Finally after school!! Fun fact DKB’s 1st comeback of 2021 All In is a remake of their song Because Of You as Brave Brothers is their CEO and he produced songs for AS (After School)
I wouldn’t call it a remake as much as I’d call it a blatant copy. But they can get away with it because BB produced both songs so no one can claim plagiarism, but calling it a remake isn’t really true because it’s a completely different song lyrically just a very similar beat.
My sisters introduced me to After School and they are still one of the best performance groups of all time. I shudder to think at what would've happened to Kahi had she took YG's offer, I'm glad she didn't take it.
Just watch it from start to finish, loved it! ❤ After school's story shouldn't be forgotten, not only because of their groundbreaking performances, but also as an example of "older" idols debuting. Can't wait for part 2!
I will say… I often wonder what would have happened if members were not “graduated” so early on. I felt like Kahi had more to do with this group but was cut short
Thank you for this 🥹 After School has always been, and probably will always be my most favorite girl group ever. Incredible members, even more incredible songs, truly one of a kind ❤
I miss them so much literally one of my favorite 2nd generation girl group that got me into Kpop 😫 Kahi my favorite leader in 2nd generation, her dancing was phenomenal, starting off as a back up dancer for Kpop artists like BoA, Roora, and DJ DOC literally talented! I wish Pledis valued them more instead of forgetting about them, It broke my heart when Kaeun said on Produce 48 how she was still waiting for the group’s comeback 🥲
AAAH A DEEP DIVE INTO AFTER SCHOOL! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT, THANK YOU FOR THE INTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS! I've always really respected this group and their story is a unique and very interesting one!
thank you so much for this video!! i remember after school being one of the first groups that got me into kpop, and they're still absolutely one of my favorites. so excited for part 2!
I remember getting into the group during LOVE LOVE LOVE era and I was so attracted to their visuals, charisma and talent. I've never seen so much wasted talent, it's so sad to say. They will always be my fav girl group, they have took that place in my heart that no one can ever take away. They reached their peak with their japanese era - in my opinion - , Pledis didn't know how to make they shine properly and the girls had too much to do on their own, they literally built themselves and worked so hard. No one will ever do like they did, I consider them so iconic and brave. Their legacy will last forever and us loyal playgirlz and playboyz will always stand by their side no matter what. Can't wait for your next vid 💘
Afterschool is my fav 2nd gen group and I'm so glad you're doing videos about their journey !! Absolutely love how you went into details that many kpop fans dont know. Can't wait for part 2
I have such a huge girl crush on Nana atm after mask girl. I’ve known of After School right from when I got into kpop because of Beast in 2010, but never realised how revolutionary after school was/ still is. I can never get over (unfortunately) their last comeback, first love. The song was a bop and the pole dancing was so ingenious and tastefully done. Queen Nana was the bomb! 😭
Nana is so pretty and a really underrated visual. Also Nana is one of the few idols that fit both korean and western beauty standards. If she debuted under a big company she would have been huge.
Thank you sooo much for this !! Yesss super excited for part 2 . Favorite members are OC line up , bekah ,uee, and kahi. But I love all the girls !! I still jam to there music now!! 🎉❤. Your one of my favorite youtubers for doing these gen2 gen1 documentary series 👏🏼 👌🏼 ❤️. After all of this maybe you can do one on uhm jung hwa 😊
I became a kpop fan in 2011 and Raina was always my bias but I also loved Nan and Kahi. I was IN LOVE when Shampoo dropped and all the singles after. I completely forgot about When I Fall until you mentioned it in the video. It was like unlocking a core memory.
25:26 Wasn't Super Junior the first group in K-POP to have a graduation system? Granted, it failed during their early debut days (2005).....but they debuted first before After School.
This video is sooo good ! I keep coming back to it and even forming new thoughts because of it. After school was such a great group and TY for covering them
The members I was the most familiar with when I was a kid were Uee because of You’re Beautiful, Lizy because of Running Man, and Nana because people always talked about her. I watched the Invincible Youth as well back then but I didn’t know Joohyun was in After School.
thank you for making this video its so good and i love the yearbook editing style! im so excited for part 2 since youll be covering my favorite kpop song EVER, Shampoo!!
I found After School in 2012 with their song Flashback and I was HOOKED!!! Then First Love came out it was right up my alley of grown music!! My favorite member is Nana because she captivated me from jump. Also LOVE Shampoo and After School Red and After School Blue. Orange Caramel is also my JAM!!
Sooo hear me out. AFTER SCHOOL: NEXT CLASS. We form a new generation of after school via show and have Kahi/Raina judge dance and vocal with Nana and Jooyeon as hosts with Jungah/Beckah as teachers or on hand mentors and finally having fans being able to vote for their applicant. Every generation needed they could do a show (like AKB) and have fans vote. Would not only solidify a fan base but get them to stay since they will feel like they have a say in who is in the group.
After school was the first group to debut once I discovered Kpop back on December 2008! (I’m old 🥴😂) I was in love with the Pussycat Dolls and thus was ready for this group! They are my ult bias with Jung Ah being my first love! I remember these times so fondly and I’m so thankful someone is talking about it!!!!!
You're not old. I'm 33 and got into kpop around 2015. So a little bit later than you but still...it always felt like most of the fans are kids except me and like...2 of my friends. I think our generation is into kpop because we grew up with Spice Girls, BSB and Pussycat Dolls. Ok Pussycat Dolls were when I was already in high school I think, but Spice Girls were my jam and if I want to listen to Wonder Girls or S.E.S even hahaha that doesn't mean I'm old because honestly I feel 20. Never listened to After School tho... Too many groups in kpop lmao Anyway, just wanted to let you know you're not old if you listened to After School and discovered kpop in 2008. But then again, what's wrong with being old...
