After School, The Story

Debuting initially as a 5-member group (Kahi, Jung-Ah, Soyoung, Jooyeon, Bekah)
with their debut single "AH" in January 2009, they were labeled as the Korean Pussycat Dolls
for the matured and sexy concept they had taken on.
In April 2009, After School released a digital single titled "DIVA" and introduced a new member "U-ie" into the group,
as part of After School’s admission and graduation concept. Later in October 2009,
member "Yoo So Young" announced her withdrawal from the group citing health and studies reasons.
At the end of the same month, After School admitted two new members "Raina" & "Nana" into the group
November 25th, 2009 they made a comeback with 2nd Single Album "Because of You"
March 25th, 2010 After School released 3rd Single Album "BANG!" together with the addition of new member "Lizzy"
making After School a 8-member group now.
A new member was added in late 2010, Lee Young.

After School will be making their first release in Japan. This will be a collaboration between them and Japanese legend Namie Amuro titled "Make It Happen".
A teaser for the PV was released on February 18, 2011. The PV features new member Lee Young, but see's rapper Bekah missing, due to her vacation occuring when the PV was recorded.

Their first full album was released on 27th april, titled "Virgin"

Bekah has decided to graduate from the group to fulfill her dream, being a designer.

The members
Park Kahi, Kim Jung ah, Lee Joo Yeon, Uee, Raina, Nana, Lizzy and E-Young.

Bekah, we'll miss you a lot!!
http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo...6nwuo1_400.gif

T_______T Bekaaaah. I hope her solo song will be an epic rap song. :yes

I'm dying to the know the sub units btw.

Heard that Bekah's solo is an English song :)
I hope its FIERCE!!!

and hopefully they tabulate the results FAST!
arnt they coming back next week?!?!

maybe all of them prepared for 2 songs so it doesnt matter...maybe it's just shooting the MV (if any)

I can't believe they didn't even mention the subunits! what teases.

I hope the results are announced ASAP.

WOAH NEW THREAD ALREADY!!!!

lovelovevleoveleooeveeeeee the title and ofcourse the as always-epic first post :heart


OMAGA PLEDIS WHAT THE **** I CANT BELIEVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Not really liking the whole subunit concepts.
They starting to be Morning Musume.
I thought they were the "Pussycat Dolls" of Japan.

If they could have stayed just how they started would have been awesome.
I'm really going to miss Bekah.
I'm just excited for new music so *sigh*

^its been said since day 1 they were going to be like Morning Musume though

I always thought they were going to be the Pussycat Dolls of Korea.

I never seen anywhere that said that they were like Morning Musume.
When they started mentioning "graduation" I got that feeling of Musume.
I meant Korea >.<

I'm kinda disappointed that they cancelled Raina solo album. She has a very nice voice and she should have a solo album someday.

I want more Orange Caramel tbh :yes

^me too!! A full album <3

Hopefullu we'll know the blue and red teams line up tomorrow !!! I cant wait more haha

I want to know the line-up!!! omg...this is why After School is so interesting to me. Having subunits not only showcase each member more, but also help to showcase different music styles and..there are just infinite possiblities of how they can be. Of course, I want to see them as a team but maybe they feel that its too fast right after their VOL1 to make a big comeback. Esp with plans of debuting in Japan. Plus, they've set the bar so high with Tap dancing, I wonder what they are going to do next.

Somehow I feel like AS BLUE and AS RED are just subunits for more entertainment..unlike Orange Caramel..which seems to be this actual subgroup Pledis has churned out. Just a feeling..if they will go on, then we'll see :)

EDIT:
i have a strange desire for BLUE to do a Diva~ptII~ hehehe..and of course, RED to have a AH~ptII~

why !! i wanna see the line-up now !!!
and i hope we can get the PV for BANG! this week

I found a picture for the 2nd fanmeet.
funny how they were already grouped into Red and Blue huh??? hehe

http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr....QP09qYh%2BA%3D

^Aww such a cute picture~~

So according to fyafterschool:

- Kyung Min and Ara were also present at the fanmeeting
- Like freedreamer mentioned, Bekah's solo is in English.
- From the gifs, it appeared Nana cried too.

i need that pic in hq:thud omg :heart

nana crying during shampoo perfomance


:(

^Yeah I saw that too~~ I just wanna hug her.

