Let’s spend even more time together and be even, even happier in future!

“You know that we’re good at keeping promises right? That’s why. Don’t worry and you just have to be a PANDA in future will do,” Eunji wrote. “There won’t be any upsetting matters. The members will go live in a bit! We’ll talk more then!”

“Our PANDAs must have been shocked right..? Sorry for causing you to worry!” Namjoo wrote. “But I really, honestly wanted to quickly tell you that the fact that us ‘Apink’ will not change.”

Finally, maknae Hayoung wrote a hopeful message. “We will show you more sides of us, instead of using words so let’s make even more memories! Together!! Thank you, and I love you.”