@@KyreeHarris There are a lot of older kpop fans for sure, it's just that they are literally busy with life to just be online to talk shit and argue with kids 😂😂 (tho I was attacked by quite a few older fans as well in the beginning 🤔 I remember I was kicked out from a BTS fan group for not loving IDOL 😂😂) Anyways , I was always quietly just there online in the kpop world, loving the music and all the content, tho in recent years I don't care for it that much... I mean... I for sure won't watch survival shows nowadays for example 😂 I'd rather chill, eat good food, hangout with friends or something, than freak out over stupid shows 😂😂 ESPECIALLY after I watched Mix9 and Treasure Box a few years ago 😒 I want those hours back lmao. The only times I insert myself in kpop conversations online is when I see dumb kpop fans attacking/bullying someone or something like that.
amazing work on this one! i think although they were mentioned you definitely should consider doing a full video on nu'est! their story as a whole is extremely interesting and i think it'd be worth delving into.
One of the best girl groups, with Orange Caramel being a huge plus. Pledis did them so dirty. The whole graduation thing was such bullshit. I’m getting so pissed off now.
25:20 bruh super junior was the first to indroduce the graduation system to kpop. fun fact they were also the first group to make subunits, gotta respect the og's
so interesting. i didn’t know jungah and gahee already debuted but it makes sense because idols usually debut really early. i hate that nickname for uee though. guys in the audience would grope her and grab her legs when she got off stage. also earning below minimum wage when they were so popular? wtf? idols need unions stat
This is unrelated to the video but can be a video topic for you 😊. the other day a memory popped into my head randomly but it was about the sub unit toheart or something like that ,made from woohyun and key and i think they only had one song delicious 😅 . I remember watching it on music bank back in the day but now im wondering how that even happened in the 1st place and why they stopped so if you can fulfil my curiosity I'd be very thankful .
I looove the way you narrate your research, i was wondering if you had any interest on making a video of Leader's which is the infamous 24 member group of 2011, I'd love to see what you find about them
I love your videos but this one had me second guessing if English is my first language. Please consider putting official CC instead of the automatic ones
Can you do a video on B.A.P. please. They are literally one of the most underrated groups of all time. Their music is literally amazing. All the members are so talented. If it wasn't for their shitty ass company, I bet you they would've been up there with BTS & Blackpink I swear to you.
I don't think they would have climb as high as BTS & blackpink or exo, but they would have been part of the upper class, like a monsta X, seventeen, GOT7 level of domestic & international success. It's really sad to see all the members struggling in their career now when they're so talented and the group was once a leading force... I would love a Midnight video for them.
I love your videos but you put so many adjectives, synonyms, colloquialisms, and Proverbs in the video 😭. It got distracting at times. Simplicity is sometimes better and allows you to write for a broader audience. If you should always choose the simpler or shorter word if you have the option. Using the words you included is okay in moderation, but it was way too much in this video. No disrespect, but it was really unfitting when you hear it every other sentence.
Yes and no. There were some "older" idols debuting in 2nd gen like Kahi & Jungah of Afterschool, 2ne1 Dara & Bom, Miss A Fei, f(x) Victoria, Brown Eyed Girls... But they were also a majority of teenagers, female idols debuting at 16-19 for the most part, and 2nd gen had a whole iconic 94 line with Kara Jiyoung, f(x) Sulli & Krystal, 2ne1 Minzy, Miss A Suzy, 4Minute Sohyun+ 93 liners IU, T-ara Jiyeon, Sistar Dasom, SHINee Taemin, Infinite Sungjong ... all debuting between 2008-2010. BoA debuted at 13 in 2000.
Ah After School! Remember listening to them 10 years ago! Kahi was my bias with Nana and Bekah being a close second and third
이렇게 do it, Ah
pun intended
Finally after school!! Fun fact DKB’s 1st comeback of 2021 All In is a remake of their song Because Of You as Brave Brothers is their CEO and he produced songs for AS (After School)
Omg didn’t know that! I love All in so much
@@songkangsbabyface yeah unfortunately a lot of people didn’t but you can tell how both songs are so similar
I wouldn’t call it a remake as much as I’d call it a blatant copy. But they can get away with it because BB produced both songs so no one can claim plagiarism, but calling it a remake isn’t really true because it’s a completely different song lyrically just a very similar beat.
@@SBBunny93 technically the members confirmed it as Brave Bro didn’t
@@SBBunny93 basically the lyrics are a response to because of you
My sisters introduced me to After School and they are still one of the best performance groups of all time. I shudder to think at what would've happened to Kahi had she took YG's offer, I'm glad she didn't take it.
After your incredible VIXX retrospective, I'm so excited to see After School!
Just watch it from start to finish, loved it! ❤
After school's story shouldn't be forgotten, not only because of their groundbreaking performances, but also as an example of "older" idols debuting.
Can't wait for part 2!
i have never been this early to a video in my life- ANYWAYS SO EXCITED FOR THE VIDEOOOO
I will say… I often wonder what would have happened if members were not “graduated” so early on. I felt like Kahi had more to do with this group but was cut short
the Bang line-up should've been the final line-up
Absolutely!!! That line-up had everything!
Thank you for this 🥹 After School has always been, and probably will always be my most favorite girl group ever. Incredible members, even more incredible songs, truly one of a kind ❤

