Review: AFTER SCHOOL - First Love

Aha! I should not calling this a review...

I should call this obsessively stating how awesome After School is!!

The moment this video was released, I quietly opened the Youtube, and let the video buffered and waited for my lunchtime (sobsss!!) to actually view the   video.

First impression the minute the video started?? I AM LOVING EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF IT!!! Both video and song!!! Way much better than Flashback comeback (where I loving the MV so much but not the song. I have to play the song several times to actually liking it).

I am sooo majorly impress with my girls. They never failed to impress me. From drums, to tap dance and now...pole dance..while singing ok! It is hard. Look at their bruised from 6 month of training. I feels like crying!!

You can view the full stories here and here.

Favourite Parts of The Video

First is the the sexy hip-swaying choreographies. I'm seriously could not get my eyes off the girls, let alone the Playboyz out there. They must have 'suffer' a lot! Hihi.

Second part is towards the ending where my main bias (JungAh unnie) and my second bias, Kaeun performed solo pole dances (ok, I really don't know how to describe this, sorry!). 

Jung Ah

My main bias is beautiful and angelic looking as usual... Ok well, not that angelic when she appeared semi-nude/topless. I have no qualms about it. In fact, I'm enjoying it (in a non-sexual way, I must stress it) and kinda shock my JungAngel is brave enough to do that.

Looking angelic...

Gawk!!! There she goes! O_O ..I just don't understand how she can look angelic anddddd sexy at the same time. That's it, she must be an X-Men.. With power of seduction..

Kaeun

My second bias. I'm loving how her part is growing. She getting more lines and she in the main star (obviously) of the pole dancing in this clip. Can you see how many scenes she gets for pole dancing? Let alone she's having the pole to herself. Without sharing?? I love her sweet sugary voice. 

E-Young

I am super impress with her! No wonder she is my fellow Playgirlz main bias. She truly looks like a living doll here!! And the way she plays with the pole. Enough said. Full stop. She is just amazing.

The rest

I'm sorry. I just can't comment on every members. If I did, it will ended up like I'm sitting for SPM essay exam here (and I don't mind if the question asked me to explain the history of After School) They're just as awesome as they always be. Too beautiful that it can be considered a sin. Never fail to make other girls brimming with jealously. Loving and hating them at the same time.

And I am seriously missing Lizzy here. Please take care of yourself and please get well soon so that I can see all 8 of my girls perform together.

Oh! I'm sooo loving Jooyeon's outfit in this clip. And no, a dwarf like myself can never pull this look.

As a conclusion, I AM THOROUGHLY AMAZE with my girls. They managed to strip off 'dirty' from pole dancing and turn it into something artistic. (Yes my dear, I use to think pole dancing is dirty). The anticipation of waiting for the comeback worth every minute of it. It was like starving for months and suddenly somebody come put a plate of hot rice with soy sauce, fried fish and scrambled egg mixed together (sorry for sounding like I'm describing cat food, but this is my comfort food).

As compare to SISTAR - Give It To Me??

Here, I'm being honest and fair. Not because I'm a Playgirlz. First, I respect Sistar (and I'm in love with Bora) and their recent comebacks (Alone, Loving You and Gone, Not Around Any Longer) did have place in my heart (and my player). I'm loving those songs the moment I hear them. 2nd point, I'm kinda disappointed with After School Flashback comeback. 3rd point is, they're swapping producers for recent comeback. And honestly, Sistar teaser MV looks more appealing that After School's. 

So when Sistar released their official MV, which is 2 days earlier, I've restraint myself from listening to it as I want to compare them with After School comeback song. I wanted to know, which songs I will have the indescribable feeling for (it could be for both) and the need to obsessively repeating the song over and over and over again.

And my feeling and obsessiveness go to After School's First Love. Even though tempo sounds a bit like Sistar's Gone, Not Around Any Longer, but I'm dare saying First Love is much more better. I'm not saying Sistar's Give It To Me is a flop. The song and choreography is nice, really (and Bora looking awesome as ever), but the feeling is just not there. 

I'm seriously hoping After School gets the recognition they deserved.

How to help them? You can follow the steps here and here.

