APINK's 8th concert, 15-year run proves K-pop success is built on talent, not just virality
At its eighth solo concert, 15-year-old girl group APINK did not just celebrate longevity. The veteran five-member act delivered a blunt reminder of what still matters in the K-pop realm — live vocals, sweat onstage and sincerity that cannot be faked. APINK, now comprising members Chorong, Bomi, Eunji, Namjoo and Hayoung, brought "The Origin : APINK" show to Jangchung Arena in central Seoul last weekend, marking the first time a K-pop girl group has reached an eighth standalone concert. The show doubled as the group's 15th anniversary milestone, but it never felt trapped in nostalgia. On Sunday, the closing night of the two-day show, APINK ran through a massive 30-song set backed by a full live band in front of about 5,000 devoted fans. Appearing onstage in glittering pink outfits, the group opened the event with its 2011 debut track “I Don't Know,” instantly pulling the crowd back to the era when APINK first carved out its space in the industry. Fifteen years later, the energy felt less like a throwback and more like a quiet flex. Hits arrived one after another. Tracks like “NoNo

K-pop concert prices double over past decade, fueled by premium tickets
K-pop concert ticket prices have nearly doubled over the past decade, sparking growing frustration among fans. A decade ago, top-tier seats at major idol concerts averaged about 100,000 won, or around $90 at the time. Today, tickets for popular acts typically fall between 150,000 won ($102) and 250,000 won. This dramatic price escalation is evident in the K-pop scene. The most expensive ticket for BTS’ “THE WINGS TOUR” in Seoul in 2017 was 110,000 won, but top-tier seats for the group’s upcoming shows in Korea, starting in April, have risen to 264,000 won. Long-running groups show the same trend. Super Junior sold all seats for their 2016 world tour “SUPER SHOW 6” at 110,000 won, but for the upcoming “SUPER SHOW 10” in April, standing tickets closest to the stage are priced at 198,000 won. Similarly, while standing tickets for APINK’s 2016 concert were 99,000 won, VIP seats for their February show, “The Origin: APINK,” have reached 187,000 won. Across the industry, prices have risen by approximately 100,000 to 150,000 won compared to a decade ago. The sharp rise is
