Galaxy Girls Week 3: After School We are back in ready to slay your soul with another group! This week is one of my personal favorite girl group After School – not to be confused with the Korean talk show After School Club. Currently the group is on hiatus- which makes me worried that people will forget the group and the group will disband. Lucky the other Galaxy Girls agreed to spread the love for After School! After School is unique because the have an admission and graduation concept which is fits them so well as the groups name is After School! Admission is being added to the group and graduation is, unfortunately, departing from the group. So, if you see me use those words in my card that is what I mean by them! 2013 Memebers from left to right: Kaeun, Raina, Jooyeon(Graudated), Nana, Jungah (Graudated 2016), UEE(Graudated 2017), Lizzy, and E-Young Like always member introductions are first. And I kind you not I’m so excited to introduce the most slept on girl group member ever Bekah! I swear on everything while she was in After School everyone slept on her and gave her so much hate-it triggered me so much! But it’s okay because my lovely Bekah never let the haters get to her and lived a good life while in the group and is living an even better one now that is has graduated from the group.

Dope Music Videos 

2NE1 Week Begin part of one of Korea’s Big Three Companies (SM , YG, JYP) mean you have some of the best videos with (sometimes) an amazing story line/ plot. 2NE1(YG) is no exception. The girls have some high quality videos with amazing stories / plots. 2NE1’s debut song, Fire, got two videos- a space theme and street theme. Outfits of those fit the group and song perfectly. Both videos focus mostly on the dance with induvial shots of the girls. This is a great away to familiarize yourself with the girls and learn the dance. Clap Your Hands was also filmed with a street theme and street style outfits. The video again focuses on the girls and the dance. This is song is still one of their older songs at a time where the girls were still considered rookies so induvial scenes and dance scenes make a lot of sense. The induvial scenes show the girls personalities a lot. In Follow Me you can really see that YG is starting to CL as the face of the group, she gets a lot of induvial scenes and her outfit make her stand out more than the others. During this time, the girl’s roles in the group are becoming clearer. Minzy’s scenes show her to clearly be the best dancer of the group (Main Dancer), every time Bom’s lines come up she get an induvial cut (Lead Vocalist), all of Dara’s cuts show her funny/ cute side (Mood-maker), and CL gets majority of the screen time (Face of the Group). Hate You is the only animated video the girls have. CL is the blonde character, Bom is the short orange haired girl, Dara is the long brunette, and Minzy is the short black-haired girl. The main guy they are hunting down looks a lot like GD. Many of the comments now say that the guy is YG, due to the girl’s disbandment.

My Favorite 2NE1 Songs

This list reflects my own opinion, in no particular orfer, please feel free to voice your own- but do so respectfully! 1) I Am the Best My love for this song should be illegal. I love how bad ass it makes me feel. Plus, the dance is very easy to follow along with the chorus. 2) Fire Their debut song is banger. Definitely a killer away to make your team know. EH EH EH 2NE1!! This song let’s you the girls are a force to be reckoned with. Bom’s vocals are killer in the song. I totally think Dara’s part is the highlight of the song! 3) Let’s Go Party

Meet Red Velvet (Part Two)

Galaxy Girls: Get to Know Red Velvet Oh Joy, how I love to have you wreck my bias list at random times of the day. This part two of my Get to Know Red Velvet card. Be sure to check out Wendy’s card and the fellow Galaxy Girl’s card too! All cards will be link, and I will try to make a collection for you guys so you never miss a card! Park Soo-young, better known as Joy, was born in Jeju Island, South Korea on September 3, 1996. From a young age Soo-young was into music, taking interest in trot music. It wasn’t until after she received praise for her cover of Flying Duck by Korean rock band Cherry Filter did Soo-young dream of being a singer. In 2012 Soo-young took part of S.M. Global Auditions in Seoul and was casted. It was a during her two-year training period she was given her stage name Joy by her vocal coach. On July 29,2014 Joy was introduced as the fourth and final member of Red Velvet. Unlike her other group mates, Joy was never part of SM Rookies and was making her first public appearance in Red Velvet’s official teasers and photos. Right of the back the public loved Joy and she quickly became the unofficial, official face of the group taking the crown from Irene. In 2015 Joy was casted in We Got Married, a Korean variety show that pairs Korean celebrities in a virtual marriage. Her virtual husband was Yook Sung-Jae of BtoB. The couple soon became known as the Bbyu couple and showed a pure innocent relationship that reminded many of their first love. The show did wonders for Joy, helping land her a solo pictorial in the Korean magazine CeCi, a first for the rookie idol.
