Apink Drops First Teaser for 10th Debut Anniversary Special Song
On April 15, the girl group shared the first teaser image for their upcoming special digital single via their official social media accounts. In the picture, the names of Apink members are written: Park Chorong, Yoon Bomi, Jeong Eunji, Son Naeun, Kim Namjoo, and Oh Hayoung.
The teaser also reveals that Apink's special song for their 10th debut anniversary will be titled "Thank You." And from the looks of it, the track may have a cutesy concept and carries a message full of love for their fans, generally called Pink Panda.
"Thank You" will be Apink's first group release in a year since their mini-album "LOOK," which features the title track "Dumhdurum," in April last year.
This is not the first time that the girl group will launch something special for their debut anniversary. Last year, the sextet dropped a fan video of their B-side song "Moment," which member Chorong wrote for the fans, on their 9th year together.

In November, the six-piece band claimed the "Next Generation Global Star" award at MAMA.
Their fame didn't stop there. In January 2014, they issued their fourth EP, "Pink Blossom." The EP's title track "Mr. Chu" became another best song of Apink. No to mention, "Mr. Chu" is the eighth bestselling digital single in 2014, according to Gaon Chart.
Since then, Apink continued to have successful comebacks with their songs always entering various music charts including Gaon and Billboard, plus they constantly took home music show trophies.
