It doesn't matter what the situation is, everybody's got an opinion
about how k-pop agencies should run their artists. Surely with such a
wealth of business knowledge coming from both Korean and international
netizens, it's a wonder that any k-pop agencies ever lose money and have
misfortunes at all! If only k-pop agencies took heed of the plethora
of free advice and popular opinion out there on the Internet, nobody in
k-pop need ever fail at anything ever again!
So
why do k-pop agencies continue to act like they know what's in their
own best interests? Why don't they just listen to us and do what we
want? Read on as Kpopalypse demystifies the mystical mysteries of some

Straight from Pledis, they're the baddest, After School make their Korean comeback after months of fucking around in Japan.
Their new song and MV is called Flashback, and it's meant to hearken back to their sexy concept when they first debuted. Although I'm pretty sure they've continued to be mildly sexy in all their releases (Ah, Diva, Because of You, Bang, Shampoo, In The Night Sky), I'm not about to say no to an extra helping of sexualization in K-pop. Will this song and MV propel After School back into relevancy?
