Apink used to be known for their innocent and cute concepts, but after their song "I'm so sick", and later this song, their sound has massively changed to a more mature, alluring sound. If you want to check out some of their cuter songs, I suggest NoNoNo, Mr. Chu, and Luv (Luv is slightly more mature than the others, but still quite innocent)
STAN APINK. The song is called 'percentage percentage' (% %) because there's a symbol in Korean (응) that looks like a straight % and in their language you pronounce it as 'eung eung' which is a sign of approval, like yes, sure, ok, etc. That's why on the MV they grab the % signs and spin them around. Literally everyone, every fandom loves Apink. Even those who don't stan still like them, it's one of those 2nd gen older groups that you can't just NOT know about.
Korean, 응 meaning Yes, looks similar to % sign, and this movie is making fun with that word as it’s similar to % sign when angled 45’ left side. Just TMI,,, sorry.
Not really, Apink IS 2nd generation! That generation end, doesn't mean group changing generations;) All Debuts after 2013 is 3rd generation until end 2019.....from 2020 4th generation started, so for example Cignature is real first 4th generation girl group, all 2019 debuts on date are still 3rd generation, even if many of them people saying that tey are 4th. Every generation is 7 years.
KallenSC It depends on when you think the generations start and finish. Some people claim the third gen started all the way back in 2010. A lot of people claim that the 4th gen started in 2019, or possibly even before. It’s true that generations changing doesn’t mean a group’s generation changes, but since there is no agreed-upon timeline for the generations, it’s difficult to be certain.
The concept of the MV is that they are building the perfect man. You can see each member holding a body part in their individual scenes and bringing the suit to life in the last scene :)
I’m going to be the like 100th person to tell you this, but you need to react to I’m So Sick, imo one of the best Kpop songs ever...nah one of the best pop songs ever.
Apink is such a legendary girl group. Although most of the recent girl groups do concepts like girl crush more. Girl Groups from the older times usually have concepts like sexy, or innocent and cute. Apink was really one of the only girl groups doing the innocent concept when they debuted. Everyone else at that time was doing the sexy concepts. So they quickly earn a bunch of popularity after Eunji's success on drama Reply 1997 and Naeun's participation in variety show We got married(With Taemin!) . So Ben, if you check their earlier mvs, it is a lot cuter and more uplifting than this retro vibe.
Btw, Jung Eunji, the one with short hair is my bias. She is one of the best female vocalists in kpop industry and such a great actress at the same time. It is kind of sad that she doesn't get the attention she deserves internationally.
I’m so glad you’re finally reacting to Apink MVs! Each one is so beautiful and they kill it vocally every time!! They’re actually one of the few remaining older girl groups next to AOA, EXID, and Girls’ Generation.
Love Apink! Got into them when SHINee's Taemin married Apink's Naeun on the TV married reality show in 2013. Ever since then I've followed and loved their music. BTW Key had a blind date with Eunji...hilarious! Definitely to more reactions to their music and you should also check out old clips of the WGM taemin & Naeun segments...loved it❣
Not sure if you noticed but in the MV they were witchcrafting a "perfect guy" lol. Hence the flying suit. It was transforming cause they put "the soul" in it.
Apink starts off with 7 members, but one left just before they blew up. Apink's Luv is still the song with the most music show wins for a girlgroup at 17 wins. More than 5 years already and no one beat it yet. It won all the music shows in Dec 2014 and is the first song to win 5 consecutive times in Music Core.
Fun fact: Apink are super close with BTOB. It's one of those really rare BG & GG friendships. So as you can imagine, the girls are crackheads too XD Plan A (Apink's company) was called before A CUBE and was a subsidiary of CUBE so the boys trained together with the girls.
Ben, ofc they look so regal. They've been around since 2011. Literally QUEENS OF LONGEVITY. They're celebrating their 10th year next year :D You're stanning a gg with a main vocalist considered as one of the best. Be ready to embrace their much lighter concepts tho bec they only started swerving from their original concept back in 2018 with I'm So Sick (A MUST REACT) BEN PLEASE IF YOU WANT FUNNY VARIETY CONTENT APINK IS THE BEST GG TO WATCH I SWEAR. ♥
You can't even imagine how long I've been waiting for that😍 please react also to Apink - I'm so sick It's such a bop And also to "Luv", "Only one", "Mr. Chu"