All hail After School.





                        

Beautiful Kahi

Well, I'm supposed to blog about unboxing my B.A.P album but somehow my granny-self forgot to transfer the pictures from my phone to my laptop.. Now, I ended up with nothing to write.. Padan muka.. *nyeh nyeh*

Taken from Kahi's instagram , I'm sooo mesmerize with her latest picture. She's so beautiful with that prominent dimples. How I wish she will make her solo comeback asap...

I JUST LOVE HER. *fullstop*

Unboxing: After School 1st Album New Schoolgirl

Since I love to babble so much, I've decided to split my intros accordingly before it looks like a 350 words essay needs to be submitted to your English teacher  -_-""

Intro 1 : It is kind of  hard to find people doing their review/unboxing the album through pictures. Most of them used videos. Yes, video is easier, but being at my place where your company blocks Youtube and you yourself sucks at making video, picture reviews are the most welcome ^^. So I've decided to join the small bandwagon of people who did their reviews using pictures. It was a lame excuse to avoid doing video review… Hahaha.. I can’t help it.. I’m awkward..but adorable (and deluded too >_<)

Intro 2: I considered this album rare because it was so hard to find it. Most the blog shops I've visited (and trusted) are no longer selling this album.

Album : After School 1^st Album – New Schoolgirl

Weight: ~200g

The Inside

The Photobook

Some of it..Not all

I was breathing hard and super excited when I saw this album hiding in a small little corner in Speedy Video.Being a Playgirlz, it was like finding a chest full with treasures!! And the price is cheaper.. See, happiness doubles up!! I was ‘goat smiling’ a.k.a senyum kambing when the album is finally mine and I earned ‘tsk tsk tsk’ and a headshake from my colleague.. Hahaha.. Duhhh~ You’ll never understand..

So now I wonder, if I really submit this to an English teacher, will I get an A?? O_o…Ok fine forget it..

                        

My Journey on Becoming A Playgirlz

p/s: It is not the promiscous playgirl, it is the After School fandom name. Better clarify first before my poor mom suffer from a heart attack thinking her daughter is the actual playgirl ;p

I was watching a rerun episode of Inkigayo yesterday where After School still promoting Flashback. And I still have the same goosebumps attack as when I first watched their comeback. And then, I feel proud calling myself a Playgirlz.I feel proud watching After School performing on stage.

I found myself reminiscing the moments when I acknowledge their existence, taking interest in them, memorizing all members, humming to their songs, called myself a fan and finally choosing my bias.

2010: Getting To Know After School

1. I was introduced to k-pop.

2. Crazy over Super Junior.

I was watching Star Dance Battle at that time and was rooting for Suju. While waiting, I watched others. That time, AS was against SNSD. I still remember how amazed I am watching their movements and started shooting lotsa questions to my friends who are much more familiar with k-pop. Trust me, I only knew Suju, SNSD and DBSK. T____T

Since AS is not as famous as SNSD, my friends knew so little about them except Uee since she is once part of WGM. 

Watching the dance, I went like "OMG OMG OMG!!"..They are really good, creative and powerful especially Kahi..She is just....sexy..

Then, unsatisfied, I look for more After School dance videos. Major salute to them, they were really good in dancing. And I started thinking, why don't I check their songs and videos too.. 
Here, at this very moment, I started my journey alone as most of my k-pop loving friends are not interested in knowing After School. 

Next, I've checked their latest single at that time, Bang!. Honestly, Bang! does not leave any significant affect on me. The song was so-so. Not something that I would listen again. But, I kept coming back watching their MV, because... 
1. I really really like the girls' images
2.Their dance routine (because I keep checking their live perf)
2. UEE (yes, at that time I think UEE is the most beautiful)
3. Bekah alluring gaze (I wrote about it here)
4. Raina's adlib

The journey continues when I decided to know and memorize every members and I've started digging back their past songs and MV. Here, where I started to fall for Jungah.