And I just noticed my double posts xD
How come I didn't notice? I think I got a bit excited for some reason and therefore I double posted :laugh

new thread :heart

oh I want to listen to bekah's song already :heart

WE'LL NOW THE LINE UP OF SUBGROUPS TOMORROW!:heart

source: fyafterschool

OMG PLEASE..I CANT TAKE IT ANY LONGER XD

srsly, I hope they'll announce the subgroups at midnight. Because that's in 2 hours!


EDIT: The picture I have as my signature ... Is it just me or did they make Raina seem like outsider? xD

^haha yes kinda.. :x
guess its not out at 0000KST then...oh well...hopefully when i wake up tomorrow..

^^lol aw yeah :laugh

i hope we'll get it sooooonnnnn AWOJGH:OEWJHER:O

I keep pressing F5 on fyafterschool and allkpop in hopes that the next new message will be something like "Sub units officially announced" or something.

BEKAH'S SOLO SONG! FAN-RECORDED!!



and a sweet video pledis JUST uploaded to show Play Girlz support



i hope they are ready to reveal everything soon!!!!! >.<

*sigh* bekah

Bekah's song is out in HQ:

Bekah! I MISS YOU. :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep :weep
Don't go....

Bekah .__.
Have the groups got announced ?

My goosebumps keep popping out..T.T
i feel so sad listening to this :'(

I'm listening to it on repeat, and I'm crying :weep

source: allkpop

LOL..i think I already said I wanted this line-up like...WAYYY back. but i think it's the best since it fits their characters very well

Wow, boy have I REALLY been out of touch with this group. Haven't paid attention to them since the 1st mini so I just dropped by to check up.

Had absolutely no idea that they follow the J-idol graduation/admission concept or that they had sub-units. O______o Interesting...

After School Finalizes Lineup!

http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/4...schoolunit.jpg

AS RED :heart just as I wanted. now can't wait for the hot track.

by the way, I'm absolutely in love with bekah's song, does anyone have a mp3 rip out of it?

^wow your set is STUNNING *___________* /ot


IM SO HAPPY WITH THE OUTCOMEEEEEEEEEEEE~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE 21ST CANT COME FAST ENOUGH OWAJGT:OEWJHOE:

OMGGG the line ups~~~
I actually love it :laugh I'm so happy~~ I can't wait.

OMG BEKAH'S SOOOONG... Her voice is so beautiful. :weep
EDIT: Bekah's song caused tears in my eyes :weep :weep :weep

MY PREDICTION WAS TRUEEEE! YAAAY! :laugh nana in the sexy one:heart

bekah song = :heart

I need a studio version of this in my life:





EDIT: You can download Bekah's song here: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...88#post2715288 (don't forget to say Thanks ;))

^thank yoou! but i downloaded already from bestfiction:laugh

im in love with her voice in the song

^You can always download it again :lech :bchuck

Nice, the lineup has revealed. Looking foward to see what they have in stored for us.

Bekah solo song sounds pretty good.

I made a poll regarding the sub units if anyone is interested.

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=110145

Awww damn! I wanted E-Young in the sexy group with UEE and Kahi :/
Were you guys aware that After School made a cameo in the horror film, White: A Melody of Death? They played a fictional group ("Pure") and apparently performed Bang!

i'm satisfied with the sub-units,we don't have all the OC girls in one sub-unit, nana is on the sexy side, and e-young and raina are in the blue sub-unit, this is perfect

now i can't wait for the new material

I'm just happy Nana and Kahi are on the sexy group. my two favorite members.

these are probably their best covers ever! :eek

http://afterschooldaze.files.wordpre...pg?w=600&h=600

http://afterschooldaze.files.wordpre...pg?w=600&h=600

:yes Yup I knew about that.
I didn't know they performed Bang! though. I'd love to see some clips of it, but I guess we'll just have to wait until the dvd release of the movie.

EDIT:

I'm not sure if you guys have seen this before but here is E-Young's admission card.

http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/6351/eyoung.png

Kinda makes me wonder why their Japanese site is lying about their heights .... (¬_¬)

The covers are gloooorious

TRACKLIST and possible COVER UNVEILED!!!

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo...k5tao1_500.jpg

http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo...k5tao1_500.jpg

omg 2 songs!! a legit SINGLE ALBUM! i thought it would be nothing more than 1 song for each unit. 4 NEW SONGS NEXT WEEK.

