNJI WAS FLAWLESS :heart ! And like Noura said it's great that she's in this group, they don't autotune their songs and it really shows off her vocals ! She gave me IU flashbacks :laugh

^me too! :laugh if only Mnet mics were better ...
can't wait to see them tomorrow:heart i'll be even better!!

Nice performances, nothing outstanding but really good as for very first live for them. I'm sure they're just going to improve :) I was surprised that three girls did rap, maybe I didn't pay much attention to that part while watching PV :laugh

lol ngl the hand thing they do at the beginning and end looks kinda stoopid :roflmao

BUT OMGGG I LOVED ITT :luv2 :luv2 they sound really good live! especially eunji and the girl with the knot in her hair!!!

hyuna and one of the girls:

AWWWWWW :heart:heart

and doing the spirit fingers together with kiwi XD
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj...3j3mo1_500.jpg

I suspected lip synching through the whole thing tbh.. none of it sounded live. :(
beautiful stage though!

^i think it was live cuz eunji went abit off in the high note :P

Wishlist could be partly lipsynched (refrain), but the rest and I Don't Know were definitely sang live. They sounded weird because of that show's sound system.

Thanks for pics hearted! Girl with the knot in her hair is Bomi, main dancer. Girl hugging Hyuna is Namjoo, I think.

To me it sounds like they sang live (barely, very quietly) over a really heavy backtrack

^^thanks for the names :heart:heart ok so so far i really like eunji and bomi :laugh do you also know the name of the girl @0:56 in the mollayo performance?? i like her too :P

that's chorong (the leader)

Woohooo, yet another new K-pop girl group. Someone with my attention span has no chance of keeping up. :laugh

These girls give me 'Baby Baby/Into the New World era SNSD' vibes... Wishlist is AH-MAY-ZING and so was that performance. :luv2 I think I like them already.

Music Bank

Backstage with ~~my hotties~~ X-5

Namjoo :laugh

Wishlist

I Don't Know

today was great :luv2

like i said in f(x) thread, it was amazing <3 much much better than yesterday:heart

perfect :heart ! I love today's outfits !!

yeah, this one was much better! everything sounded live this time and the outfits were better. Eun Ji did so great! She's like the Taeyeon of this group to me. A couple girls could improve on their live vocals but there definitely wasn't anything really bad sounding. really happy to see they're great performers! sometimes I get into some new girl groups but discover they're really bad live. glad this didn't happen with this group :heart

they need to give naeun's yookyung's and hayoung's lines to bommie and chorong!!!

^ Bomi has enough lines though :laugh

Those weren't shared since they was done before official debut but here you have photos from fantastic photoshoot for High Cut magazine:

so cute.

yeah.. that definitely wasn't live.
the setting & outfits were soo cute though!

Bomi still sings too quietly, I hear more of background music than her actual voice, except her last part.

vocally an improvement from their last live (that was actually live) lol
but the stage is terrible!

They seem so different than what I see out there right now. Love them~

Man, I really like their voices. They're high, light and cute (just the way I like them) but very natural and sincere... they aren't faking it.

im really liking the perfomances <3 and all because of the choreo <3

Soo cute :luv2 !! I love this :heart