2011: From Interested to Love and Meeting a fellow Playgirlz

Here, I've declared myself a Playgirlz as keep updating myself with their latest news, comebacks, variety shows and pictures. In other word, I've become obsessed. I started to forget Suju. :(

 I started blogging about my love to them and here, my fellow Playgirlz and blogging buddy, Vee left a comment on my chatbox "All hail After School".. I've become super excited!! Yes! A living Playgirlz!! Trust me, being at my place, knowing another Playgirlz/Boyz, will excites you.

But things started to look bleak when they announced that Bekah is graduating. At first, I 'thought' I can accept this graduation and admision concept. But when one of your bias is 'actually' graduating, it hurts so much that I thought:
1. Am I going to remain being a Playgirlz?
2. How am I to accept other rapper except Bekah?

I even feel a wee bit down when I heard Bekah's part was being taken over by others. I felt empty, really. As if something is missing, not right.
But because I'm still crazy over Jungah and the rest of the girls because they are extremely gorgeous, I still jumping up and down everytime I watched their performances and videos!! Their dances excite me. Their songs haunting my ears. I keep humming them.

2012: I'm a TRUE Playgirlz

Again, I received another bad news. Kahi is graduating. AS dancing backbone is graduating! And she is my 3rd bias. What will become of After School? One of the reason After School is known is because of the Kahi's dancing abilities. And of course UEE.. Is this the end for After School? 

I pray very hard that it is not. They are talented and they deserve the limelight. Here I've decided, with or without Kahi, I will become hardcore Playgirlz. I will support them.
Surprisingly, I was super duper impressed with After School's comeback and I did not miss Kahi one bit. I even despise those who laments "It is not the same without Kahi" bla bla bla.. Get over it! Love AS as one. Kahi is my blogging buddy main bias and she is not affected that much. She even managed to find herself a new bias (E-Young).
I know, one day, Jungah will graduated, because deep in my heart, I want her to have a solo career as it is her dream to become a performer. That's why you never see her pursuing other activities like acting. 

And I've started going gaga over new AS member, Kaeun. Vee is right, it does helps when you have more than one bias.

Here also, I've started rooting for Orange Caramel. Usually, I despise cutesy concept, but because of AS, I've started liking OC. 

This is what I meant when I say I love AS as one. Cutesy or sexy, I heart them. Every single member.
And I'm never bored with Flashback. :)

Opinion Piece: The Pros and Cons of a Playgirlz/Boyz

*NOT MINE but I totally agree with this and I can relate myself with JungAh*

PLAYGIRLZsome say they are the most silent fandom
some say they are the most civilized one
some say they are the friendliest
and some say they are the most approachable.

It’s quite flattering to read/hear those comments towards Playgirlz…
but what is a ‘Playgirlz’ to a Playgirlz’s points of view?

A Playgirlz says to me that we are “the strongest emotional fandom” which I strongly agree. Playgirlz is one, if not most, emotionally battered fandom.

After School: the reason behind Playgirlz’s existence and vice-versa.

Everyone knows that After School has this unique admission and graduation system. A system that is hard to accept but has to be.

Debuted on January 2009, After School has graduated 3 students and admitted 5 students since then. 5 times the happiness, 3 times the sadness. But those 3 times is a lot, especially the last two. It almost breaks us. Almost. But it didn’t. It makes us stronger.

I must say Playgirlz/Boyz lives in fear and anticipation. Fear that one member will suddenly graduate anytime and anticipation for future members.

Playgirlz are frustrated. Frustrated for the fact that, admit it or not, After School is still underrated.

It’s usual for us, Playgirlz, to hear/read praises towards them because of their unique concepts and awesome stage performances but that’s just it.

We actually didn’t care anymore whether they’ll win an award or not because we’re aware of the fact that Korean music charts are manipulated by big entertainment agencies.

But we sure love it if they’ll win an award they deserve, that’s why B.O.Y era is the most glorious era for us.

Playgirlz also has this love-hate relationship with Pledis.

Playgirlz sure loves Pledis for giving us these talented girls, but hates it (Pledis) too for giving After School such system.

Graduation might be the cruelest concept but we should know that through this concept, our bias group will live longer… longer than the most famous group there is.

Technically, the average life span of a group is 5 years. Just 5 freaking short year, but we must not need to worry about that.

