she's got that fierce look!!!! Her eyes resemble Nana hahaha!
i hope she's a fierce performer too..AS gotta bring that back :)

^she looks amazing in that pic!

she looks very fierce 0_o wow! X)

Oh she looks very beautiful in this picture (imo the other picture wasn't really flattering).

she looks so japanese, i can't wait to hear her voice

Yeah, she looks fierce <3 can't wait to see what she brings to the table :yes.

I hope the "Ka" in "Kaeun" brings her traces of Kahi's fierceness ahhahah

Yes i hope she brings the performance back to the group.

and actually, about the being happy for AS thing, I think only true AS fans feel happy. Read comments over at allkpop and many other places and they are still pissed...and yea, mainly because E-young is totally wasted. Im still hoping her subunit will arise with the addition of new members because that is the only way possible. Another issue netizens dont mind is the addition rather than graduation. that's all that keeps it together now.

it's been 2 years since a last fierce song with attitude. I hope their comeback will be BAM. that said, i LOVED Shampoo...still my top song on itunes..yea somehow you wonder :P

Wasn't that E-young centered project supposed to be in March? xD

And did anyone else notice that Pledis seems to add the Pre-school girls that we didn't know about?
When they announced that they would add a new member in 2010 most people thought it would be Min Kyung. But they added E-young.
This time, we thought they might add Yoonjo, Ara or Min Kyung but they added Ga Eun...

I don't get what they were trying to do with E-young tbh. She has a lot of talent but it's not really anything that can be (or is being used) used in After School. It's been over a year since she joined! Hopefully she'll get some shine soon.

Im just praying Ara, Yoonjo, Hyelim and Kyung min all belong to AS :(
I really like them so much..though I doubt they have that edginess to make AS special...
hope they dont go into helLOVEnus, the new pledis girlgrp (which can finally shut people up that why isnt Pledis making a new girlgrp)

Yesterday, my friend who isnt THAT into K-pop was telling me, "How come After School is adding members too? How come everyone is adding members now?" so I explained to him. and note, he isnt even someone who knows After School at all, except that I love them.

So my point is, i think Pledis cashed in on the situation of the current T-ara issue and now, even non-fans have knowledge about the news and there is a possibility that they will pay attention to AS's comeback in June. (I even got one of my friends to look at Ara and Yoonjo before the day before the news was announced and he found them really cute...though, they werent added in). And yet again, I think Pledis is just using Ara, Yoonjo and the other Known trainees to give more anticipation for fans. The longer the dont debut, the longer we will keep a lookout.

3 continuous post..lol..but this time i bring news!

PLAYGIRLZ TOUR TO BE ON USTREAM!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!

Ara and Yoonjo will NOT debut in AS.

source: allkpop

EDIT:

So apparently it's not 'Ra Im' but Rhyme (라임) -according to Hello Venus' facebook page-. Could it be that Rhyme is Hye Lim?

^Yup seems to be her. I mean, Hye Lim IS in Hello Venus

Reading this, I wonder...so Eyoung and Kaeun dont have that extra-something-special for them to have been in a group on their own?...Ara and Yoonjo would definitely boost the vocal capabilities of AS (and i wished AS would have a ballad subunit) but i guess, since their look lie more on the girly side...maybe thats why

Looking forward toward their debut next month.
