FIRST REACTION to AFTER SCHOOL - BANG!, FIRST LOVE & FLASHBACK MVs (Patreon Request) 

BANG! is the unofficial Pledis anthem. Seventeen did their own version on this in 17Project and pledis girls (pristin) did so too when they joined produce 101. After School usually performed this with a drumline (as you have seen snippets in the mv) as an intro before the actual song

after school had such wonder discography!!! i miss them so much

After School is ICONIC. (the subunit Orange Caramel SOMEHOW EVEN MORE ICONIC) to this DAY I will somehow find myself singing the chorus to 'Ah', what a debut!!

Who ever requested this, we owe you one 😂 Fighting Pledis Fam

I always had to Stan Nana because of her otherworldly beauty- but now that I think about it she must have been one of the first idols to play an explicitly queer character in a show as well (The Good Wife Korean vers. Which is amazing)

I'd love to see you react to other ggs like Rainbow, brown eyed girls, 9muses, brave girls, dalshabet, kara, girl's day, hello venus, purfles, fiestar, stellar,..

Girl groups from pledis is always mistreated :/ i hope kauen would be successful one day after mnet messed her up :c

Ah, After School was the group that made me interested in all the succeeding Pledis groups because of how powerful and iconic they were back in the day. I think I can attribute that power they hold to Kahi, their leader. Their song Because of You is still one of my top songs to sing at a karaoke lol I definitely recommend listening to that and their ballads as well. Also, I'm glad we as the human race collectively agree that Pledis needs a swift and painful kick in the balls.

“Because of you” was one of the most underrated song of Afterschool. This song showcased their vocals and melody. Hope you could react to it too.

flashback in literally after school's ticket to motherland, they visited their aunties BoA and Lee Hyori in motherland to be able to possess the power of mother as they recorded the cvntiest song in their career

In terms of Sexiness, I feel like in Kpop, the “sexy” girl groups were popular in the early 2010s many girl group during that time did sexy. The problem is, not many groups can pull off sexy well and have it look seductive or empowering without looking like a cheap sell out. After School, Sistar, Miss A, Girls Day were few of the groups who did that well but many groups came out and just did sexy with skimpy outfits and grinding on the floor. So sexy groups faded out by mid 2010s and the public started embracing the cute innocent groups in response and after that influx came the Girl Crush that’s preferred now.

Regarding the pole dancing on first love, you were right! They learned how to do it for this comeback and this song! I don't know if you noticed but the girls were wearing lots of tattoos which, some of them, were covering the bruises they got from practising so hard this choreography. This dance is considered one of the most difficult dances in kpop and still, they didn't get anything for it (like prizes on the music shows). The girls did a great job with this dance!

"Why I've gone from zero to stan in this song and a half? WOW... It's because I'm gay."

I am so happy that you have reacted to After School. I've been stanning them since their AH! days when they were still pretty much promoted as the Korean Pussycat Dolls. Their original leader Gahee/Kahee already graduated when First Love and Flashback was released but she has made a solid foundation for After School's performances. She also became a trainer in Produce series so you may have notice why Gahee got a little emotional when Gaeun auditioned at Produce 48. Gaeun debuted after Gahee left.

They were known as the korean Pussycat dolls. They literally were the image of sexiness and power and had a lot of props in their performances (drums, tapdancing and then poledancing) and I still miss them so much

As far as I know, Afterschool hasn’t formally disbanded but they haven’t been active since like 2014. You should check out their sub-unit Orange Caramel.

"BANG" ...This song is a great classic among Pledis artists, SEVENTEEN made their own version and later Pristin (female group) made their own version, which is otherwise very very good, I recommend that you see it from their mini concert dated 20160910 (this one became famous because the girls auditioned with this arrangement on the show "Produce 101")

Have you noticed the cute little girl in the first part and end part of Bang!? She's Xiyeon of PRISTIN. She's been a trainee of Pledis for 11 years before debuting. Pledis is really sh*t for treating their talented and beautiful girl groups bad. Smh

Bang for someone who is not that familiar with the quirkiness of 2nd gen kpop is an experience lol, but I love it.

I stan thiis group before and KARA before i get into Gfriend.. they are good.. really good..