With the admission and graduation system, it gives us a relief than even after the original members graduated, even after they got married and have a kid and even after us, Playgirlz, move on and leave our fangirl/fanboy life, we’ll still see a girl group named AFTERSCHOOL performing on stage, strutting their stuff and showing off their talents.

But then again, a mere system isn’t enough; there should be solidarity within the group. It’s essential. And again, we should not worry about that.

After School consist of girls with different age and personality, but that does not hinder them from having this close family ties relationship.

Never did we saw, even once, a wall between them. It may still look/feel awkward for newly added members to blend in and adapt at first, but the older unnies made sure they won’t feel any awkwardness or the feeling of being an outcast, and the best example of this is Uie.

Uie is known for being the strictest member next to Kahi, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t approachable cuz in fact, she’s the one who guides Eyoung and Kaeun when they first joined the group. Being the bigger unni, she did everything for those girls to feel that they belong and that they’re family.

Also, one strong advantage this group has is that they have a strong foundation, foundation that Kahi herself created. Kahi may not be in the group anymore but that doesn’t mean that she stops looking out for her babies. After School is her life. She builds it as if she builds a home for her family, strong and solid.

Another thing is that they got strong adviser and peace maker, JungAh. JungAh may not be the strongest/biggest person in the group but her presence alone calms the younger member. Make them feel safe.

Each member has a different personality which is essential in this group. they may be girls with different personality but together, they’re so right.

I know these girls won’t stay forever in After School but I’m pretty sure they’ll pass this legacy to the future AS members.

Having the chance to see your bias groups even after 10-20 years have passed…

I’ll conclude that Playgirlz and Playboyz are the most blessed fandom.

All About After School : Jungah's Hairstyle

I was browsing afterschooldaze@wordpress 2 days ago when I realized something.
Jungah is sporting a new hairdo. She has bangs now.

During live perf at Green Grove Festival 20120722

There is one thing for sure, I HATE it. She looks like ahjumma (makcik/aunty). What was she thinking? *or what was her hairstylist thinking?* @__@

I'm sure most us Jung-Ah eonnie's fans will agree. Judge it yourself.

Here is a compilation of her past hairstyles with bangs/fringes on. :(

The biggest picture is the latest one. She looks older than she supposed to be.

Here is the compilation of her past hairstyles that I think suits her extremely well.

Long, short, brunette or blonde, she rocks them all without the ahjumma-looking fringes. She looks like a sexy angel *Is that a sin?Saying sexy and angel in one sentences? ;p* She looks mature (not in ahjumma ways), drop dead gorgeous and serene. Those hairstyles enhance all her beauty features.

I think she also looks great with a side-swept bangs. Depends on the main hairstyle.

The most disastrous hairstyle

Haish! If she is my biological sister, I might considered sueing the hairstylist and giving a lecture to her myself as well for agreeing to this style!! Thank God she is blesses with beauty, if not, even Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notredame looks better!! :(

After School’s Jung Ah once dated a man 7 years her junior

It turns out After School‘s Jung Ah is into younger men.

On the July 17th broadcast of SBS ‘Strong Heart‘, After School member Jung Ah revealed her ideal type. “I have a lot of younger dongsengs around me, so I would like a dependable younger man for a boyfriend,” she said.

Fellow group member Lizzy who calmly listened to Jung Ah explain her ideal type then suddenly blurted, “She is an expert when it comes to younger men!”

Despite looking a bit taken aback by Lizzy’s remark, the 29 year old Jung Ah admitted that she once even received a love confession from a young 19 year old.

She then revealed, “I once dated a guy 7 years younger than me,” shocking everyone on set. “As long as he is not a minor, I am open to dating a younger man.”

Homaigod Jjung-eonnie!!! It is unexpected from you! I never see this 'side' of you..

Then again, it was not all-round shocking if young men confess their loves to her. She's perfect. She's beautiful, serene, soft yet so sexy and strong. Even I'm, a girl, going ga ga ,obsess and fan-girling all over her. Let alone the opposite sex. Young or older than Jjung-eonnie, I don't mind as long as she is HAPPY. :)

To commemorate this shocking fact, let us ogle the many sides of beautiful Jung Ah-eonnie
