Hong Yoo Kyung

Hong Yoo Kyung (홍유경) belongs to Apink's origin story in a way few short-run members do. She debuted with the group on April 19, 2011 for Seven Springs of Apink, which means her face is part of the exact lineup that introduced one of second-generation K-pop's defining long-game girl groups.

Her active idol chapter ended early in 2013, but the name never disappeared from the fandom map. Hong Yoo Kyung still comes up whenever fans revisit Apink's first era, trace the group's lineup history, or look back at how the debut roster shifted before the team settled into its better-known later run.

That legacy surfaced again in 2026 when coverage around Yoon Bomi and With US Entertainment-linked wedding reports noted Hong Yoo Kyung's attendance. The detail mattered because it reconnected the current moment to Apink's earliest bonds instead of treating her as a forgotten footnote.
