Apink's Bomi Heads to Taiwan 36 Days Before Her Wedding

Apink's Yoon Bomi touched down in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on April 11, 2026, for the latest stop on the group's eighth concert tour — just 36 days before she walks down the aisle. The singer, actress, and variety show favorite is set to marry composer Rado on May 16 at Grand Hyatt Seoul, but that milestone has done nothing to slow her schedule. If anything, the timing tells you everything about who Bomi is as a performer.

For Apink, this Taiwan date is part of "The Origin: APINK", the most ambitious Asia tour the quintet has mounted in recent years. It is also, unmistakably, a celebration — the group marks its 15th anniversary this year, a lifespan that puts it among the most enduring acts in second-generation K-pop. The Kaohsiung Music Center show on April 11 follows sold-out nights in Seoul, Taipei, Macau, and Singapore, with Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, and Manila still to come.

A Love Story Written Into the Music

The story of Bomi and Rado is, at its core, a K-pop love story told backwards. They did not fall for each other in a coffee shop or on a drama set — they met in a recording studio, in 2016, when Rado's production duo Black Eyed Pilseung joined the Apink team to work on the group's third studio album Pink Revolution. The album's title track, "Let Me Flutter," became one of the defining songs of Apink's discography, and somewhere in the process of making it, Bomi and Rado began building something of their own.

By 2017, the two were quietly dating. For seven years they kept their relationship private — an extraordinary feat in an industry where even the faintest rumor triggers immediate speculation. The couple went public in April 2024 when the news finally broke, and fans who had watched Bomi perform for over a decade found themselves processing a side of her they had never quite seen before. The reaction, on balance, was warm.

On December 18, 2025, Bomi posted a handwritten letter to the official Apink fan cafe, Pink Panda, confirming her engagement. The tone was characteristic of who she is — thoughtful, direct, and genuinely personal. "I decided to spend my future with someone who has shared my daily life through joyful and difficult times," she wrote. She also made her intentions about her career unmistakably clear: "I will repay with better activities as both Apink and Yoon Bomi." In February 2026, the wedding date and venue were formally announced. May 16. Grand Hyatt Seoul. Bomi will become the first Apink member to marry.

Rado, whose real name is Song Joo-young, is 42 years old and one of the most trusted producers in the Korean entertainment industry. Through Black Eyed Pilseung, he has composed numerous tracks for Apink, including fan favorites "I'm So Sick" and "Dumhdurum." The couple's nine-year journey from creative collaborators to life partners has struck a deep chord with fans who have followed both careers closely.

The Origin: APINK — A Tour 15 Years in the Making

For Apink, 2026 was always going to be significant. Fifteen years after their 2011 debut under Play M Entertainment, the five members — Chorong, Bomi, Eunji, Naeun, and Hayoung — are still actively touring Asia, releasing music, and connecting with a fanbase that has stayed remarkably loyal through the full arc of K-pop's global expansion.

The "The Origin: APINK" tour kicked off in Seoul in February with back-to-back shows, before the group took its anniversary concert across Asia. The full schedule reads like a testament to the reach Apink has built over the years:

• Seoul — February 21–22
• Taipei — March 7
• Macau — March 21–22
• Singapore — April 4
• Kaohsiung — April 11, Kaohsiung Music Center
• Hong Kong — April 19
• Kuala Lumpur — May 3
• Manila — May 10

The Kaohsiung date drew fans with tickets priced between NT$1,600 and NT$5,800. Apink has maintained a strong following in Taiwan throughout their career, and the island has consistently turned out enthusiastic crowds for second-generation K-pop acts. This visit was no different.

The tour is tied to the group's recent EP RE: LOVE, released ahead of the anniversary year, featuring the upbeat title track "Love Me More." The record is a self-aware look back at the sound that made Apink famous — bright, emotionally direct, and layered with pop craftsmanship that ages well. If the Seoul shows were any indication, the Asia dates have given Apink a stage to reflect on how much ground they have covered and to perform for fans who have covered it with them.

36 Days and Counting — A Promise Kept in Kaohsiung

There was something quietly pointed about the images of Bomi at Incheon International Airport on April 10, suitcase in hand, boarding the flight for Taiwan. She was, by any reasonable count, 36 days from her wedding. The Korean press caught the moment, as it always does with Apink departures, but the framing shifted noticeably — this time headlines were already noting her status as a "May bride," a phrase that in Korean entertainment journalism carries a particular warmth.

The optics matter because they echo exactly what Bomi put in her engagement letter. She promised more, not less. She said she would continue as both a member of Apink and as Yoon Bomi the solo entertainer, and the Kaohsiung show is that promise made visible. Two months into the tour, with a wedding at the finish line, she is still taking the stage.

For longtime fans, this moment also lands in the context of a group that has, at various points, had to prove its staying power. Second-generation K-pop acts face a structural challenge that newer groups do not: the industry moved on, the fan demographics shifted, and discovery pipelines increasingly favor acts that debuted in the last five years. Apink responded not by chasing trends but by leaning harder into what they do — recording music that sounds deliberately like themselves and touring markets where their name still fills seats.

What Comes Next

After Kaohsiung, the tour moves to Hong Kong on April 19, then returns to Southeast Asia for shows in Kuala Lumpur on May 3 and Manila on May 10. The Manila date falls just six days before Bomi's wedding, meaning she will likely be flying back to Seoul with a concert under her belt and a ceremony days away.

Whether Apink has further tour stops planned beyond Manila has not been officially confirmed, though the group's original announcement hinted at "and more" dates to come. Given the demand this run has generated and the strength of Apink's following across Southeast Asia and Japan, additional shows would not be surprising.

For Bomi specifically, the months ahead represent a convergence of everything she has built: the group that launched her career in 2011 is celebrating its 15th year, the man she met in the studio is becoming her husband, and the fans who followed both stories are watching it all come together. The Taiwan departure was, in miniature, a preview of how she intends to handle all of it — with a schedule that does not slow down and a dedication that apparently does not either.