Lmao I feel you so much. Eung Eung is my favorite kpop song of all time! I still listen to it everyday even though it came out 3 years ago. It makes me so nostalgic and reminds me of the best experience of my life which was visiting Poland in April 2019 with my friends and teachers (because I listened a lot to eung eung while I was there). I love this song so much and it has a special place on my heart ❤️
Don’t feel too bad about just now discovering them. I never listened to this comeback until December 2019 and it made it all the way into my most played songs of 2019.
Also, related: if you're into watching k-dramas at all, like just for fun on your own time, I would highly highly recommend Trot Lovers - Jung Eun Ji (one of the Apink members) stars in it and she is absolutely phenomenal and it is one of my favorite (probably top 5) kdramas ever (and I've seen like, probably over 100 of them ??? 🙊😅) - she does a lot of singing and her voice is amazing and if you don't know anything about the Trot genre (which is kinda important to know at least a little bit about in the scope of Korean music in general), it's a good way to learn a bit about it
You just joined Billboard in naming Eung Eung as the Kpop song of 2019. Apink are legends in the industry and one of the most long lasting girl groups ever. Their greatest strength IMO is the talent and versatility of the individual members. All act in dramas; all are popular MCs and variety show guests; and most are solo artists. All but the oldest, Chorong, were still in school when they debuted, so they are still relatively young (mid 20s) compared to several popular groups less senior. Eunji, the face of the group, is known for her amazing ability to excel in just about everything she does. She is considered one of Kpop's top vocalists and actresses. Currently, she is doing a DJ gig. Hayoung, the maknae, just finished a solo debut. Bomi (and Eunji) have popular UA-cam channels. Naeun is one of Kpop's top models (her sister is a professional golfer), and Namjoo and Chorong continue to appear on variety shows regularly. Some call the group the fairy idols or SNSD 2.0, and both names fit I think. So welcome to panda world and react to Hush -- one of their earlier songs, but one of their best.
APink is my favorite girl group!! I think you should go back to their debut song "I don't know", start from there and work your way through all of their amazing songs so that you can watch them grow up and mature into who they are now! Apart from their title songs, they also release a fan song (with MVs) every year on their debut anniversary, be sure to react to those too because some of those songs are amazing~ Thanks for doing this!
The reason they are in the Pink Factory(in the beginning of the MV) because they will create their own man. Also the reason why they are holding different parts of the body (chorong-lips, bomi-ears, eunji-blood(i think) naeun-hands namjoo-shoes, hayoung-eyes) is they will create their man. They put them in the water and create the heart in the last part of the mv. I think the heart gives life to create the man. ❤️❤️❤️
Hey, Ben! Today Apink's comeback with their album called "Look" 👀 and their title song called "Dumhdurum". Please support them and react to their songs and MV, we sincerely wait for your reaction😍 maybe you will love it just like you love their another songs😁 Thankyouuu~
yEESSSSS haha I had this on my list of mvs to potentially request if I join your "junkie" tier on patreon - I KNEW you would love it Yes, they are technically Gen 2 lol As for what to react to next from them, I'd recommend "I'm so sick", which is from 2018 and prob closest in style to %% Most of their songs before that fall into one of two main style categories (or somewhere between them/a bit into both): a sort of sweet, innocent, soft girl-next-door concept, often with light colors and in more natural settings; or a kind of bright, bubbly, fun, poppy concept, often with bright colors and more "stylized" settings and props. My favorites of theirs (after %% and I'm so sick) would be NoNoNo, Mr. Chu, Hush, My My, I Don't Know (their debut, which has a special place in my heart because it was the first time I actually really liked an mv with that kind of concept - I really disliked anything with the innocent girl-next-door concept before that, but they pretty much changed my mind with just the one song), and LUV
they debuted under Acube which is a cube entertainment subsidary but now they are under a differwnt company..so basically they are cube family cause once a Cube ent family always a cube family :)💝 cube stan here 😉😉
APink grew up with the release of « I’m So Sick » which I honestly think is even more catchy than this song, if that’s possible. IT’S SO GOOD. I can’t wait to see you react to that one.
So I have seen many different opinions but the basic breakdown in kpop generation is every 7 years bcs most kpop starting contracts are 7 years. The breakdown I was given by a Korean is: 1st gen 1999 - 2005 - 1.5 is 2002 to 2005 2nd gen 2006 - 2012 - 2.5 is 2009 to 2012 3rd gen 2013 - 2019 - 3.5 is 2016 to 2019 4th gen 2020 - 2026 - 4.5 will start 2023.

