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.

I love the title and the UEE gif

Also, I really hope someone will upload a HQ version of After School's Yuki no Hana cover. It was a gorgeous cover

[miroro]

^that gif is flawless
they relaly need to release the cover of yuki n hana as a digital single or something

[AyuHamasaki01]

yeah I believe they released the song as a "special single" for their 3rd anniversary~

[CoriKaru]

I was staring at that new Pledis Boy Promo Pic in the last thread for the longest time trying to figure out why there was a girl in it.

[AyuHamasaki01]

Maybe we need a thread for NU'EST
But I just keep posting the NU'EST articles here because well... not sure where else to post

Rookie boy group NU'EST reveals the face of their leader, JR



On January 18th, new rookie group NU’EST (formerly known as the ‘Pledis Boys‘) revealed the face of their leader, JR!

JR stands for ‘Junior Royal’, and the 18-year-old certainly looks like a young aristocrat with his strong gaze and classical profile.

JR has been a Pledis trainee for quite some time now, and has cultivated his dance skills enough to serve as an instructor for the other trainees. He’s also said to possess top-notch rap skills.

NU’EST will be revealing the concept pictures for each member one at a time. The boys are scheduled make their official debut in early March.

He's my age too I wonder how old the other NU'EST members are~

[y_nathz]

well maybe you can post about NU'EST at the general K-music thread ?
huh what a leader your age ? don't tell me the maknae is younger than me

and thanks for the new thread! UEE so flawless

[AyuHamasaki01]

^Lol we have a thread like that?
and I hope you're not calling me old

[y_nathz]

Yes we did! At the Asian Music Chat! XD
no I mean, the leader is so young XD usually they're from 80s line or like 90-91 liner lol

[AyuHamasaki01]

^I feel young again

EDIT:

Has anyone been able to get their hands on After School's cover of Yuki no Hana?

it seems vaguely similar to a rumour we've heard. but i still hope now that its published its true!!!!!
OMG PLAYGIRLZ SCHOOL SEASON II!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[y_nathz]

omg they will graduate someone if this was true D:
Raina solo project ? do want :3

[AyumiAi]

OMG @ KAHI SECOND SOLO!!! YES PLEASE <3 <3 <3

AND I'm not excited for Raina's solo because she's not my favorite in the group but i'm still excited that it could be good!
2012 seems like an amazing year for AS! X) !!!!

[AyuHamasaki01]

Noooo~ I don't want a graduation!

I'm really excited for Playgirlz School Season 2! The first season was so awesome I really love the ballet episode.

Also, finally E-young gets her time to shine

I was thinking, about the Rambling girls/BoY release. Do you think they'll shoot a new MV for Because of You? Since well, the old MV still has Bekah in it and Lizzy and E-young are missing. Or will they just shoot some new scenes and put those in the old MV?

[miroro]

^irc in the tracklist said the dvd of BoY would be the korean version? but i don't remember ;_;

the schedule looks AMAZING!!!! specially kahi's solo again Playgirlz School season 2 !!!

btw the march comeback is a korean one?

[AyuHamasaki01]

^If you mean the album, no I believe that's a Japanese album.

Maybe they'll record BoY in Korean with Lizzy and E-young (and someone else does Bekah's part)?
