Commemorating 15 Years of Excellence
Reaching a 15th anniversary is a rare and prestigious feat in the fast-moving K-pop industry.
Apink, who debuted in 2011, has successfully navigated various industry shifts and personal transitions while maintaining their status as “longevity icons.”
This tour is expected to be more than just a series of concerts; it is envisioned as a tribute to their “origins”—hence the title—while showcasing their growth as mature artists.
Fans can expect a setlist that balances their iconic hits like “NoNoNo,” “Mr. Chu,” and “LUV” with their more recent, sophisticated musical offerings.
Recent Comeback and Musical Direction
The tour announcement follows the group’s successful comeback with their EP ‘RE: LOVE’. The title track, “Love Me More,” was praised for its refined production and for highlighting the members’ seasoned vocal abilities.
The promotions for ‘RE: LOVE’ proved that Apink still commands significant attention and remains a “buzzworthy” act, even as they enter their second decade in the spotlight.
The themes of love and gratitude present in the EP are expected to carry over into the “The Origin” tour, creating an emotional and celebratory atmosphere for the live shows.

For newer fans, it is an opportunity to witness a legendary act that helped shape the current landscape of female idol groups.
Industry analysts note that Apink’s ability to sell out tours 15 years into their career is a testament to their brand strength and the loyalty of their fandom.
As the group prepares to hit the road in February, the focus will be on their high-quality live performances and the unique “healing” energy they bring to the stage.
