Apink’s viral 2015 manager dances with members again in recent video

Apink's famous manager has danced on-screen with the members once again!

On an online forum, netizens reacted to a recent short form clip uploaded on Apink's official platforms, featuring Hayoung, Bomi, Chorong, as well as their manager. This is the same manager who unexpectedly gained attention back in 2015 when he stepped in to dance the group’s choreography for "Remember" in place of member Eunji, who was unable to make it to the stage at the time.

This 2015 video went viral on YouTube, with many domestic and international viewers remembering the incident regardless of whether they were Apink fans.

At the time, the male manager was praised for performing the choreography far better than expected, earning compliments for his strong dance skills and his ability to blend naturally into the group’s formation.

Now, in 2026, the manager has reappeared on screen, this time knowingly dancing alongside the members to their latest song "Love Me More."

Netizens commented that the manager’s dance skills "have not gone anywhere" and are "still alive," applauding his ability and natural talent for continuing to dance so well.

Adding a touch of humor, the manager wore Eunji’s name tag in this recent video, mirroring the 2015 moment. By the end of the clip, however, the real Eunji appears and playfully pushes the manager out of the frame to reclaim her spot.

Under the clip, Eunji also jokingly left a comment on Instagram, writing, "This oppa is still after my position".

Reactions include:

"Still dances well LOLLLL."

"Wow, he’s really good."

"Wow, his dance lines are insane."

"I heard he’s from a dance club background. He’s not Apink’s manager right now, but he came by during the comeback and seems like he filmed this then LOL."

"Was he a trainee or a dancer? Back then and now, that’s not a regular person’s dance line."

"Back then he seemed shy and embarrassed, probably because staff were staring so hard, but now he dances properly from the start LOL, enjoying it LOL. He still dances well."

"He dances like a dancer. He’s really good."

"Is he filling in for Eunji again lol."

"He’s not half-a**ing it, he’s dancing with a sense of ownership LOL."
