Apink is confirmed to be gearing up for a full-group comeback early next year. On November 17, a representative told Dispatch that the group will release a new album in January 2026.
The official explained that Apink will soon mark its 15th anniversary, and that Chorong, Bomi, Eunji, Namjoo, and Hayoung plan to promote together as a five-member team in the new year.
This comeback follows a string of group activities throughout 2025. In April, Apink released their 14th-anniversary single “Tap Clap.” They also spent the year meeting fans in Asia with their “2025 Apink Seventh Concert Pink New Year” tour. They visited Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Recently, the members appeared in a web reality show titled “Apink’s Member Remember” on Mnet’s YouTube channel. The show highlighted the group’s long-running teamwork and close friendship.
Chorong, Bomi, Namjoo, and Hayoung are now under With Us Entertainment, which announced in July that it had signed the four members to exclusive contracts. The company said it would support both their group and solo activities. Eunji, who had previously remained with IST Entertainment, signed with Billions.
Before joining With Us, the four members had briefly been with Choi Creative Lab after their departure from IST in 2023. With the new setup in place, both agencies have expressed support for Apink’s full-group promotions.
During an interview with CNA, Chorong said the biggest reason for their longevity is “meeting our members,” and shared that they all “make a lot of effort and show consideration to understand each other.”
Furthermore, Bomi talked about how their musical direction changed as they matured, saying they wanted to “show a different side of Apink.”
Apink is also preparing for the release of their 2026 Season’s Greetings “THE PINK TALE,” set to come out on December 12, 2025. Fans are looking forward to the new album as Apink enters its 15th anniversary year with all five members ready to promote together once again.
