Yoon Bo-mi, a member of the popular K-pop girl group APINK, delighted fans on January 9 by announcing her engagement during a special appearance on KBS2's "Fun-Staurant." This moment marked a dual celebration as it coincided with the group's 15th anniversary since their debut.

According to a report by Chosun Ilbo, Yoon, known for her charming personality, introduced herself on the show, saying, “I’m Yoon Bo-mi from APINK.” Her appearance was met with astonishment, especially from Chef Lee Yeon-bok, who expressed surprise at the milestone of the group's 15 years in the industry.

The highlight of the broadcast came when Boom, a fellow entertainer, congratulated Yoon on her upcoming marriage, saying, “And there’s more good news.” Caught off guard, Yoon playfully responded, “What news is that?” igniting laughter in the studio. Han Bo-ram, another guest, chimed in with disbelief, asking, “Surely it’s not marriage? Is it really marriage?”

Boom continued, “This is something everyone should celebrate. I’m so happy to be able to congratulate you directly on the broadcast with this news.” Yoon, overwhelmed by the heartfelt congratulations, shyly clapped her hands and bowed her head in gratitude, marking a joyous moment for her and her fans.

This announcement comes on the heels of APINK's successful eighth solo concert, "The Origin: APINK," held at Jangchung Arena in Seoul on December 21 and 22, 2025. This concert was historic, as it marked the first time a girl group had staged an eighth standalone concert, celebrating their enduring popularity and talent. Every concert date sold out quickly, highlighting their strong fanbase.

During the concert, APINK performed a 30-song setlist that included hits like "I Don't Know," "NoNoNo," "Five," "I'm So Sick," and their latest release, "Love Me More." The atmosphere was electrifying, with approximately 5,000 fans singing along and cheering, creating a festival-like vibe.

Yoon Bo-mi expressed gratitude to their fans, stating, "Preparing the songs from our early debut days brought back so many memories. Thank you to the Pink Pandas who have allowed us to keep promoting steadily for 15 years." Other members echoed her sentiments, emphasizing the importance of their fans in their continued success.

APINK's latest album, "RE:LOVE," released on January 5, 2026, features the title track "Love Me More." This album marks the beginning of their 15th-anniversary activities and has already received enthusiastic support globally. The album includes tracks that explore themes of love and healing, reinforcing their message of positivity.

As Yoon Bo-mi prepares for her wedding to music producer Ra Do in May 2026, fans are eager to see how this new chapter in her life will influence her artistry and the group's future endeavors. APINK's commitment to their craft and their fans remains steadfast, as they continue to define their legacy in the K-pop industry.

The announcement of Yoon Bo-mi's marriage and the celebration of APINK's 15 years in the industry serve as a reminder of the group's resilience and connection to their fans. With their upcoming concert tour across Asia, including stops in Taipei City and Singapore, APINK is set to continue their legacy of heartfelt performances and memorable moments.
