2026 Apink Asia Tour The Origin: Apink In Singapore
Apink seem to have taken a liking to the Lion City of late.
The K-pop girl group will hold their fourth concert here at Arena @ Expo on April 4, slightly over a year after their last one at the same venue in February 2025. They held their first Singapore solo concert at The Max Pavilion in 2015, another one at Kallang Theatre in 2016, and a mini-concert and fan meeting at MegaBox Convention Centre @ Big Box that same year. The five members are Chorong, Bomi, Eunji, Namjoo and Hayoung.
Since their 2011 debut, the group have matured, putting out the sophisticated dance track Dumhdurum (2020) and slick synth-pop number I’m So Sick (2018). Still, fans will remember the infectious joy of their earlier songs such as NoNoNo (2013).
Apink are expected to perform these hits and more at their latest show. The set list spans the group’s entire discography, and will likely include tracks from their latest five-track EP, Re: Love, released in January. Sweetly girlish opening number Love Me More has been played more than five million times on Spotify and will likely make the cut.
Where: Arena @ Expo, 9 Somapah Road
MRT: Expo
When: April 4, 7pm
Admission: $198 to $288 via Sistic (go to sistic.com.sg or call 6348-5555)

It might surprise some that Kim Jae-joong has never held a solo concert in Singapore, despite debuting in 2003.
The South Korean singer-actor is taking his first step to change that with his fan concert here on March 28. The show will have elements of a fan meeting too, such as games, interviews and sharing sessions.
Kim was a member of K-pop boy bands TVXQ from 2003 to 2010, and JYJ from 2009 to 2012. After that, he carved out a successful solo career with rock-pop numbers such as Mine (2013) and Just Another Girl (2013). He is currently part of South Korean duo JX, with Kim Jun-su, also a former member of TVXQ and JYJ.
Kim Jae-joong’s celestial-themed show titled Galaxy 1986, after his birth year, traces his artistic journey and will be filled with performances that reflect his evolution as an artiste and storyteller.
