iM sure confident she will. She's been wanting to go solo all her life.
Im just very worried for AS.
the thing with the graduation system is...if they graduate a member once she becomes popular...then the group will forever not have that lead boost..it just feels weird really..

edit: wonder if Pledis thinks that releasing news on a graduation before the comeback will back people actually want to buy the new single/mini album to treasure it as Kahi's last work

[miroro]

i'm really sad because AS without kahi will not be AS anymore ;A;
but i'm happy for her if it's her choice and i'll support her!

[AyUta]

^ I know But thank goodness she wont be absent for good. Solo time!

[AyuHamasaki01]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT KAHI!
(Why are my favorite members leaving?! )

This feels like being punched in the face... I really can't imagine After School without Kahi. Wow, this feels so, unreal.

[love in music]

i'm not really too upset about it because i think she shines more on her own.. i liked her in her solo mini album more than i ever did as an AS member.

[AyumiAi]

THE END IS HERE!!! KAHI!!!

[adantatu2]

I love Kahi, she is probably one of the best and talented leaders.
After School without Kahi is really weird but we know the system, and we have to support her solo career and support After School. I'm going to miss Kahi a lot.

Without Kahi, i think Jungah could be the new leader

[freedreamer]

Pledis is being very weird. All there is is an official statement on AFTERSCHOOL's JAPANESE Facebook about Kahi's graduate and it says the 5th single will show a BRAND NEW AFTERSCHOOL. So she may not come back with them this June?!
I'll be really sad honestly...I hope to see her even for a final comeback with the team.

But...What is Pledis thinking really? I don't know why they havent come out and explained more and posted anything. They have so much confirmation to do and clarifications.

Part of me feels that it's because...Kahi will stop promoting in Japan? since her solo activities are in Korea, the audience will still see her and that's why? I don't know.

I wonder if Amuro Namie actually would strike her. Since Namie is success on her own and their about the same age, Kahi must feel, she wants to do something on her own. and remember the time when Kaeun was introduced at PLAYGIRLZ tour and Kahi was acting weird with Uee at the side. I wonder if that was a sign. Kahi feels that she doesnt have that responsibility to lead the group in Japan anymore since they have a better Japanese speaker and..I won’t say she wont be of use anymore. But she probably feels that, the group is in safer hands now. Hence she feels she could leave.

this touched me so much

“When I Get Married and have a child and when I turn on the TV, I still Want AFTER SCHOOL to be There” - Kahi

Regardless, true fans will stand by AFTER SCHOOL no matter what. PLAYGIRLZ AND PLAYBOYZ UNITE!

[CoriKaru]

Yes! Joo-yeon better put in an application for Group Leader. It's her turn.

[AyuHamasaki01]

I wouldn't be suprised if Jung Ah became the new leader...

I'm still sad that Kahi is leaving Like I said before, all my favorite members are leaving (first Bekah, now Kahi, at least Nana is still there!).
Guess I should go pick some new favorite members

[freedreamer]

I think Pledis has made me realized…After School is really fragile group. Not fragile in terms of skills but members. I want to treasure each of them much more than ever because I dont want to feel as though when they graduate, I havent seen enough. Each member is unique and special in this school. They all deserve the attention.

Kahi’s time was short but very memorable. She has left an impression. In 3 years to come, when Orange Caramel has been in AS for 6 years. Perhaps people won’t be so hard up about the Graduation system because they have served their time well.

[Celaphorce]

I agree on thinking Jung Ah possibly being leader now, so upsetting but given how Kahi's career has been and the struggles she's had I'm happy for her regardless of what happens, as long as After School can pull off peforming old songs and having someone fill in for Kahi's parts and make it fierce and their own then I have nothing to worry about, besides I still love all of the members in the lineup. I'm not a fan of After School for Kahi, I'm a fan for every member in their own ways, obviously Nana is probably my favorite but realistically the most evolved is Kahi. It's kinda sad cause after Kahi's first solo project I figured she would have been gone around then, just wish she could still participate or make "guest" appearances in some After School performances to come! I wish After School & Kahi the best!!

[freedreamer]

hahaha yea me too. Im not a fan just for Kahi. In fact I just love whoever that comes in though Uee really really took me a while because when she was added, I honestly got a shock. Gotten used to it though. and yea, I hope Kahi can still perform with AS once in a while. Maybe if they have a concert or soemthing, I hope she'll be there as their lead again. Now...an After School concert without Kahi is so weird. They havent had a tour in Korea and..its kinda sad actually..now that Kahi is leaving

Im sure Kahi will always be there for After School. Now that she isn't part of the group, she can be their mentor, be even stricter with them, be more critical and harsh and who says she can't be the brains of After School still.

[AyuHamasaki01]

I would love it if Kahi would still continue to think of concept for After School.

EDIT:

Not to change the subject (okay well, it's exactly that ) but what is your Top 3 most played After School songs? (I was just going through my iPod via iTunes and suddenly I wondered this ). Mine is:

1. Bang! - 1670 plays
2. AH - 1323 plays
3. Let's Do It! - 1189 plays

[freedreamer]

I have no idea.
Last year iTunes erased all songs on my iPod (I dunno how) and when I added the songs again on my iPod, suddenly I had much more plays, it's so weird.

EDIT:

After School's Kahi to begin solo activities in September

It has been recently revealed that After School‘s leader and member Kahi will be graduating from the group and will debut back into the music scene as a solo artist. Now, it seems we have a timeline of when her solo activities will begin.

Pledis Entertainment revealed, “Kahi will finish her group activities with After School by September and begin working on her solo activities. The new student, Ga Eun, will take the place as the fifth new recruitment member in the place of Kahi.”

Kahi stated, ”I will show everyone a new side of myself by studying acting and adopting a beginner’s attitude while working on my solo album“.

So that means she's still gonna be there when they release the new mini album on June 21st? (and yes fyafterschool reported it was gonna be a mini album )

[Aspen]

First would be Bang! (well, a rexrowdee mix), then Virgin and then probably Because of You (another mix).

[bondingo]

I'm already pretty meh about them lately, but if anyone besides Jungah becomes the new leader I'm totally out.

[miroro]

bekah, this is why i love you