The format of this video was SO perfect! I love the teen magazine touch with your script as the articles! I'm chef's kissing all over!
Yes after school! They released bangers
OMG YESSSS IVE BEEN WAITING ON SOMEONE TO MAKE A VIDEO LIKE THIS ABOUT THEM😭🥲
AAAH A DEEP DIVE INTO AFTER SCHOOL! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT, THANK YOU FOR THE INTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS! I've always really respected this group and their story is a unique and very interesting one!
THIS IS JUST AWESOME
It's like a professional documentary there are a lot of work and search and it really shows thank you for the great content
thank you so much for this video!! i remember after school being one of the first groups that got me into kpop, and they're still absolutely one of my favorites. so excited for part 2!
You did sooo welll!!! AFTER SCHOOL was and still is my ultimate bias group!!! I love and miss them so much!

Fr! Also nice Ayumi PFP!!
love the magazines!!
Yessss Morning Musume mentioon
14:08 Soyoung was added to the group before Jooyeon, there's even pictures of the 4 of them before she joined
I’ve been a fan since 2011 and I’ve never gotten this before. Thank you so much. This group got me into the kpop world
your script writing is SO good these days, youre really a great writer!
ive been waiting for this!! so excited, love your vids
I have such a huge girl crush on Nana atm after mask girl. I’ve known of After School right from when I got into kpop because of Beast in 2010, but never realised how revolutionary after school was/ still is. I can never get over (unfortunately) their last comeback, first love. The song was a bop and the pole dancing was so ingenious and tastefully done. Queen Nana was the bomb! 😭
Nana is so pretty and a really underrated visual. Also Nana is one of the few idols that fit both korean and western beauty standards. If she debuted under a big company she would have been huge.
Orange caramel and after school was the first kpop group I was exposed to, thank you for making this!
Thank you sooo much for this !! Yesss super excited for part 2 . Favorite members are OC line up , bekah ,uee, and kahi. But I love all the girls !! I still jam to there music now!! 🎉❤.

