TIMELINE
The journey
ORIGIN
A Cube's pure concept
2011 — 2012
The cable documentary Apink News filmed the launch, introducing the last two members on air. They debuted as seven in April 2011 on an innocent, girlish image — a deliberate contrast to the sexy concepts around them — and won a first music show with "My My" in January 2012.
DEBUT
NoNoNo & Mr. Chu
2013 — 2014
"NoNoNo" became their highest-charting single and "Mr. Chu" took six music-show trophies. The bubblegum sound was now unmistakably theirs.
Anchor track: Mr. Chu
BREAKTHROUGH
Luv & maturing
2014 — 2018
"Luv" was their first number one on Gaon's weekly and monthly digital charts and swept every music show that December. "Remember" and "I'm So Sick" pushed toward a bolder, more mature sound.
Anchor track: Luv
GLOBAL
Dumhdurum & Naeun's exit
2019 — 2022
"Dumhdurum" peaked at number two and ranked second on Billboard's top K-pop songs of 2020. Naeun stayed through an agency change in 2021 but withdrew in April 2022 to focus on acting.
Anchor track: Dumhdurum
