This statement is one of the reasons why Chorong is my favourite leader. Her sincerity, guidance, honesty and positive attitude. This is also why I believe Apink will be one of the longest active groups/artists Kpop has ever known.
"The end of the year festival was meant to celebrate the album that Apink has worked on throughout the year as well as the albums that the other artists have worked hard on this year. Instead, Apink and our fans were subjected to an unfortunate incident in this festival. Because of this, I contemplated a lot about what to write…This isn’t the first time an unfortunate incident like this has happened to us.
Throughout our career, we prepared many performances. During the preparation stage, there have been many instances when we felt frustrated, similar to yesterday’s events. I’ve held it in for years, and during yesterday’s events, my frustration just snowballed and I lost it. I’m not even the type of person who would normally express her frustrations out loud…so Pandas, I’m really sorry to have surprised you.
Saying that it’s been smooth sailing over the years would have been a lie, because occasionally there have been things that have saddened us. Given the circumstance, the time we have been given to perform have been limited. In addition, we aren’t always guaranteed the stage directions and equipment that we initially wanted. However, even in those circumstances, we will always perform to the best of our abilities and prepare the stage with a hardworking mindset. We want to give fans who came to support us a memorable performance every single time.
People say that idols have a short lifespan. I personally don’t understand this theory, and it’s very hurtful every single time someone brings it up. There is a trend in music. Of course, it’s up to the individual to choose what kind of music they like. However, the fact that a group’s identity as an ‘idol’ is somewhat fixed is a bit saddening.
For Apink, even if in the future we only have a small number of fans, we want to continue to make music for all the people who sincerely love our songs…for a very, very long time. That’s why, ever since our debut days, we’ve always aspired to be a long lasting group, and for nine years we ran towards this goal.
I don’t want to receive any special treatments just because we are a senior group. Even without special treatment, Apink is content and will always stand happily on stage.
As time goes on, each stage becomes more valuable to us and because of that this incident became even more upsetting. I’m sorry…It doesn’t matter how long or short our performance is, when we stand on stage, the stage is filled with with the efforts of so many people. The length of the performance is NOT what’s important. If it’s a short performance, then it’s short. If it’s a long performance, then it’s long.
However, that stage is filled with the efforts of the artists and dancers. The amount of time we’ve planned each choreo. the amount of practice that goes into perfecting that performance: it’s a performance that we’ve made together. It is a stage that should be cherished and respected by all.
All we can do now is to focus on our performances on our own stages, as we were unable to deliver what we wanted yesterday. I hope that other artists and their fans are not mentioned any longer. Let’s all be people who are overflowing with kindness during the end of the year. I’m deeply sorry that this incident has caused our fans to be upset. Let’s all continue to work even harder, Pandas! Don’t be upset anymore and let’s spend the rest of the year happily! I will continue to work hard to fill your 2020 with good news. Always thankful, and always sorry to you our Pandas!
P.S. Let's have fun at our concert!!"
TLDR; Chorong once more apologises to Pandas for the unfortunate incident at KBS. Shes states that regardless of the length of time given to them to perform, alot of people work very hard on the performance to give the best possible stage they can. It's not anyone's fault (the artists) how long they receive to perform and wants Pandas to not worry about the short time Apink had for a Senior. She doesn't want special treatment just because they are Senior. As all stages for Apink are valuable and precious and they will always give their all when performing. She also doesn't like the stigma given to an idol's "short lifespan". Apink is a 9-year old group and will continue happily for a long, long time even if they only had a few fans. To finish her statement she positively looks forward to next year together and asks fans to look forward to Apink's own concerts etc!
