@xtinevang, Pledis said they'll give her a graduation ceremony/fan meeting.

xtinevang wrote:Because Pledis should have done that with Kahi and Jooyeon too

Pledis did give Juyeon a graduation ceremony and I think their last Playgirlz concert in Japan was Kahi graduation ceremony.

hmm...all the original members have left But I still love After School as much as I've ever done

TreeTopMonkey wrote:It just changes the whole perception on that group.

@TreeTopMonkey, the whole perception of the group changed when Bekah left.

TreeTopMonkey wrote:Jungah might not of even wanted to leave but after her contract ended,pledis probably didn't want to renew it because of her age and the fact that they don't want to spend money on afterschool and probably want to end the group.

@TreeTopMonkey from what I've read from the news articles. It seems like Pledis wanted to negotiate with Jung Ah to stay like what they did with Juyeon and Pledis definitely has no intention of disbanding After School as they were discussing about who should be After School's next leader be and adding new member to After School which means they'll be spending more money on After School and they don't intend to end After School.

I saw GFriend on weekly idol and those guys were pretty good...

GFriend's best card are their impecable dancing routines and how coordinated they are. All those rookies are so J-Pop idol based on terms of image and school innocent girl, but so much K-Pop on terms of coordinated dances that have key movements to wow the audiences.

Not only them, Lovelyz are quite good, the music from Oh My Girl has been my favorite so far (and the girls are good too), CLC are good (although I didn't like their second release), there's still MAMAMOO and others, FIESTAR and the way they picked up from being a nugu rookie... AOA... etc.

As for the "school" concept, they could make it if they took back the original AS' school concept, because they would be opposing all those innocent looking schoolgirls groups. But they surely need to polish their dance routines like Kahi was still leading them.

@OKDR, I've been patiently waiting for them to go back to their original concept for a long time

It could even be college-themed, but still more badass than the others (I like innocent schoolgirls concepts too, but there are so many of those right now).

That's a pretty good idea.