I truly fall in love with their mature style
Only One was also mature
You need to react to their song from 2018, "I'm so sick", it's just as good as "Eung Eung" in my opinion! Both songs are fantastic.
STAN APINK.
The song is called 'percentage percentage' (% %) because there's a symbol in Korean (응) that looks like a straight % and in their language you pronounce it as 'eung eung' which is a sign of approval, like yes, sure, ok, etc. That's why on the MV they grab the % signs and spin them around.

Thanks. I realized I was mixing it up with 'Aing!' which, from what I understand, is the cute Korean (Aegyo) version of Rawr!
generally they're considered gen 2, so yeah. one of the very few gen 2 ggs who're still so active
Very very few :/
How do we distinguish?
@@Yino_lemmon it's not an exact division, but basically any artist/group that debuted between 2002 - 2011 is considered gen 2.
Greg Hogarth thank you!
Greg Hogarth Really? I seriously thought Block b was gen 3.
Korean, 응 meaning Yes, looks similar to % sign, and this movie is making fun with that word as it’s similar to % sign when angled 45’ left side. Just TMI,,, sorry.
Apink are usually considered 2nd gen. A lot of people consider 2nd gen to end around 2012, although nothing is official, of course.
Thea Bruun yeah, they’re kind of a boarder group
Not really, Apink IS 2nd generation! That generation end, doesn't mean group changing generations;) All Debuts after 2013 is 3rd generation until end 2019.....from 2020 4th generation started, so for example Cignature is real first 4th generation girl group, all 2019 debuts on date are still 3rd generation, even if many of them people saying that tey are 4th.

Thea Bruun Gen 4 absolutely started in 2019.
@@Keralou Nope
Eung eung is one of the best song that came out in 2019, I still don't understand why it is so underrated, I mean... it's tooooo good for my ears !
you NEED to check out i'm so sick by apink !!
ABOUT MF TIME BEN HOW DARE YOU SLEEP ON 2019 SOTY 😭

I recommended to you to react "GET IT" by "PRISTIN V" and "DRIP" by "HINAPIA"
Both very yummy songs
Yassss🖤
Love Apink! Got into them when SHINee's Taemin married Apink's Naeun on the TV married reality show in 2013. Ever since then I've followed and loved their music. BTW Key had a blind date with Eunji...hilarious! Definitely to more reactions to their music and you should also check out old clips of the WGM taemin & Naeun segments...loved it❣
This is my favorite APINK song 💜 Everything about this song is just perfect. Thank you for your reaction 👊
Not sure if you noticed but in the MV they were witchcrafting a "perfect guy" lol. Hence the flying suit. It was transforming cause they put "the soul" in it.
"it's still song of the year 2020" FACTS
Apink late fan here. I strongly recommend you react to" I'm so sick" (if you already did I'm sorry) and "LUV"
This song was hands down my top song of 2019!
Queens Apink 💓
Vocal_Visual Goddesses 👑
Apink starts off with 7 members, but one left just before they blew up. Apink's Luv is still the song with the most music show wins for a girlgroup at 17 wins. More than 5 years already and no one beat it yet. It won all the music shows in Dec 2014 and is the first song to win 5 consecutive times in Music Core.
YES THIS IS SONG OF THE YEAR EVERY YEAR

