Apink to release new album in January

Dec. 12 (UPI) -- South Korean girl group Apink will release a new album next month.

The K-pop stars' agency, Plan A Entertainment, confirmed Apink will return Jan. 7 with a followup to their EP One & Six, according to The Korea Herald.

Apink will perform at two concerts, titled "2019 Pink Collection: Red & White," Jan. 5 and 6 prior to releasing the new album. The album's lead track will highlight the group's "girl-crush" charm.

"Apink will return with an even more upgraded 'pink-crush' concept following their last title track 'I'm So Sick,'" Plan A said, according to My Daily.

Xports News said Apink member Chorong had shared plans for the group's comeback at the Melon Music Awards earlier this month.

"It turns out that we'll be making a comeback in January. We're currently working hard at our preparations, and we'll greet you next year with a good song," the singer said.

Apink released One & Six in July. The group is known for such singles as "NoNoNo," "Luv," "Remember" and "Five."
