I'm here to wish my beloved kid leader of A Pink 에이핑크 a happy belated birthday! Her name is Park Cho Rong (Korean:박초롱, Chinese: 朴初珑), better known as Chorong.
She turns 24 in the year 2015 (25 in Korean age). As the eldest member of A Pink, she is put in charge of the group as the leader. I consider her a motherly figure of the group, always taking care of the members and fans. We affectionately call her Rong Mama (literally, Mother Rong) for being a mother of Pandas.
She's 24 now, but I like that she's kinda never grows up. That's why I call her a kid leader besides Girls' Generation's Kim Tae Yeon. Her leadership style? She leads by nagging. Will she turn into a nagging mom? Hahaha.
There are six members in A Pink, and telling one member's voice apart is a challenge for the uninitiated. Chorong's voice is easily recognized with her trademark babyish voice. She doesn't get a lot of lines in songs, but when she sings you'll immediately know it's her.
She has a heart for fans like me. Read how Chorong teared up at a fan signing event.
This is a pre-debut photo of our kid leader. Cute as always! I'm glad to have you as my idol.
