Image and musical style

[edit]
Apink at a fan event, 2014

Apink's image and music style are often compared to first-generation idol girl groupsS.E.S.andFin.K.L.[147][148]Apink has an innocent and girlish image, unusual among girl groups' sexy concepts.[149][150]In 2012, youngest member Hayoung stated, "Other girl groups these days tend to highlight their dancing skills and sexy looks, but our concept was an innocent and pure image. I think that's why the audience felt comfortable with us".[151]However, releases like 2014's "Luv" and 2015's "Remember" showed a more mature and sensitive side to the group while still retaining their trademark innocence.[152]

Apink's music generally fits within thebubblegum popgenre, with signature cheery lyrics.[43]Jeff Benjamin ofBillboardcommented that "My My" recalled early 2000s bubblegum pop, "NoNoNo" was influenced by 1980ssynth-popand "Luv" recalls 1990ship-hopwhile blending it with ballad melancholy, a fall-themed song of lost love.[153]"Mr. Chu", released in spring 2014, continues Apink's trademark bubblegum series which is 'very Apink'.[154][155][unreliable source?]Meanwhile, title track "Remember" is a 'cheery synth-pop tune that reminisces about a love during the summertime,' and 'features a quick rhythm and vintage sound to beat the summer heat,'.[156][157]Their 2016 title track, "Only One" is described as mature, blending in mid tempo R&B and dance-pop with subtle hip-hop beats while song like "Boom Pow Love" shows a far more urban-pop, energetic vibe with pulsing beats compared to their previous hits.[158][159]

With the release of 2018's "I'm So Sick", Apink showed a shift in their style of music, moving towards a more mature and sophisticated sound. The track, with its use ofautotune,synthandhousebeats, and its lyrical content of having 'not even one' bit of feeling left for an ex, makes "I'm So Sick" a much bolder track than what Apink is known to put out.[160]2019's "%%(Eung Eung)" does much of the same. Its use of 'fizzy synths, snapping beats, and slapping percussion as the members sing about the type of person one should love' makes "%%(Eung Eung)" another song that is a departure from much of Apink's earlier work.[161]
