So a while back Pledis announced that they were splitting the 8 member group into sub groups and that some members would be either doing solo things, e.g. Jungah in the theatre, and some would be split into groups.
Sub Group 1
Name: Orange Caramel [wth?]
Members: Nana, Lizzy and Raina
Genre: Cutesy

Well, I don’t like cute, so I don’t need to describe in detail how this isn’t my cup of tea by any means. This cuteness attaches itself to the once fierce sexy After School name. I knew they would do this when the new members, post UEE, came. To be honest, I don’t see the point of this, if I were Pledis I’d keep these three on the route of Bang! but with more singing because of Raina, plus the other two have good voices also. The cute thing is an easy route and a crowd pleaser (for most people) so I guess that’s why they did it plus the new members need more exposure.
I hope the other rumored sub group is more sexy and powerful.
-I love Kahi but I think she should get a little less exposure, I know she’s the leader but that doesn’t mean she has to get the most attention or most parts.
-I really hope Jungah gets some special vocal time, her voice is amazing to me, there’s just something different about it.
-Jooyeon isn’t the strongest singer but surely Pledis can give her more attention, she’s being overshadowed and it’s not fair really.
-UEE could leave and I wouldn’t notice, I’m not being mean but I’m saying that she is so successful doing other things it’s like After School is her part-time job.
-Bekah has to get the most attention BY FAR. Come on, she is awsome! She keeps that sassy-ness that came with After School in the AH days. If she had a solo I’d totally buy whatever she put out there as long as she kept her firery attitude along with some sick beats – like Bring It Back – Hyori ft Bekah and Jiyoon (4 Minute).
Looking forward to it Pledis.
