A collection of pictures of girl group members with and without makeup have surfaced, attracting much attention from fans and netizens.
The collection of photos that have been making its way around on online portals feature After School‘s NaNa and Lizzy, T-ara‘s Jiyeon, miss A‘s Min, and Brown Eyed Girls‘ Ga In and Narsha.
The pictures surprised many who are unfamiliar with the differences in image that eye makeup can create, for the members give off a more fresh and innocent charm in their before pictures rather than the sexy image they usually show off on stage.
Netizens responded, “The importance of makeup“, “Makeup alone can make people look so different“, and “The before and after pictures are surprising.”

Turns out After School‘s NaNa has pretty underarms in addition to her beautiful face.
The August 7th broadcast of Mnet‘s ‘Yoo Sae Yoon’s Art Video‘ created a supportive UCC for the Olympic athletes as well as the Korean fans.
Yoo Sae Yoon began explaining to the After School girls the physical activities they needed to partake in, and the girls remarked with concern, “There actually aren’t too many members that are good at sports and like to exercise.”
Seizing an opportunity to tease the girls, Yoo Sae Yoon made reference to After School’s Japanese deodorant advertisement by saying, ”You girls probably don’t sweat that much either, since you use a lot of deodorant.”
In the past, the girls had shot an advertisement for Japanese deodorant brand ‘Rexena‘, where they boldly bared their underarms while pulling off a fierce dance dressed in sexy attire.
Member Lizzy then unexpectedly revealed, “NaNa unnie has the cleanest armpits, so hers are the main armpits,” causing the entire set to erupt into laughter.
Viewers who watched the episode responded with, “Lizzy sure knows how to make people laugh on a variety show,” as well as “No wonder, NaNa looked so confident in those ads,” and “NaNa is popular in Japan for her underarms?”
Meanwhile, After School who made a comeback with their new song “Flashback” are actively promoting in Japan as both artists and models.

Girl group After School, who made an eye-catching comeback with their 5th Maxi Single “Flashback“, is expected to actively partake in Japanese promotions as both models and artists.
It was recently revealed that the girls will be participating in ‘Tokyo Girls Collection in Nagoya 2012‘ on September 1st, while the group’s unit Orange Caramel will also be featuring in the event, drawing more anticipation from their fans.
Member Nana who has actively promoted in both Korea and Japan as a model as well as a singer, is also currently a fixed member of fashion information program ‘Tokyo Brand New Girls‘, and has also been confirmed to feature in ‘A-Nation Music Week Collection Supported By Girls Award‘, which will take place August 5th and 8th.
Furthermore, After School also drew attention after becoming the very first idols to be selected as muses for global handbag brand, ‘Samantha Thavasa‘.
Netizens who heard the news responded by saying, “I hope After School will dominate both Korea and Japan!”, “Looking forward to Nana!”, “Orange Caramel is so popular ahead of their debut!”
In related news, After School’s global unit Orange Caramel will be standing on the same as popular Japanese girl group AKB48 at ‘A-Nation Music Week Asia Progress F‘ taking place on August 10th.
On July 23rd, After School‘s Raina guested on Mnet‘s ‘Beatles Code 2‘ and revealed that she had once woken up naked without herself knowing.
Singer/actor Tak Jae Hoon first brought up the subject by revealing that his preferred article of clothing for bed time was his birthday suit.
Raina replied by revealing, “I don’t wear much to bed myself. I once woke up completely naked, and I still don’t know how that happened. I found myself lying on my bed naked when I woke up.”
The MCs couldn’t help but ask if she had gone to bed drunk, to which she flatly denied, “No. I really don’t know why.”
Her roommate and fellow member Nana added, “I don’t remember seeing her taking off her clothes to sleep. As for myself, I find it uncomfortable wearing my underwear to bed.”

UEE revealed her plans to make the ceremonial first pitch at an upcoming baseball game.
As UEE is the daughter of Nexen Heroes coach Kim Sung Gap, many baseball fans are focusing more on her pitch than they usually do when it comes to celebrity throws.
UEE commented, “There are plans for me to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. If I do throw out the first pitch, I will practice harder with my father.”
Looking back on her experience in May of 2010 when she was unable to pitch at a Nexen Heroes and LG Twins game due to arriving late, she’s more determined this time around. She was late to the 2010 event due to scheduling conflicts as well as a minor vehicle collision. It was the first time a celebrity scheduled to throw the first pitch was unable to make it.
UEE continued, “I felt so bad for the disturbance I caused last time, so if I am given another opportunity, as my father’s daughter, I will practice really hard. To be honest, I haven’t been able to see my father much lately because of my promotions in Japan. My father’s team is doing really well these days, and he’s drinking herbal medicine to maintain his health. I hope that After School can take that strength and succeed too!”
After School recently made a comeback after a year with their new single “Flashback“. The single has a strong electronic sound, fitting in well with After School’s powerful performance style. The album features the title track “Flashback” as well as a duet by Raina and Jung Ah and a solo track by Nana, among others.
The group has not only worked in Korea but also in Japan, America, and Sweden to complete the album. With the help of choreographer Kyle Hanagami, they were able to secure a power dance for their new track. People are saying that this is one of the best albums released by After School as it complements their sexy, classy, powerful, and tender charms.

