After School + Sub-Units

[Boh]

Hey, is it just me or would anyone else LOVE to hear Jooyeon rapping?

The only time I've heard her rap.



It'd be interesting to hear in Flashback, although it's too 'squeaky, talk-rap' for Juyeon's voice imo.

EDIT: Well, duh..it's because it's rapped like that. *lightbulb moment* The deeper voice would suit the song more, so yes to Juyeon rapping!

[Conan]

Ok the injury and her lack dance skills makes sense. It seems her personality comes out more during variety shows.

Now, if Nana had been here...I wonder who would have stood in the back with the other maknaes. Her or Raina? Or probably Jooyeon. I don't think Nana would have allowed to be positioned in the back.
Obviously I don't know anything about her, but in my head she's After School's biggest diva.

In Korea, Nana would still have to but put in the back with the others if there were only four chairs. In Japan, Nana gets to sit on the chair.

You say that with such certainty that I assume there's a reason behind this? Is it that in Korea it's strictly according to age/(rank?), whereas in Japan it's according to popularity?
Oh My, this must come across as so petty, discussing such a non-event.

Nana is big in Japan.

In their Korean promotions, they always seem to go with age / seniority when it comes to sitting on chairs during interviews. One example would be during the AS Blue and Red promotions. There were four chairs and eight members where Kahi, UEE, Jungah and Jooyeon sat, and the rest stood at the back. When they're in one single line whether sitting or standing, it doesn't seem to matter who's in the center or who gets to stand near the center.

In Japan, popular members over there like Nana, Jooyeon, UEE and Kahi get pushed to the front. I'm actually curious who's gonna be pushed up front with Kahi's departure. Probably Jungah (being the new leader), E-Young or Kaeun.

That was hilarious, I've looked for it before but I think it was taken down.

She did it again on the same show:

Amazing!

[Conan]

Thank you miklc and hitori for your answers. Very interesting.

Also, I need that interview with English subs so bad. It looks such fun. I suppose at the end it's some kind of quiz and they get to splash the contestants when they answer wrong?
Another cultural observation: I've never seen so many people dressed as much in a public swimming pool. And what's with the vests? Are Koreans that scared of drowning? I love how K-Pop related videos sometimes point things (I wasn't aware of before) out to me .

[miklc]

AMOLED IS STILL FLAWLESS.

[Macsun]

^ It is! I hope when Son Dambi decides to grace herself again on stage, she brings in After School or Kahi for another collaboration.

Also I think Jooyeon should rap more. She sounds fantastic on Flashback with her deeper tone.

[ashygreen]

Jungah doin' ze Salsa...have anyone seen this?i accidentally found this in youtube :)

[Osiris]

Amazing salsa indeed!

All those Dancing With The Stars/Strictly Come Dancing contestants have been blown out of the water!

[hitori]

Jungah needs to have roles in dramas or be in a dancing show.

AMOLED IS STILL FLAWLESS.

That is is.

I was looking over my copy of Virgin earlier tonight, and I never noticed how derp-like Raina's facial expression was. Everyone is smiling and posing, while she's got this 'I can't believe it's not butter!' thing going on.


Waiting for something like this to happen again..



Keep adding to this post as I can't sleep..been watching a whole bunch of AS vids, and something that caught my eye, was during show appearances Bekah always seemed to be in a state of boredom and/or having borderline eyes rolls of disdain when other people would talk. It's subtle, and I don't think people really picked up on it due to her bubbly persona they'd see when she'd have a turn to talk... I'm watching that results from the dance battle against SNSD, and most of AS is smiling at Sunny doing some aeygo shit, while she's there with this deadpan look on her face. Killing me.

[Macsun]

^I think the thing with Bekah is more of a culture shock/language barrier thing,

[Resi12]

Lizzy and Raina SLAYED while Nana stayed useless.



However she sort of redeemed herself:



Also, new (old?) video of interview with Kahi has come about. Queen Young talks second! Plus the girls went to New York to do a signing and also did a Google+ Hangout chat with fans from all over. International Playgirlz!

ALSO. 1000(1) REPLIES, WOW!

[McQueer]

You know, I used to really love Nana, but I haven't been feeling her this comeback. I didn't even miss her in this performance, especially with the way her lines were spread out.

[Ceir]

I might like Lizzy more than Jung-ah. I don't think I can deal with this right now. It just messes up everything.

[hitori]

With this comeback, I realize I love UEE more than Nana.

[miklc]

UEE and Raina have moved up the ranks. Nana has fallen.

Can you link those bored Bekah vids please? I miss her.

[hitori]

It's from June 23... So not that old. Probably the last or one of the last appearances of Kahi as part of After School...

[Boh]

They are short tid bits from numerous vids were the group appears on various shows. The shots only go for a few seconds, as she's normally in the back/to the side of the shot, but it's become an addiction to watch her facial expressions whenever there is a group vid. She spaces out/adopts a bored face/deadpan face ....it wouldn't be worth the hassle (and I'm a lazy ass) to link it up, but stuff like the results vid from the SNSD dance battle, the water taxi interview..even some shots in the recent hyori vid..it's making me laugh so much, but it's probably at the result of culture shock/language barrier mentioned by someone..still a good laugh.

Not really an example, but I can't stop laughing at the sudden change in expression from 13:36 - 13:41
