mother knowing)
She
was slotted as Apink’s main vocalist as soon as she auditioned and

She
had received compliments for her amazing vocals from various idols
such as Brave Girls, SJ’s Heechul, Block B’s Taeil and 2am’s
Jinwoon

about her
Namjoo can speak English and Chinese well.
Namjoo’s mother and sister are fluent in English.
Namjoo can speak better chinese than Naeun although Naeun’s the one who’s actually learning the language.
In “I Don’t Know”, Yookyung and Namjoo can only be seen singing their original lines, in the MV. Their respective lines has been officially swapped ever since their debut stage.
Namjoo actually has all it takes to be considered as A Pink’s 2nd main vocalist.
Namjoo said Naeun seems scary the first time she sees her.
Most of the time, Namjoo may refer herself as “The Queen of Housewives” but in reality, she is actually “The Queen of Midnight Snacks”.

about her
Hayoung is very good at guessing. She was even given the nickname “The Indian Phychic”.
Hayoung likes interviewing inanimate objects; which is the reason why Eunji calls her “4D”.
Hayoung is a fan of Super Junior and her favourite member is Yesung.
When Hayoung was little, she used to have a very close male friend. One day he suddenly confessed his feelings for her which results in Hayoung feeling really upset and cried really hard because she felt like their friendship was over.
Due to Hayoung’s mature physical appearance, many people are suspicious of her age
Hayoung has the ability to split an apple into half by only using her bare hands.

about her
Yookyung
is deathly afraid of dogs and thinks they are scary. But
thanks to BOAF, she overcomed her fear.
Yookyung is the only member that doesn’t share the same blood type with any of the other A Pink members.
Namjoo described Yookyung as an alarm clock that walks since Yookyung lives a very proper lifestyle.
According to Eunji, Yookyung is the cleaness member of Apink.
Yookyung had actually made an unofficial singing debut 5 years ago through a children’s CD and a song called Hae Tae Story.
She’s
fluent in english and is also the group’s english speaker
representative.
She
used to live in USA for quite some time. She became a cheerleader
there.
Yookyung,
Namjoo, Naeun and Boyfriend’s Kwangmin are schoolmates
Apart
from playing piano, viola and baking, Yookyung also enjoys doing
sudoku puzzles She has a huge collection of her sunbaes’ albums;
Wonder Girls, Beast, 4Minute, SNSD, SHINee, 2PM, GNa, Super Junior.
Yookyung’s
audition song is Take A Bow (Rihanna)
✿✿✿APINK
FACTS✿✿✿
The name “A Pink” was just a temporary name given to the group, but since it has been spread widely across the internet, their company’s staffs decided to officially use it.
During 110509 radio broadcast of Younha’s “Starry Night”, Younha asked each of the girls to pick a favourite member from Block B. None of the girls answered anyone because they were trained and told earlier by their manager to say “I don’t know” everytime questions regarding men are asked (to prevent scandals)
APink was surprised to the fact that they are more popular among the girl students compared to male students.Their dorms were also proven to have similar features,3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a marble flooring.
All Apink members appeared on B2ST Beautiful MV except Eunji.
All members have their real names as their stage names except Eunji.
Apink is more active on Wagle than Twitter.
Members appeared on We Got Married Taemin and Naeun together with all 12 members of EXO.
Apink is known for their cute and innocent concept.
8 out of 12 members of EXO chose Apink over Girls' Day
Teen Top Chunji chose Apink as the girlgroup he wants to be close with
Infinite Woohyun is collecting Apink's album (shown by Sungyeol in Infinite Sesame Player)
Apink's fans are called Pink Panda/Panda (I guess their fandom is the cutest fandom in Kpop Industry)