After School‘s Nana has clinched her very first solo CF deal for Korea’s biggest diet brand!
Following after former models the Brown Eyed Girls and G.NA, new behind-the-scenes cuts of Nana showing off her Barbie girl figure for the camera prove that Nana is the perfect model to inspire people to shed the pounds they’ve gained over the colder months and get fit for the summer. In both versions, she’s wearing skin tight one pieces that show off her slender and long figure.
Although busy with After School’s “Flashback” comeback, Nana braved the 15 hour long photoshoot with ease.
A representative of the set commented, “As a former super model, she’s already known as the role model for dieting amongst her fans. She will be showing off an even more healthy and beautiful body through the diet program.”

After the rumors that suggested that Nana may become the next leader along with Pledis Entertainment‘s vague answer that neither refuted nor confirmed the rumors, many had been awaiting news about the next leader of After School.
On June 13th, a source within Pledis Entertainment tipped Star N, “It seems the empty leader position with the graduation of Kahi will be taken on by Jung-Ah.”
With Kahi’s leave and news of solo career, fans and netizens alike had been anxious to see who would fill her shoes. It seems that Jung-Ah, a member who has promoted for a long while alongside Kahi as well as now the oldest of the group, is most likely going to be leading After School with their comeback.
The source explained, “Although there is still discussion going on, unless something happens, Jung-Ah, as the oldest unni, will be promoting from the leader position.”
In related news, After School will be coming back with their new track, “Flashback” on the 21st with their newest member Ga-Eun.

With the recent double-header news of Kahi leaving the group, as well as After School‘s impending comeback, attention has shifted to talks about who will be next-in-line to fill Kahi’s shoes as the new leader of the group.
Eagle-eyed netizens have spotted what may be a veiled hint in one of their teaser photos for their upcoming “Flashback” comeback album. In the group shot featuring all eight of the members, Nana alone was revealed to be wearing gold-plated shoes instead of the usual black the rest of the girls are sporting.
With their “Bang!” comeback two years ago, then-leader Kahi exhibited a similar style with her trademark gold drum, which differentiated her from the rest of the group and helped mark her position as the leader of After School.
Pledis Entertainment maintained a neutral stance on the issue, neither denying nor confirming, saying, “You’ll be able to find out when you watch their comeback stage on the 21st”.

After School‘s Nana is no stranger to the catwalk, so as the official model of the ‘2012 Tokyo Girls Collection Spring/Summer‘, Nana hit the runway and showed off a new season of changes.
Held on March 3rd at the Yokohama Arena, Nana earned attention not as a part of the congratulatory performance or a guest model (which most Hallyu idols are usually invited for), but as an official model of the collection. The ‘Tokyo Girls Collection’ is known for only showcasing top stars and top models, so it’s quite the honor for Nana.
Fans may remember her experience with the ‘Girls Award‘ fashion stage as well as her participation in the ‘Seoul Fashion Week S/S 2012‘ for designer Park Yoon Soo. Her stardom is also reaching into Japan, as she’s graced the cover of major Japanese magazines like ‘SWAK’, which previously featured hit stars like Mizuhara Kiko and Tsuchiya Anna.
In related news, After School will be releasing their first Japanese studio album, ‘PLAYGIRLZ‘, on March 14th, and wil be kicking off their nationwide tour on the 27th.

After School member Nana has been selected to model for a famous Japanese magazine.
Leading Japanese fashion magazine ‘SWAK‘ recently approached Nana for a special interview, and requested the former supermodel to grace the cover of their March publication.
Only the most elite of Japanese celebrities such as Sawajiri Erika, Sasaki Nozmoi, Mizuhara Kiko, and Anna Tsuchiya are given the opportunity to pose for the cover of ‘SWAK’ magazine, and this opportunity is as a tremendous honor for a K-pop idol star.
Nana posed like the true model that she is, showcasing all of her appeals for SWAK‘s March edition.
Nana was a contestant at the 2009 Super Model Contest and has walked the runway for the ‘Girls Award‘ event in Japan for 2 consecutive years. She also served as a model for designer Park Yoon Soo‘s Spring and Summer clothing line during Seoul’s Fashion Week.
Her agency Pledis remarked, “The Japanese really like Nana for her sharp facial features, fashionable style, and eccentric appeal. They have been showing increasing interest after she was selected as a cover model.”
In related news, Nana along with the rest of her After School members have plans to release their full-length Japanese album ‘Playgirlz‘ on March 14th, and will be holding their first independent concert in Japan in April.