BOTH WILL BE RELEASED ON THE 21ST :)

and

ug, brave brothers :( they have lost their touch these days. I hope they can do something epic again

right now im more excited for Wonder Boy:heart

what does that A.S. RED title translate into?
and rather than trust Brave Bros, I trust AS :)

a little more info

mm I just don't want Wonder Boy to sound like an OC song :P
anyway excited for both now! I kinda wished the girls were on the cover though :laugh

In the night sky? I love it

wow thanks for sharing the info about their units mini album information!!
yay for two songs..
can't wait..
AS has always awesome concept..n yet they are still hardly recognized!
i wish they could win mutizens!

they face intense competition.. :(
i was so proud of them when they hit the top with B.o.Y. because to me, they are forever the underdogs and I LOVE IT when underdogs win. but...haiz...to me Shampoo is probably one of the best songs i've heard this year (it's at the top of my itunes chart) but that was hardly recognized.

OMG the titles are awesome~~
I can't wait to hear some previews~~

I thought these were only going to be digital one-track releases, so I am supersupersuper happy we're getting physical releases and two tracks per unit! I canNOT wait for this; After School have never had a bad single (even "Love Love Love" has grown on me enough to where I enjoy it now).

wow, amazing new songs so soon !!

IM SO EXCITEDDDDDD

lol i immidiatly thought of you when i read Wonder Boy :roflmao

^:laugh yaaay! maybe they are spying me?? :o :laugh

I HOPE THEY START TEASING US WITH IMAGES SOON!!!! 2 per day please:heart (one from red, and other from blue)


and goods for the ASfanmeeting in japan

http://www.after--school.jp/images/goods_1.jpg

lol :laugh

cool goods there!

Nice goods.
Are those mousepads and clear files (I believe that's what you call them)? Or posters?

xD

EDIT: I hope YesAsia will sell the goods.

^yes, those are clearfiles:yes

^And are the others posters?

(they could be mousepads too xD~ I wouldn't mind having an After School mousepad)

SO TRUE!
it has very nice composition..
still can't understand why ppl in korea still not liking that song MORE..

dunno, but i don't think they'll make posters or mousepads for this event, maybe when they debut and do a tour?

I really want some After School goodies. :yes

yaaaaaaaay! more pics from uee's new drama:heart


she looks so beautifull!

^omg I'm in loooooove with her outfit :heart

so pretty :heart and her ourfit is cute too :3

YesAsia is now selling autographed copies of the A.S. RED and A.S. BLUE single albums. just pre-ordered 'em!

I just hope I don't get Raina's signature again - I've gotten it on two different releases now, haha.

Look what I have for you :P

gorgeous shots.

I am SO excited; I can't wait 'til the songs are out!

I can say is "wow". Those shots are gorgeous. Defintely wallpaper materials.

I swear, Nana does not look her age. With her looks and her height she looks likes she's between the ages of early-mid twenties.

THOSE PHOTOS ARE STELLAR!!! i cant wait omg..i hope they reveal more each day :3

gorgeous !!!! they look stunning, and omg, this is weird for me, but Raina looks beautiful

oh my gosh they looks so damn great :thud
red is so sexy as expected but the blue group made me surprised, it's more inclined to an innocent image than cute, I think :yes

amazing :heart I'm really excited for both title tracks!

ASB is meeeh imo. ASR is hot, is amazing and is flawless. I can't wait to listen to their songs.

omfg, those pics :thud
NANAAAAA!:heart
raina with long hairrrrR:luv2

i'm even more excited now:laugh

it looks like the final covers are this
http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo...t86xo1_500.jpg

omg hot and innocent covers :heart

Kahi looks hot and the new girl looks awkward

^What else is new? :laugh

ASR is so exciting. I can't wait to hear what the songs sound like. ASB I seriously couldn't care any less about. It looks like more Shampoo/ballad style songs, and that's not what I've been looking forward to from After School. I'm ready for them to finally bring the sexy back, and it seems pretty obvious that Red is gonna do that.

poor ASBlue :( i feel like im the only true excited to see what they'll bring!

I just died seeing those pictures :thud

new jooyeon selca!
http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo...k5tao1_500.jpg
omg, she looks so beautiful!could it be from the mv shooting?? :heart

^^^I started to be more optimistic with them when I saw their teaser pic ;)

omg jooyeon so gorgeous :heart

jooyeon is REALLY PRETTY omg..
IM DIGGING BOTH CONCEPTS SO BADLY NOW!!!!!!!!!!

OHMYGOD I LOVEEEEE THE COVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :faint

EDIT:

EDIT II:

I'm not sure if this was already mentioned but on July 15th Jooyeon tweeted "I am the Blue Team’s leader, Jooyeon! Please give the Blue Team lots of love". So she's gonna be the leader of AS BLUE.
