Jung Eun-ji was the fourth member revealed through A Cube's Twitter through a video of her singing a rendition of Jennifer Hudson's "Love You I Do". Hong Yoo-kyung was similarly revealed through an online video where she was playing the piano. Yoon Bo-mi and Kim Nam-joo were the last members to be revealed through Twitter.

A Pink released their Japanese debut single album, NoNoNo on October 22, 2014. Yoon Bomi and Kim Namjoo formed a sub-unit called Apink BnN, and released a single, "My Darling", in June 2014, produced by Brave Brothers."My Darling" was later included on Pink Luv, the fifth extended play of A Pink. Their fifth Korean EP, Pink Luv, was released on November 24, 2014.

On July 18 2014, A Pink announced their 'APINK NEW LOGO CONTEST' to changes their old logo.

Among the entries, a new logo has been chosen and finally unveiled through A Pink's Facebook on August 19 2014. The new logo of A Pink is designed by Song Hye Min. It is simple but pretty which represents the innocent and pure image of A Pink members.
