This is nothing new and has always been Pledis position on AS/OC, but it doesn't mean a comeback will happen, if it was likely to happen it would have already happened and Lizzy wouldn't have left, now that she is gone it only makes it much harder so less likely.
As I have said before AS/OC is a "brand" and as long as they can still use it as such no disbandment will happen but I also put it in the same category as KARA reforming or Crayon Pop releasing new music, maybe on a show 10 years from now when nobody really cares except for reasons of nostalgia but for when it really matters, now, nope!

This is the first time Pledis has said anything about AS/OC about their comeback within this 5 year hiatus. All Pledis has done is confirm a position that Raina has been repeating since 2015 so this has always been After Schools position. Also here more info from soompi

Well as I have said before. After School as a brand isn't worth much so I doubt Pledis is keeping AS because of the brand name.
