Fondly nicknamed "elephant-shoulders" by fans, UEE (of After School; no shit) will be releasing an album. The title track is said to be cutesy.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarf. Why is the (arguably: Jooyeon blows pretty hard too) worst singer in After School going solo before every other member (other than Kahi)? The fuck is this shit? Hopefully she doesn't promote much: I don't want to see her bigger-than-Bartholomew-Kuma shoulders while enjoying my weekly dose of music shows.
And in other AS news, Bekah is 'graduating'. Either she's getting bored with having a respectable two fans, or Pledis is kicking her to make way for younger, more popular members.
why not Nana first...
ReplyDeletealso who made the new blog banner?
+1 for the One Piece reference.
ReplyDeleteBekah is like Amber and Hyoyeon in America, both are the most popular members overseas but are less popular in Korea.
ReplyDeleteGood call Pledis.
Jooyeon can sing, Pledis just doesn't want her to sing.
ReplyDeleteJooyeon is terrible. She's just fap material.
ReplyDeletePeople say Uee is hot and I'm like "uh, yeah... if you like big girls"
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying she's fat, just BIG. Did you see the sports special in Thailand when they had to reach the hanging laver? It nearly seemed better for the dude to stand on her shoulders!
She is also easily the most boring member of After School. I have no idea how she'll manage to make a solo stage interesting.
makes me wanna start watching one piece again
ReplyDeleteHan Groo just comes to my mind when I think of how Uee's stage will look like.
ReplyDeleteNo, you see, Han Groo is HELD BACK by her agency. Have you heard her sing? She can sing. Did you see her on star dance battle? She can dance.
ReplyDelete"Bekah is like Amber and Hyoyeon in America, both are the most popular members overseas but are less popular in Korea.
ReplyDeleteGood call Pledis."
Definitely agree but this time After School will lose their credibility to be popular overseas without an English speaker like Bekah. I wonder what chick they're gonna hire next to do the rapping? Hopefully not someone with bad English like HyunAh.
after reading about this news on akp I was just waiting for this site to write an article on it. man, this is fucking ridiculous. uee can't sing, can't dance, is average-looking even after plastic surgery, and anon@9.22 is spot on - she's not fat, but there is an awful lot of her there. prepare for max autotune.
ReplyDeleteps. nice banner. haha
jesus christ i was so mad when I saw the article about uee getting a solo album. Though uee has lots of fans who would most probably eat up all the stuff she promotes, I would have preferred Jung Ah, Bekah or Raina to have gotten solo albums instead since they can actually sing (or in Bekah's case rap). lol pledis why?
ReplyDeleteI guess uee gets a solo album since Gahee and the orange caramel group has their own albums. But how can Jungah not get a solo album!!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that they let Beckah go. either pledis is not strict with contracts, or they were going to let beckah go anyway. I guess that vacation she was on in december was to give her time to decide.
Funny now that for the japanese debut they are going to look for a japanese member according to the akp article
Uee = Profit generating asset.
ReplyDeleteJung Ah = Loss generating asset.
Go figure.
LOL.......So, One of the THREE good members of After School is leaving and the give the solo to the WORST singer in the group!?!?! LOL I know UEE is pretty and all (personally I don't really think so, I think she's plain looking but everyone else in Asia seems to think so, watevs)but WTF. I can't wait till this company goes down.
ReplyDeletePLEDIS = FAIL
LOL EVEN BEKAH CAN SEE BETTER THAN UEE!!!
ReplyDeleteA tragedy to lose Bekah. It's even worse that the worst singer and most boring, conceited member of After School gets her own album.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as Jungah is subtly asked to leave by Pledis, there really is no point in following AS. They've already lost 2 original members, why not go all the way and take out all 5.
Kahi, what are you doing? You're a better leader than this.
Glad to see that Pledis doesn't know talent when it has it.....adios Bekah, one of the two who actually give fierceness and presence to AS
ReplyDeleteAs for Uee...............looking forward to a fully auto-tuned song with garbage lyrics. I don't blame Uee, I blame pledis for focusing on the popular, pretty and untalented rather than the talented, such as JungAh and Bekah. OH Pledis.....what has happened to you???? Oh that's right you suck.
Looking forward to all delusional Uee-biased fans selling out her crap songs!
~Adios
It's obvious that this was all planned. The injuries and vacations.. all total bullshit. They were planning this from the start because after the release of Virgin, they have been on a constant downward slope in popularity and sales.
ReplyDeleteSo of course they would add a Japanese member to remain favored and relevant in their bid to achieve success in Japan, but we all know Korean idols rapping in Japanese is a total no-no. Since that is all she can do, you can sorta see why that wouldn't work out especially when there are others in the group who can both sing and rap if needed. Plus, I highly doubt she would be well-received by Japan, since she does not have the look or the voice. She would only potentially hold the group back even more. Also, they don't seem to confident on their talent alone.
Similar to 2NE1's success in the Philippines is arguably as a result of and dependent on Dara being in the group, they are obviously banking on this same potential effect occurring as a result of the addition of a Japanese member.
^Too comment above
ReplyDeleteWTF all the Japanese people I know love Bekah and her raps and was wondering why she didn't debut with AS in the Jap pv, what you're saying is just speculation.
But I do blame the retarded company Pledis. Too busy on crappy untalented pretty singers that will only produce overly auto-tuned songs to cover up the crappyness of their voice. I agree, Bekah singing voice is farrrr better than Uee's. So maybe they could've made her a singer in Japan huh, since they apparently hate rappers so much!
Bekah should join YG Ent. at least they treat their artist better rather than this stupid excuse for a company
ReplyDeleteI blame Pledis I mean they are the people that decides what the members do and stuff. I feel bad for Uee I mean Pledis obviously wants money so they are using her popularity as bait. Also Bekah was smart leaving the Korean idol industry, now she actually has a chance to live life and get a stable career. I am happy she is going to do what she wants because she deserves the best.
ReplyDeletelol, it's just gonna be a loss to Pledis and they won't be able to blame anyone but themselves. A huge loss in international fans because Bekah's leaving due to their negligence of those with actual talent and a loss in fans due to Uee's crap singing.
ReplyDeleteAfter School is just going down.....I'm definitely leaving AS now that Bekah's gone, no point in them now since Pledis is gonna push the talents in the background anyway.
^Actually, they will be able to.
ReplyDeleteThey'll just say she wanted to pursue her true dreams.
owh~~~~ my first time to see bekah is my last time to see her in SG @,@
ReplyDeleteUee is grossly over-rated!
