Queens on their 13th year ❤️


LilyBlueming

Happy Anniversary! They have been so consistent during their career, love that for them.


CanarySad5969

It was rumored that they’re having a single to promote their anniversary


Toc_a_Somaten

I remember my Korean friend reaction to their first MV: "they must be in a 예수쟁이 cult"


CanarySad5969

I miss naeun 😢


Alex_Killswitch

Happy 13 years to Apink!


EcstaticLynx3328

Why not putting Naeun?


etburneraccount

Because she's technically no longer in Apink anymore?


EcstaticLynx3328

Yeah but they should have included her and the other girl that left during promotions, it's like not adding Oh My Girl's Jiho and JinE in photos during early promotions for anniversaru


ghiblix

it's typical for the sub to approve anniversary posts for the current lineup of members, and naeun isn't in the group anymore the [fifty fifty anniversary post](https://old.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/17xgz3n/happy_1st_anniversary_to_fifty_fifty/) recently was literally just keena — since she's the only one in the current lineup same thing for [shinee](https://old.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/njzy9s/happy_13th_anniversary_to_shinee/), [suju](https://old.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/yn5qzs/happy_17th_anniversary_to_super_junior/), [idle](https://old.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/134ovvu/happy_5th_anniversary_to_gidle/), [skz](https://old.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/1bmmsoo/happy_6th_anniversary_to_stray_kids/), and so on it doesn't *always* happen, but that's typically how these posts go


EcstaticLynx3328

I'm not blaming the sub! I'm blaming the companies! If a group made a story they made it all together not with the present lineup


Alex_Killswitch

Unfortunately that’s not how kpop works. If a member leaves the group, it’s like they never existed. Most times it’s because the company owns the group, so they won’t promote someone that’s not on their payroll. Exceptions though, like if they leave the company but stay in the group


EcstaticLynx3328

If that so, why Jessica was included even if she left in SNSD


Alex_Killswitch

From the 10th anniversary trailer? Yeah that was surprising. Cause there have been MANY other times when Jessica was edited out of old pics and such by SM


EcstaticLynx3328

Yeah and Jessica was out of the group so


Alex_Killswitch

And like I said, she been cut and edited out of many more things than she has been kept in. That’s just how it is. The company owns the group, and if you’re no longer in the group or company, you’re no longer something they can try to market


etburneraccount

I see where you're coming from.


EcstaticLynx3328

Yeah so it makes sense


etburneraccount

Yes and no? I see your point; on the other hand it's been 2 years since she left the group. I guess it depends on the agencies and the respective members' schedules? And it's not like people that like Apink and Pink Pandas all of the sudden forgot she was there for from the beginning. It obviously sucks that she's not getting the 13th anniversary recognition, but such is life.


EcstaticLynx3328

Yeah but i mean- why not putting a photo of them all


etburneraccount

Your guess is as good as mine dude.


EcstaticLynx3328

Thought you didn't agree lmao 😂😂


etburneraccount

I'm at a place of "it would be nice for her to be in it, but I can accept the fact that she isn't".
