Image and musical style
Apink's image and music style are often compared to first-generation idol girl groups S.E.S. and Fin.K.L.[88][89] Apink is known for their innocent image, unusual among girl groups' sexy concepts.[90][91] In 2012, member Oh Ha-young said, "Other girl groups these days tend to highlight their dancing skills and sexy looks, but our concept was an innocent and pure image. I think that's why the audience felt comfortable with us."[92] Their 2014 song, "Luv", shows a more mature side to the group but still retains their trademark innocence.[93]
Apink's music generally fits within the bubblegum pop genre.[40] Jeff Benjamin of Billboard commented that "NoNoNo" was influenced by 1980s synth-pop and "Luv" recalls 1990s hip-hop.[94]
