EDIT:

And instead of an AS comeback, dear Pledis gives us this

(-_-'') Why though... (No Nayoung and Kyulkyung though, weird)

^because it is pretty cheap. AFTER SCHOOL needs much more money and a high budget looking comeback. These girls are just trainees and all their money gets back to the company.

AyuHamasaki01

28th August 2016 07:25 AM

Sorry guys, no AS news :bsigh

I just came here to rant about how NU'EST is getting a comeback and Pledis Girlz are getting their own concert. I read the final concert sold out pretty quick.

I'm seriously hoping that Nayoung and Pinky (Kyul Kyung) will join After School after they are finished with IOI. And hopefully Pledis won't debut Pledis Girlz (yet). Because that would make it really unfair.

I'm still praying that AS is still a group because it does not seem like it. They're my favorite Kpop group :weep
I just want a goddamn comeback. Why are you giving NU'EST a comeback and not AS?

I remember Raina or Lizzy saying in an interview that they were waiting for a good song to come along. Well it's been three years. Don't tell me you haven't heard a single good song in three years.

Okay I'm done :laugh

visionfactory

28th August 2016 09:17 AM

And they even say OC had a new song coming

I've seen pictures of all members except E-young

If ever AfterSchool end having a comeback I think it will be maybe without E-young and Uee

AyuHamasaki01

28th August 2016 10:04 AM

I have nothing against UEE but how is that woman still a apart of AS? Don't get me wrong, I don't hate her, but she's never there. She's always filming some drama. Girl make up your mind what you want...

"Pledis Girlz sell out their last event before official debut + to reveal debut group name at concert"
read the article here: http://www.allkpop.com/article/2016/...ame-at-concert

I like Pledis Girlz but this pisses me off. Everyone is wainting for an AS or OC comeback and instead Pledis only focusses on SEVENTEEN and they decide to debut Pledis Girlz....

:roflmao I was still hoping Nayoung and Pinky could save the sinking ship. AS is in need of a (good) rapper since Bekah left and Kahi's rap turned all cutesy.

And Pinky seems to be really popular because people consider her beautiful, hence I thought she might be able to save AS...

I still have hope for Orange Caramel though... I must believe :laugh

Pledis is holding a 2017 Global Audition and in the promotional poster there are pictures of all Pledis artists. There was quite a fuss because After School WASN'T featured as Pledis artist on the promotional image, instead they put an image of ORANGE CARAMEL only.

Raina Responds To Questions About Orange Caramel’s Future

During a recent interview, Raina was asked about whether or not the hit After School unit Orange Caramel might be making a return.

Raina made her debut in Pledis Entertainment’s girl group After School in 2009, and has also been part of the group’s hit unit Orange Caramel along with members Nana and Lizzy. The trio is known for their hits including “Catallena,” “My Copycat,” “Lipstick,” and more, and hasn’t promoted together since 2014.

On August 2’s episode of the radio show “Yoon Hyung Bin and Yang Se Hyung’s Two Man Show,” host Yang Se Hyung announced he’s a big fan of Orange Caramel and asked Raina why they haven’t released anything recently.

Raina laughed over his enthusiasm and admitted, “I’m asked that a lot. I’d like it if we did too, but I think there are a lot more junior artists at our agency now, including groups and solo artists.”

Raina said they had been planning to do something new and even recorded for it, but the agency decided to look for something better for them. “It kept getting delayed over time,” she said.

“We’ve also gotten older, and I think the agency wonders if it would be good for us if we continue with this image,” she added. When the hosts insisted that a lot of fans want them to return, Raina said, “Yes, I think it’s a shame too.”

Yang Se Hyung said he had wondered if there had been an issue between the members or with the company, but Raina insisted that wasn’t the case.

“It’s been postponed,” she clarified. “But if the song was really good… But it has to be really powerful. That’s Orange Caramel’s identity. I think we all think that if we did a ‘pretty’ concept, it’d be better to just not do it at all. But it’s hard to find that kind of thing.”

Didn't she or another member say the same thing a few years back when asked the same question?

visionfactory

3rd August 2017 09:56 AM

^Yeah, about not finding a good enough song

Anyway, they RECORDED it, release it damn it!! It can't be worse than Raina's comeback XD

ahtka-chan

3rd August 2017 12:04 PM

Yeah, they're not like BLACKPINK or Gfriend that can release a terrible song and still be succesful, they need to comeback with the most wonderful song of the year or else the comeback won't do anything for them. They've been away for too long from the public eyes to still be relevant. Sad.

5th August 2017 08:01 AM

I don't trust korean entertainment anymore, now it's not a matter of choosing the right song or having the talent to sing it

The only chance for the girls is to enter to P101 the same NU'EST did and now they are having a second chance as well

But I think the girls maybe are a bit old to enter the contest

The problem is that SEVENTEEN and PRISTIN are far more popular than After School. They aren't going to spend more money in an old group that hasn't promoted for a really long time. Just disband them please, I don't want to have false hopes.
