On March 22, IST Entertainment announced that Apink will release a fan song in April to commemorate the 11th anniversary of their debut. It will be their first music release in about two months since their 10th-anniversary special album "HORN" arrived this past February.
Last year, Apink dropped a special song, titled "Thank You," as a gift to their fans and in celebration of their 10th debut anniversary.

Since their debut on April 19, 2011, the six-member girl group never fails to release a fan song for their debut anniversary. This goes to show how much they love the fans, who are collectively called Pink Panda.
What makes Apink's new fan song more special is that the members found time to prepare it despite their busy individual activities.
Concerning the Apink members who will participate in the upcoming track, IST Entertainment didn't mention whether all six of them will take part. It appears like fans would have to wait for further updates.
Apink debuted in April 2011 with their first EP "Seven Springs of Apink," which features the title song "I Don't Know." They have since seen success in every comeback they made, leaving numerous mega-hit songs in the K-pop scene, such as "Mr. Chu," "NoNoNo," "I'm so sick," "LUV," "My My," "Remember," and more.
