Eunji’s original dream was to be a vocal coach. Eunji is the only Apink member who did not appear on BEAST’s (now called HIGHLIGHT) ‘Beautiful’ music video. Eunji’s impressive vocals have been complimented by many idols, such as Super Junior’s Heechul, 2AM’s Jinwoon, and Block B’s Taeil. Eunji took two months of free Taekwondo lessons behind her mom’s back. Eunji seldom sees her father because he works at a contractor company overseas. Eunji confessed in an interview that her family was in a lot of debt, so when she was finally able to settle it entirely, Eunji cried and hugged her mother. Eunji ran into her dad by chance at the airport on 27 April 2017, when she was flying to Los Angeles for a performance. Eunji’s father had just returned to Korea from his business trip. As a daughter, Eunji insisted on helping her father with his luggage, but her father insisted that he did not want to interrupt his daughter’s work, so he asked Eunji to check-in first. Eventually, Eunji did go to check-in first, but came back soon afterwards to help her father. Shortly after that, the other five Apink members greeted Eunji’s father, and when the time came for Eunji and her father to part, both of them looked really reluctant. Eunji’s first love was a boy from her school who sat behind her and had good grades in the school subjects. Eunji had the stage fright due to trauma during childhood. At that time, Eunji’s teacher at school had told her to sing, but she could not memorize the lyrics, and her friends laughed at her. After getting a session of hypnosis therapy, which was recorded on the third and fourth episodes of Apink News Season 3, Eunji has regained her confidence and can sing on stage proudly. On 28 September 2016, Eunji revealed that there are a lot of fans who call her ‘hyung’ or ‘oppa’ (terms which refer to an older man). On one of those occasions, Eunji was in front of the Plan A Entertainment building when suddenly, a girl behind her called out “Eunji oppa!” Eunji assumed she misheard and kept walking, but the girl call Eunji ‘oppa’ again. As a result, Eunji turned her head and said, “Me?” and the girl replied, “Yes oppa.” Eunji then said, “But I am a girl” and the girl replied cooly, “Yes I know, oppa“. Lol, such a cheeky fan! Eunji’s hobbies are imagining music videos, and playing the piano. Eunji mentions singing all the time as her worst habit. Eunji’s favorite number is 25. Eunji’s favorite colors are blue, green, and red. Eunji’s favorite food is meat, and anything her mother cooks.

Are BTS’s V and Apink’s Eunji Dating?
While this couple is considered perhaps one of the most random pairings ever been shipped by a shipper (people who want celebrities or fictional characters to be a real couple), we believe that both BTS’s V and Apink’s Eunji are linked only because of their stable popularity among Korean and international fans. As we know, BTS is the only Asian artist who won a Billboard Music Award, so it is to be expected that its members, including V, garners the interest of fans who like to ship their idol with either the same or opposite gender idols. As for our star in this article, Eunji, she is one of the most popular members of Apink, so it is inevitable that she will be shipped with many boy group members, including BTS’s V. Thus, we conclude that the rumor that BTS’s V and Apink’s Eunji are dating is nowhere near the truth, as their pairing is only created by the fans who ship them.
How Popular is Apink’s Eunji?
As has been emphasized several times inthe previous sections of this article, Eunji is deemed the most famous member of her group, as she often appears on variety shows, singing competition shows, and television dramas on both public and cable networks. Known as an easy going girl who always gives off positive vibes, Eunji is certainly likable so it is no wonder her fans are not only limited to Pink Pandas (the name of the Apink fan club) but also other groups’ fans, and the general public who do not even really know celebrities. Eunji is a down-to-earth hard worker, so she definitely deserves such a good reputation, don’t you think, dear readers?
