is Pledis Ent.
Bae Yoonjung: What have you been doing all this time you're not promoting?
Lee Gaeun: Uh... I've been waiting for a comeback. I've waited and waited, but it never happened. Honestly, I took a quite long rest and spent my days happily. I thought I was fine. But at one point, I realised that I'm not fine at all.When the first season of Produce 101 was held, some of the girls who trained along with me participated in the show. I thought to myself, 'If only I hadn't debuted I probably could participate in the first season of the show. Ah... I clearly have debuted in a group, but why do I have nothing to do and just sitting at home watching this show instead?'
After Kahee graduated from the group, Lee Gaeun joined the group in 2012.
She participated in promoting two songs, Flashback on June 2012 and First Love on June 2013. Since then, she was forced to go through a hiatus.
This also applied to other members, not only Lee Gaeun
March 2010, After School became a big hit with Bang
The next full-group comeback was with Shampoo, on April 2011
Lee Young joined After School in this era
July 2011, After School created two different sub-units, Red and Blue
They finally got another full-group comeback with Flashback on June 2012
And another full-group comeback with First Love on June 2013
And then, they went on a indefinite hiatus after that
Lee Gaeun joined the group in 2012, promoted 2 songs, and then participated in Produce 48 in 2018
There's no picture but Bae Yoonjung also asked her whether if After School had disbanded, which she responded 'We haven't disbanded. But since the company told me I could participate in this show, it makes me think that we have [disbanded]'
This video is from an event After School attended in 2014
You can clearly see that the girls did their own make up and went on stage with casual clothings
I may be jumping to the conclusion way too fast here,
but you can also see that their expressions weren't really good
When Yoo Soyoung said she was withdrawing from the group, she was sent without any hairstyle and make up on her last stage
She couldn't even raise her head
And Pristin also experienced the same thing
They officially debuted with Wee Woo on March 2017
They had a comeback on August 2017 with We Like
Out of 10 members, they created a sub-unit called Pristin V, which consisted of Jieqiong, Nayoung, Rena, Eunwoo, and Roa
That's all
After We Like promotions, they went on a 610 days long hiatus and then announced that they were disbanding
Female trainees really shouldn't sign with Pledis
-The president of their company is basically a trash...
-The best place there is for female idols...
-I seriously don't understand why they're acting that way...
-Yoonjin-ah, are you currently doing fine?ㅠㅠ
-I feel so bad for Lee Gaeun. Some of Pristin's members re-debuted but I heard their new company is closing down... This is all because of Pledis' shitty work.
-Pristin... I seriously thought they would become a big hit with Wee Woo...
-Why are they treating their artists like this? It's not like they don't have any money or anything...
-Pristin's members are all beautiful and they shine really bright on stageㅠㅠ I was so sure they would become a big group when they debuted. Han Sungsoo is seriously so mean.
-If they still have any conscience left, they wouldn't create girl groups again...
-I really feel bad for all the members. I used to like After School, especially because Because of You. I checked the song out again after a while and it still sounds greatㅠㅠ
-This company isn't getting hate for no reason;;
-Why are they accepting trainees if this is what they're going to do?
-I really like that song of Pristin that goes, 'Hello, I'm the princess of my house~~' I don't watch any series of Produce 101 but I think I've watched that performance for like thousand times...
-Hul... Pristin disbanded??
-Why aren't they letting their artists to promote and have activities...? They're weird
-I really liked Pristin, though...
