Before and after makeup pictures of girl group members draw attention






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 Jiyeonmiss A‘s Min, and Brown Eyed GirlsGa 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.”

After School’s NaNa has the cleanest armpits?





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.

After School’s Lizzy researches facial expressions by watching adult films?





In a classic case of the “for science!” excuse, After School‘s Lizzy recently revealed that one of her methods of learning facial expressions was by watching adult films.


On a recent broadcast of the radio show ‘Boom’s Young Street’, radio DJ Boom asked, “Your title track “Flashback” is a sexy concept. Wasn’t that hard for our Lizzy, who has always been cute?”


“It was very stressful to try to be sexy when I’m not,” Lizzy confessed. “So I asked UEE unnie what I should do to be more sexy, and she told me to think about perverted thoughts. So I watched many adult films.”


Boom then followed up by asking if it actually worked, to which Lizzy replied, “But I found I just couldn’t do those kinds of expressions onstage, and you’re not supposed to. So I turned off the lights off at night and practiced by myself.”


Her story garnered different reactions from listeners, with one pointing out that “she has been trolled by UEE“, while another said – more straightforwardly – “Lizzy is so cute”.

On the May 16th episode of ‘Weekly Idol‘, the members of 4minute, who are currently promoting their track “Volume Up“, appeared as guests.

MBLAQ’s Lee Joon & After School’s Lizzy become a couple for ‘Pit-a-Pat Shake’





Following the announcement of Sungmin and Hyorin‘s pairing, MBLAQ‘s Lee Joon has been confirmed to be the partner of After School‘s Lizzy for MBC‘s Lunar New Year special, ‘Pit-a-pat Shake‘!


On January 5th, an aerobics coach who had joined the show for its first recording revealed that he had worked with Lizzy and Lee Joon, thus confirming that they were a couple.


That only leaves SECRET‘s Sunhwa and KARA‘s Seungyeon left. Fans previously managed to dig up that Sunhwa and Lizzy’s partners were a singer and an actor, which now means that Sunhwa’s partner is an actor.


As previously revealed, this spin-off has a chance of becoming a regular show in the ‘Sunday Night‘ corner should it do well in viewer ratings.

Lizzy, Sunhwa, Hyorin, and Seungyeon confirmed for ‘We Got Married’ spin-off





KARA‘s Seungyeon, After School’s Lizzy, SISTAR‘s Hyorin, and SECRET‘s Sunhwa have been confirmed for MBC‘s new ‘We Got Married‘ spin-off, ‘Pit-a-pat Shake‘.


On January 6th, PD Jun Sung Ho revealed, “We recently completed the first shoot with Seungyeon, Lizzy, Hyorin, Sunhwa, and their male partners. The atmosphere was great, and I think it will be fun for the audience to watch the stories these couples create.”


When asked about the male partners, they revealed, “We cannot reveal that yet. There’s a mix of singers and actors.”


He continued, “The female stars showed a side to them that isn’t normally seen. Seungyeon had unique ideas about dating with a strong feminine side, while Hyorin was cool about everything. Sunhwa was also different from the ‘blank sheet’ character she’s known to be. Lizzy was well-loved by the male stars and worked hard to escape her ‘saturi’ image. Still, she couldn’t help but slip in her country dialect now and then, which was cute.”


The spin-off is the dating version of ‘We Got Married’. The continuation of the show will depend on how the viewers receive it for now.

After School’s Lizzy shows off her impressive list of friends





After School‘s resident cutie-pie Lizzy recently displayed her far-reaching list of celebrity friends. She proudly stated, “I’m close with a lot of people through variety programs, includingYoo Jae Suk oppa, Song Joong Ki oppa, Jung Hyung Don oppa, and Lee Gwang Soooppa… Yesterday, I had a chat with Jae Suk oppa after going out with both Joong Ki oppa and Gwang Soo oppa.”

Through her various variety show appearances, Lizzy has managed to build up quite a contact list. She continued, “Jae Suk oppa calls me whenever I appear on a variety program… He’s a good senior who gives me advice on what to do.”

What are the reasons behind Orange Caramel’s success?




Out of the many ‘unit groups’ that promote separately from their core group, one of the most successful is Orange Caramel, who has a batting average of 4 out of 4 when it comes to their singles, starting with last year’s “Magic Girl” and ending with their latest effort, Shanghai Romance“. Whether for good or for bad, they’ve scored enough successes to start hearing the words “better than After School”.

How have LizzyRainaand Nana been able to make Orange Caramel such a hit? The members themselves play a large role; with Raina, After School‘s main vocal, the sub-unit is able to hold their own in talent. She also provides the foundation for Orange Caramel’s trademark sweet tunes.

Nana, meanwhile, checks off the ‘visuals’ box as she’s able to deliver a plethora of image concepts, from sexy to cute to tough and feminine. Then, of course, there’s Lizzy, the resident K-pop aegyo girl who managed to make a name for herself through her variety and sitcom appearances. Thanks to her public recognition, Orange Caramel gains a boost as well.

One word that cannot be left out in any discussion of Orange Caramel is “concept”. The sub-unit stakes much on their unique concepts, and the members avow that their success is tied to the success of their concept. Industry insiders often say that “girl groups have nothing new to deliver”, and yet Orange Caramel managed to break away from the stale “sexy vs.cute” debate with the very own ‘unique’ look.

Their concept relates especially well to the Korean idea of “ppongkki” – a word that is hard to translate into English, but which relates to a distinctive Korean style of music that brings back images of trot singers and old people having a jolly time.

Opinions clash regarding Orange Caramel, with popular opinion tottering between “fresh” and “overly cute”. Despite their detractors, they have never backed away from their concept. The members have gotten used to the idea, with them even pitching their own proposals about where to go next.

One sure-fire barometer of their success is the massive number of parodies they inspire in popular culture. Both citizens and fellow idols (especially male idols) have created parodies of their songs, further solidifying their establishment in popular media.

Orange Caramel’s fan base is varied, with both male and female fans of their music. However, if After School can be said to have a larger-than-normal amount of female fans for a girl group, Orange Caramel could be seen as its counterbalance, having a large number of male fans.