Don’t feel too bad about just now discovering them. I never listened to this comeback until December 2019 and it made it all the way into my most played songs of 2019.
You should definitely check their debut song, Mollayo. It’s amazing for a debut song, and they snatched all the rookie awards in 2011 :)
Also, related: if you're into watching k-dramas at all, like just for fun on your own time, I would highly highly recommend Trot Lovers - Jung Eun Ji (one of the Apink members) stars in it and she is absolutely phenomenal and it is one of my favorite (probably top 5) kdramas ever (and I've seen like, probably over 100 of them ??? 🙊😅) - she does a lot of singing and her voice is amazing and if you don't know anything about the Trot genre (which is kinda important to know at least a little bit about in the scope of Korean music in general), it's a good way to learn a bit about it

I love me some APink! Thanks, Ben, for feeding me dinner with your reaction.
Hey Babe Thank for loving Apink, They will comback this 13 April so give them a LOOK (their new album) right away ^^
Please react to their songs "five" and "Mr chu" they're my personal favorites besides this :)))
one of my favorite kpop girl group songs in 2019
Apink are legends, eung eung is such an iconic song ITS A BOP
Apink I'm so sick, luv, Mr. Chu and no no no
It has a real 80’s classic film montage scene feel about it - like Karate Kid or something like that - AND I LOVE IT!!
They are the queens of variety shows. They will never failed you to laugh.
I WAS SO READY TO EUNG EUNG TODAY YESSS
FINALLY MY GIIIIRLS! Apink!💖💖

Apink songs are one of the best in the kpop
You have to know there personality, they're so dorky and funny, know as queens of variety shows
The reason they are in the Pink Factory(in the beginning of the MV) because they will create their own man.

Omg. I'm gonna subscribe. I'm a Panda and I love how you react to our fairies, Apink!! Thank you
Exactly about darn time! Hayong, the maknae and Eunji are my biases.
Hey, Ben! Today Apink's comeback with their album called "Look" 👀 and their title song called "Dumhdurum". Please support them and react to their songs and MV, we sincerely wait for your reaction😍 maybe you will love it just like you love their another songs😁 Thankyouuu~

Apink songs legendary
You blew my mind I didn't notice that 1thek on the cars o-o?! Thank u for ur great reaction! Love this song
thanks for the videos today ben!
yess ben checking out apink!! also apink are kinda considered gen "2.5" aka both as they debuted in the transition from 2nd gen to 3rd
Also, Apink (에이핑크) currently consists of 6 members: Chorong, Bomi, Eunji, Naeun, Namjoo and Hayoung.
yEESSSSS haha I had this on my list of mvs to potentially request if I join your "junkie" tier on patreon - I KNEW you would love it
Yes, they are technically Gen 2 lol
As for what to react to next from them, I'd recommend "I'm so sick", which is from 2018 and prob closest in style to %%
Most of their songs before that fall into one of two main style categories (or somewhere between them/a bit into both): a sort of sweet, innocent, soft girl-next-door concept, often with light colors and in more natural settings; or a kind of bright, bubbly, fun, poppy concept, often with bright colors and more "stylized" settings and props.
My favorites of theirs (after %% and I'm so sick) would be NoNoNo, Mr. Chu, Hush, My My, I Don't Know (their debut, which has a special place in my heart because it was the first time I actually really liked an mv with that kind of concept - I really disliked anything with the innocent girl-next-door concept before that, but they pretty much changed my mind with just the one song), and LUV
They debuted on the last year of what is considered gen 2! React to I’m so sick, and nonono perf ver.!!
Its apink power man 🔥
