As news of Kahi’s graduation from After School has been revealed, much attention has been on who the new girl Kaeun is.
Kaeun, who was chosen as the new student of After School in April, is now 17 years old. After School’s agency Pledis Entertainment revealed, “Out of the artists in our agency, Kaeun has the most powerful dancing skills with very attractive singing skills as well.” With a baby face and a superior body, she has been known as After School’s ‘Bagel Girl.’
Also, she spent her middle school years in Japan, so she also is fluent in Japanese. K-Pop fans have mentioned that another reason Kaeun was added to aid in After School’s Japanese promotions.
After School is the only known idol group in Korea to have the graduation process. Kahi is the second member to graduate after Bekah, who graduated last July. The newly changed nine member group After School will be making a comeback through their new album on June 21.

after school's bagel girl they say. can we discuss how ridiculous is the fact that kahi apparently won't be part of their next comeback and won’t be able to properly say goodbye to the fandom and how scary is that they are saying their activities will be as a rebranded/new after school.
I got the graduation thing, I kind of understand that they're getting a new member. But it seems like they're pushing away Kahi ? Like Bekah... I feel bad for every idol in Pledis Ent through management gives so many messy and mean vibes...
and it really is ridiculous that she most likely wont be in the comeback, but one thing i dont quite understand is that shes graduated from AS (in korea) but in japan she'll continue her activities with them until september (so we can expect another new jap release?) then she'll be officially free.....? why can't they promote with her in korea too tho ._. or am i misunderstanding everything
anyway im looking forward to seeing a new generation of AS, it's going to be so interesting. like losing kahi is a huge loss and no one can replace her but AS is NOT going downhill ok

and AS have been going downhill since bang sry2say
I fear for After School. Without Gahee, and with all these young members, the group will become a shell of its former self, just like how Jewelry became after Park Jungah and Seo Inyoung left.
YOU RUINED EVERYTHING ;~;
they change members like every week
UGH TBH I HOPE THEY CHANGE MEMBERS EVERY SINGLE DAY. that would be even better!!!

wow she really has none
I guess Soyoung is just a drop out??
But yeah, I am excited for Kaeun. Hopefully her and Eyoung will shine this comeback.
KEEP SOBBING HARDER.