25:26 Wasn't Super Junior the first group in K-POP to have a graduation system? Granted, it failed during their early debut days (2005).....but they debuted first before After School.
Their graduation system never took off so no it was more like a scrapped concept
NO ONE can do it like After School did 💘 their japanese discography is some of the very best pop music ever, seriously :’)
Recently I have been watching quite a few of your vids - excited for this one 😋
Cant wait for the orange caramel video they were one of the first Kpop groups I listened to lol
Turns out Soyoung was the fourth member to be introduced! They had recorded the song and then the company decided to add Jooyeon at last minute
ahh im so excited to watch this i love ur vids!!
First generation of AfterSchool still hold the perfect combination for me.
This video is sooo good ! I keep coming back to it and even forming new thoughts because of it. After school was such a great group and TY for covering them
My fave songs by them are Ah!, Diva, Because Of You, and Bang 🥺❤️
The members I was the most familiar with when I was a kid were Uee because of You’re Beautiful, Lizy because of Running Man, and Nana because people always talked about her. I watched the Invincible Youth as well back then but I didn’t know Joohyun was in After School.
thank you for making this video its so good and i love the yearbook editing style! im so excited for part 2 since youll be covering my favorite kpop song EVER, Shampoo!!
“Heaven” is my ultimate favorite AS song. Kahi, Nana, Jooyeon, Beckah my ultimate favorite members. “First Love” my favorite skill performance.
I found After School in 2012 with their song Flashback and I was HOOKED!!! Then First Love came out it was right up my alley of grown music!! My favorite member is Nana because she captivated me from jump. Also LOVE Shampoo and After School Red and After School Blue. Orange Caramel is also my JAM!!
I was just having a marathon of their songs my fave song of them is shampoo ❤
i discovered after school watching a k-drama called mask girl on netflix as nana as the main lead and my favorite song is eyeline by nana
Sooo hear me out. AFTER SCHOOL: NEXT CLASS.

@@me9981 that’s so sweet! I’m glad to have you in the fandom. It’s probably more people our age who love this than I know! Lol

Same! Im 33 and started listening to kpop in 2006 🙌🏼
what a great coincidence, ive been into them lately so this is a blessing to me tysm !!
The narration script on this video is beautifully written. Good job!
amazing work on this one! i think although they were mentioned you definitely should consider doing a full video on nu'est! their story as a whole is extremely interesting and i think it'd be worth delving into.
love how they used the graduation system like many jpop groups
Please do D-UNIT. Their music was so good but I only saw them around for one year. They deserved better.
They are really irreplaceable no one can do like them really miss them 🥰🥹
Whoa I had no idea Nana was the infamous "HAAAAH" orange caramel member
Watching your video again, Midnight 😊
This 1st part was so well researched and a must see for K-Pop History 😊
thank u for doing this!!
One of the best girl groups, with Orange Caramel being a huge plus. Pledis did them so dirty. The whole graduation thing was such bullshit. I’m getting so pissed off now.
I wish they would bring back the sexy concept!

I was waitinggggg!!
Can you do a documentary series about Girls Generation?

Omg finally someone else agrees. It reminds me of how kpop CEOs describe their artists' new songs. The script gets hard to follow if it's too flowery
It actually made the video more entertaining in my opinion. I guess it's just a "different strokes for different folks" type of situation.
Your scripts are so unique because you use too many adjectives lol
❤️❤️❤️
#Uie #Uee #유이 #KimYuJin
very interesting
Bias? Juyeon, Nana, Bekah and Uee.
I only love 2 2nd gen groups- 2NE1 and After School!
What i like in og kpop is they debuted in a right ages not like today, when kids trying to be adults
Yes and no. There were some "older" idols debuting in 2nd gen like Kahi & Jungah of Afterschool, 2ne1 Dara & Bom, Miss A Fei, f(x) Victoria, Brown Eyed Girls...
But they were also a majority of teenagers, female idols debuting at 16-19 for the most part, and 2nd gen had a whole iconic 94 line with Kara Jiyoung, f(x) Sulli & Krystal, 2ne1 Minzy, Miss A Suzy, 4Minute Sohyun+ 93 liners IU, T-ara Jiyeon, Sistar Dasom, SHINee Taemin, Infinite Sungjong ... all debuting between 2008-2010. BoA debuted at 13 in 2000.
I miss After School just not that graduation system. I know he wanted to copy the AKB48 System but in the long run wasn't it.
lee kaeun deserves better
If f(x), After school, 4minute debut today they might be much succesfull
*Robin Antin, not Robin Adkins. She’s a monster and we don’t support her ❤
Pledis Entertainment sucks. They mistreat after school and let Nuest disband. It's better to choose hybe, SM and JYP.
Please look up how to pronounce certain words before recording, no offense but it’s constant throughout the video
just sounds like she used AI to write her script … not sure if the VO is a real person either
I miss After School 😢😢😢😢
