The group Apink proudly showed off the team's survival skills and close teamwork with their characteristic cheerful banter.
On the 9th, in the "Apink COMEBACK" special video released on the YouTube channel Zzanbro, the members candidly revealed the secret to being a long-running group more than 10 years since debut.
That day the members drew attention by saying "we still do ventriloquism." They explained it became a habit naturally because there are many fancams at events and the like. They added, "There was no particular reason; it happened as we kept doing it."
They went on to jokingly describe themselves as "we're a cockroach group," drawing laughter. "Our survival ability is outstanding. No matter who hits us, we seem like we would survive," they said. They said they once had the nickname "gopdeung pink," adding, "It meant long-lived vitality, but the image wasn't good." In response, Shin Dong-yeob said, "Then let's go with lizard," and Jeong Eun-ji retorted, "Komodo," provoking roars of laughter.
The members' hidden athletic abilities were also revealed. Park Cho-rong said she is a third-degree hapkido black belt, Yoon Bo-mi said she is a third-degree taekwondo black belt, Jeong Eun-ji said she does boxing, and Oh Ha-young said she plays futsal and women's soccer, hinting at the secret behind their "charisma that comes from how they speak." When Ha-young and Nam-joo said, "we're crushed," Jeong Eun-ji replied, "you're the scariest," adding to the laughter.
Cho-rong said, "These days the younger members are honest, which is nice to see. They use honorifics but say what they want," describing the team atmosphere. She added, "Now we each know each other's tendencies, so it's comfortable."
Shin Dong-yeob joked, "ChatGPT said you're a team that will never disband going forward. They're still a money-making team," and the members laughed and said, "Our goal is to be the longest-running girl group." "In the beginning we thought we wouldn't bond because our personalities were different, but as we aged we've adjusted to each other. It feels like we're becoming one circle," they said, adding sincerely, "I'm thankful we can be together until now."
