I still say the best things they did was their debut song "AH!" and "Bang!". Pledis should've stuck with their original Pussycat Dolls concept instead of doing that stupid Morning Musume graduation thing. Which really wasn't a "graduation" it was the members tired of the bs and leaving.

^the rap is weaker yes, but the full song has much more drive which makes it better.

I prefer the original version of Bang! It's more powerful, and the rap is better. Kahi's rap in the JP version is so awful.

Lizzy probably would've been a better choice. Kahi's rap is horrible.

There's a fanmade version of the Japan version with Bekah's rap:

I don't think the rap makes the song...
the Korean version is just way weaker in production. It just does not sound as full (Diva suffers of the same problem) and thats why the Japanese Version totally gets me.

✽Raina: I know fans have been waiting a lot, and I really want to come back too. But we just want to find a clear and good concept first. It's not like when there's a chance, you jump in and then do it halfheartedly. When we do something, we want to do it properly (Source: Happy Pl3dis.ph)
So basically they don't have a concept for AS to comeback, it seems that it's easier to create concept for OC and Raina
I think AS is trying to change their style, I think they want to ride the sexual dance trend while still being AS

I believe they have quit giving a shit lol
They are a really good girl group and I know what Raina meant
They learned how to play drums, how to tap dance, pole dancing... amazing stuff, yet the didn't really get the recognition they deserve.

^They didn't do something like that in Flashback, and they get a lot of popularity.
It's sad.

Idk I think rather than focusing on some amazing skill they should focus on getting a good song because that is what people listen to, people don't listen to amazing pole dancing for example lol and flashback was a really good song, so I can see why it was more popular than first love even though they probably had to prepare for first love a lot more

So true. Like they should've played up the other songs on First Love more. Like Love Beat or Dressing Room where they couldve been in those dark clothes with heavy makeup and had First Love be the second single or something...

Love Beat and Dressing Room are both bad. Apart from First Love, that mini didn't have any other single worthy song.

And I don't think it was an image problem, the song didn't meet the korean's expectations, unfortunately, because I love it

Love Beat and Dressing Room are as good as First Love, they should have made a MV for Dressing Room, filmed in a dressing room it would be so nice

^I think they are terrible and that's my personal opinion.

After School members beg for a comeback on social media

After School member Jungah reminisced over her group’s past music promotions and shared her yearning to return to the stage on a recent Instagram post.

Posted on July 22nd, Jungah posted a photo of After School on the set of their “Flashback” photoshoot and wrote, “Our After School needs a comeback as well~ Every night, Lizzy sends me concert videos heuheu we fall asleep like that.. ^^ we’re pretty cool hee hee ☺️☺️☺️☺️ #AfterSchool #Comeback.”

And fans are completely agreeing with her post as well as they commented, “Comeback After School <3,” “Comeback soon please,” “I want a comeback unnie, please.”

After School last released the single First Love in June 2013 and since then, has seen a change in their lineup with the leave of 1st generation lineup member Jooyeon following her contract expiration with Pledis Entertainment.

Currently, Pledis Entertainment’s new male idol group SEVENTEEN is promoting.


Lizzy also recently replied to a tweet asking for After School's comeback, writing, "We need money to comeback, but currently we don't have money... I want to comeback too."
